Take a breath. Obama drone-struck and killed more than one American citizen. Biden's rhetoric against his political opponents was no less "fascist" than Trump's. Do you find yourself nostalgic for the civility of the McCain-era Republicans? He was called a Nazi by his detractors, as well.

Trump doesn't hold a candle to FDR when it comes to being an authoritarian.


So now you’re going to list times when Biden sent armed forces into American cities, withheld funds passed by Congress, personally extorted companies to give him money and targeted conservative “non woke organizations” or spread propaganda on government websites…

Let’s not forget you also need to list times that he fired DAs for not going after his “enemies” and installed his personal attorney with no courtroom experience.

Or when he told a private company - in this case Microsoft - to fire someone he didn’t like. https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/5528090-trump-d...

Can you point to any speeches that Biden gave, that talk about sending troops to republican majority cities?

He holds a lighthouse.

>that talk about sending troops to republican majority cities

not that specifically but he did actually threaten to use nuclear weapons against american citizens. although FWIW it looks to me more like a manifestation of his advanced-stage alzheimer's than an intentional threat.

FDR is the one who illegally imprisoned 120k ethnically-japanese people (including at least 80k US citizens) in concentration camps solely on the basis of a hypothesized loyalty to the country their ancestors came from.

> not that specifically but he did actually threaten to use nuclear weapons against american citizens. although FWIW it looks to me more like a manifestation of his advanced-stage alzheimer's than an intentional threat.

The video showed he said people who wish to use arms against the government need F-15s and may need nuclear weapons. And versions of this claim are common from all ages.

Okay I was trying to be charitable there but the point is that he threatened to deploy nuclear weapons against people who don't comply with gun control legislation. If he actually meant to say that then that would make him look worse not better.
Trump does a dozen FDRs a day, going by the news that's coming out.

I find it so funny the mental gymnastics people do to justify his actions, especially with whataboutisms.

Sure maybe FDR was bad. Right now trump is bad, and that should be addressed.

>Trump does a dozen FDRs a day, going by the news that's coming out.

well in that case it should be easy to cite of them......
