      I don’t think the protests would be happening if the current administration wasn’t providing significant assistance in the acts of genocide being perpetrated by Israel. I’m very glad I’m not American, faced with voting for an evil man who has deep connections to genocide to prevent an evil man who will accelerate the course of the country into fascism. I am however a little concerned that my country is on the same continent.

      Sorry but this is exactly the type of polarizing comment that lacks any attempt at nuance required to be useful in real life.

      It has the same value of a squack from a cold french fry eating seagull

        Ah yes, the nuance to arresting thousands of student protestors and introducing legislation that makes it illegal to criticize Israel.

        I know it sounds completely fascist guys but hear me out…

          No, it is completely fascist… And Biden absolutely should eat crow for his part (pretty sure he did not send the police to NY or California)

          However, pretending there is a less fascist alternative on the table in the USA is laughable… Literally the other option is a racists, rapist.

          So, you don’t like fascism? It’s time to take to the streets and paralize the country in a peaceful protest

            Unfortunately Biden does seem bent on serving up the presidency to Trump, yes.

            His inability to distinguish himself from a senial con man trying to dodge 90 something felony convictions is pretty sad.

              Yes, Trump and Biden are the exact same thing … Except the rapist thing and the 90 felonies thing and the promise of dictatorship thing… Just the same

        When one side is peacefully protesting, and get arrested/beaten for it, it’s rarely a good look to tell them they’re the ones that need to calm down.

      One part of not being fascist is having limited power, giving more power to others.

      Also, Trump wants to shoot peaceful protesters. Imagine mentioning fascism and complaining about Trump losing in the same sentence.

      As opposed of a second Trump term? The one that clearly stated he’d kill those who oppose him? Clearly a better choice.

    These numbers about mass arrests at protests just seem so much worse after 1/6 traitors just walked away from storming the capitol.

      Honestly, nothing made me happier than watching our boys in blue wreck those commie bastards. They really should have been more physical. Where was the tear gas?
