I’m not even American, so it doesn’t affect me directly, but I am scared to death of a Trump presidency.
I am one of those people here who think that Biden is a far more competent executor of imperialist policies compared to Trump, but what I am even more afraid of is the early death of nascent left wing movements in America.
I am reminded of how the KPD getting its leaders murdered by Freikorps thugs during the Spartacist uprising (mind you, a much stronger party than any leftist movement in America today), and how its continued suppression paved the way to Nazi Germany.
Project 2025 will effectively embolden fascist thugs in America to do the same to the left wing movements, many of which are still in their cradle, and the death of leftist movements in their infancies will inevitably pave the way to a fascist America and undo many of the progress that had been made over decades.
The world cannot afford a fascist America. Imagine Hitler with nukes. The world will have to pay a much, much larger price as a result.
On this reasoning alone, I believe that Trump needs to be stopped at all cost. But many here have disagreed with me, and I need you to persuade me why I shouldn’t be afraid of Project 2025 at all. Even if the chance of that happening is 10%, I’m still not ready to gamble with it.
(I’m not saying we have to support Biden, I believe it is somewhat inevitable, I’m saying that we have to buy ourselves as much time as possible, even if it means strategic voting, to build a resilient leftist movement while delaying the inevitable for as long as we can.)
You're viewing a single thread.

Like every major city is like 60% Police Budget and the Democrats just come around and say, how about we make that 70%. Even Dear Lord and Savior Bernie Sanders was like, we NEED TO RAISE PUHLICE SALARIES when he ran for President. Like Biden had a Democrat majority for the first half of Presidency and implemented no measures to protect abortion or Trans people in Red States. Biden came out publicly against stacking the courts to protect policies. Democrats purposely run boring Centrist candidates in Red States that are known losers instead of experimenting. Plus, any veneer is just gone with Biden pushing the genocide in Palestine. Like what is Fascism to you, really. When you're the target in the country you live in?
Also reads like someone that has never spoken to an indigenous person about how the US is literally just Nazism but much further progressed.
