Care to provide a definition for what you think fascism is? While there are a few accepted definitions of fascism, a common thread tends to be a militarized regime run by the oligarchs who control the industry. This is precisely what we see happening in US. Both Trump and Biden represent the interests of the oligarchs and this is reflected by decades of policy data:
Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology and movement, characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.
Let’s break down Biden point by point, shall we?
Far-right: No
Dictatorial: No
Ultranationalist: No
Supports centralized autocracy: No
Supports Militarism: Yes
Forcibly suppresses opposition: No
Believes in natural social heierachy: No*
Believes individual interests should be sacrificed for the perceived good of the nation: No
Promotes strong regimentation of society and economy: No
*: Not enough data to indicate his personal beliefs on this.
Biden is nowhere near Fascism based on that definition, and unless you can provide a better one that isn’t " because the US is a defacto oligarchy and Biden is a warmonger," there’s no way to square that circle.
Both US republicans and democrats are very much far right by any sensible standard
Dictatorial: No
Read the study I linked above which clearly shows that US political system works in the interest of the elites, that’s what a dictatorial system looks like.
Ultranationalist: NoI
LMFAO imagine thinking that US isn’t ultranationalist
Supports centralized autocracy: No
Again, see study above
Forcibly suppresses opposition: No
All alternative parties are effectively excluded from participating in the US
Believes individual interests should be sacrificed for the perceived good of the nation: No
LMAO, covid response where Biden admin sacrificed countless vulnerable people for the sake of the economy begs to differ
I think you and I are talking past each other. Your personal definitions for these words, based on your examples, are far too broad, in my opinion. I do not think there’s anything on this topic that we can agree upon if we can’t agree what these words mean.
I’m not using personal definitions for any words, and I’ve even provided you a study analyzing decades of US policy supporting my points. If we can’t agree on basic and obvious facts of the situation then any meaningful discussion of the subject is indeed impossible.

Take care.

How many times are you going to link that study? Doesn’t it get old after a while?
As long as it stays relevant. I see it still gets under your skin.
