Hell, Biden has done so much to accelerate it, if anything. Whether fascism comes waving the cross and flag, or waving a rainbow flag and talking about how inclusive it is (just pinkwashing with little to no substance- as with Isn’treal, the Democrats, the occasional PR stunts the US tries in Ukraine like that trans spokesperson or that pride parade, or with “liberals” across the west) at this point I think it’s just a matter of which optics the west decides to embrace in its return to outright fascism.
And I say that as someone who falls under a whole spiel of intersectionalities (trans, POC, technically immigrant, etc) and is a staunch progressive myself- it’s just two different shades of equal barbarism, if anything the latter strikes me as more insidious and disgusting- in a manner comparable to, I imagine, how anti-Zionist Jewish people feel seeing their people’s suffering be twisted into such an abomination that inflicts the same on others.
Yeah, barbarism is looking increasingly likely. Even if Biden wins he won’t do much to stop it, as he has made clear in his current term.
