āa political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralizedĀ autocraticĀ government headed by aĀ dictatorialĀ leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of oppositionā
So breaking it down:
āthat exalts nation and often race above the individualā - Trump, not Biden.
ācentralizedĀ autocraticĀ governmentā - Trump, not Biden (or any Democrat, really, ācentralizedā isnāt their thing).
āsevere economic and social regimentationā - I could see this one being argued āboth sidesā. The difference being Democrats want to use the regimentation to protect people and Republicans want to use it to oppress people.
āforcible suppression of oppositionā - Definitely Trump, not Biden.
Fascism is defined by whatever arbitrary definition you can apply so only Donald Trump fits in it and Joe Biden doesnāt.

This is true if we just ignore every time Biden does these things.
The Biden administration once again bypasses Congress on an emergency weapons sale to Israel
Biden intervenes in railroad contract to block strike
Biden stressed that the rule of law āmust be upheldā hours after police violently dispersed peaceful protests at universities in Los Angeles and New York, arresting hundreds of students.

Removed, ad hominem.
I unironically love a mod thatās active and on top of things. Youāre doing the lordās work, @jordanlund@lemmy.world
Seriously, Iām not even mad.
Other folks are just as active, Iām just more public about it for transparency reasons.
