>"It's not about one man. Trumpism isn't Trump. It's fascism that happens to be centered around Trump, just like Naziism wasn't Hitler, even though it was focused on him."

I don't think the Biden administration backs trumpism. I don't think the CDC backs trumpism. Big pharma is not behind that either.

>"I stand by what I said: don't confuse America as it is with America as it ought to be or America as these fascists want to make it. These are all distinct things and you can endorse some without endorsing all the others."

America as it ought to be: The founding documents plus all the amendments, integrity and expanded rights and compassion for all.

America as it is: A plutocracy willing to kill a million of its own citizens to make a dollar

America as fascists want it: I don't give a fuck; they're insignificant, irrelevant

@Pat

America as fascists want it is a plutocracy, and it's what they're trying to move us towards.

People like Biden are moving us away from it.

>"America as fascists want it is a plutocracy, and it's what they're trying to move us towards."

Plutocracy - government by the wealthy

Fascist - nationalist, racist, dictatorial, centralized economic and political control, maintained by force

>"People like Biden are moving us away from it."

Biden is from Delaware, the number one state for corporations. I don't know what Biden's goals are, but he just helped kill more than a million Americans during the pandemic. More people died during Biden's administration.

He actually gave a promotion to the guy who headed up the pandemic response. I judge people by what they do and that tells me that Biden is fine with killing a million Americans as long as it makes his cronies more money.

@Pat

As you've just confirmed, fascism and plutocracy work fine together. That's why oligarchs are pushing us towards fascism.

Biden is from Delaware. Lots of people are. He's not responsible for Delaware being the state that makes it easiest to incorporate. Equating "corporation" with "bad" is the laziest sort of thinking. Well, second laziest: it's even lazier to equate a person with a place they come from.

Biden didn't kill people; Trump did. Trump, in various ways, hampered our defense against Covid.

You are losing touch with reality here.

Got sources on that? Any proof?

@Pat

https://doggett.house.gov/media/blog-post/timeline-trumps-coronavirus-responses

@TruthSandwich

That source says, "Trump's term in office saw over 25 million confirmed coronavirus cases in the United States, over 400,000 of which resulted in death.
January 20, 2021
President-elect Joseph R. Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris are sworn into office."

Nearly a million more Americans died after Biden was sworn in.

What am I missing here?

If a majority of people had began wearing N95s instead of cloth masks at any time during the Biden admin, the epidemic would have been over in a month.

They are BOTH responsible; as well as the media, the CDC, the healthcare industry, big pharma, all of them.

I don't carry water for anybody, so I can see things more clearly. Please reread what I wrote at that link:

If you need more citations, I got 'em. Peer reviewed and well sourced.

No, you're an idiot and I'm blocking you.

@TruthSandwich

I saw that coming from a mile away. lol

(the guy lead me on a very long sucker pull just so he could block me - boy, he put a lot of effort into that one - lol)
