Biden’s D-Day Speech Nailed the Threat of Modern Fascism
Biden’s D-Day Speech Nailed the Threat of Modern Fascism
Speaking on sacred ground in Normandy, the president correctly drew parallels between America’s enemies in World War II and the threats we face domestically and globally today.
With these words Biden addressed the bitter irony that haunted the commemoration ceremonies. While D-Day occurred eight decades ago, America is now just five months from an election that could bring to power a man and a movement who embody and celebrate the twisted authoritarian values of the enemies we sought to defeat so long ago.
Fascism has not gone away. The tactics of the Nazis to employ racism and demagoguery to divide society and enable their seizure of power and their gutting of democratic institutions currently are the playbook of Donald Trump and the MAGA movement.
This is exactly my largest concern with Trump’s plans for foreign policy:
Some of those were the members of the GOP MAGA alliance that for months blocked aid to Russia and who have made—much like those who opposed U.S. involvement in the Second World War—“America First” their rallying cry. To them, Biden said, “Isolation was not the answer 80 years ago and is not the answer today.”
Russia has been committing genocide in Ukraine by abducting over 700,000 Ukrainian children, placed in foster care to be raised as Russians. Trump told Viktor Orbán, the autocratic PM of Hungary, that he would not give a penny to Ukraine if he takes office again.
Pulling support from Taiwan and the Philippines, in the Taiwan Strait and South China Sea, would result in immediate control of their imports by China and Russia.
Trump supports Israel in total eradication of Palestinians and suggests they stop recording and reporting the atrocities.
He previously repealed a law on Israeli settlements on Palestinian territory that Biden has since reinstated. Netanyahu was so grateful that he named a settlement after Trump in Golan Heights.
Trump plans to give Putin, Xi, and Netanyahu the freedom to take what they want under the guise of isolationism.
51More of the college crowd needs to see this and really think about their “protest vote” in November. It can and will get much much worse if we don’t vote for Biden.
Do I want a better Democratic candidate? Of course. I also realize that Joe is leagues better than Trump, despite any deficiencies

Kind of hard for him to be taken seriously talking about ending fascism while actively supporting Israel which was founded by open fascists.
14"The cost of the defeat of tyranny, is paid by the blood of the young and brave."
True then, true now.
10While supporting Nazi style Genocide of the Palestinians.
Irony levels are peaking
-3Everything it's just going according to the plan..
-6Sounds like projection. Accuse others, rightfully so, of the crimes yourself are committing.
-27He can't nail the threat of sleepiness during meetings with world leaders, and you think he made some kind of profound political statement by calling conservatives and Trump nazis for the 10000000th time since he took office? The standards for the demonrats keep getting lower and lower.
-40Congratulations, you're defending a convicted felon and a rapist.
10Six day old account and your only comments so far are trolling... nothing of value to see here, folks.

genocide-supporting Biden is the face of modern fascism. What's more fascist than sending weapons to Israel?
-42Killing your political opponents, removing all rights from women and minorities, creating re-education camps, sending the U.S. military into Gaza to commit additional war crimes...
Like if you can't comprehend how Trump could be worse, you're simply not a real person. They've published their wishlist, you can read their plans for America if Trump wins, they're not pretty.
