Many of Trump’s proposals for his second term are surprisingly extreme, draconian, and weird, even for him. Here’s a running list of his most unhinged plans.
It’s fair to criticize Biden for not being better than he is but it’s fucking braindead, bordering on parody to suggest that Biden isn’t better than Trump. Only complete morons or people that aren’t paying attention would suggest such a thing, so I’ll just give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you aren’t aware of what Biden has gotten done in his first two years.
I can’t stand that he’s old, he fucked over rail workers, he’s still supporting Israel in their genocidal quest, and he has increased funding for police, but it’s hyperbolic af to say he’s just as fascist as trump, the poster child of American fascism. Dude literally attempted to overthrow democracy to stay in power. “The boss is not going to leave under any circumstances. We are just going to stay in power.”
The Biden administration ended up getting the rail workers the sick days they were fighting for. Maybe it would have happened sooner had a strike taken place, but to say so would be pure speculation. While seemingly heavy handed, his actions prevented a huge logistical nightmare and I’m the end got three results being asked for. I agree with pretty the rest of what you said, but saying he fucked over rail workers is a bit disingenuous.

I’m referring solely to immigration, which is the topic at hand. No one has claimed he is as bad as Trump overall, and I’m not sure how these links are supposed to make me feel better about how he’s actively persecuted immigrants and refugees. I mean, let’s be honest…
Edit: “he’s old” is literally age discrimination. Of all the criticisms of Biden, “he’s old” is not relevant in the least.
I mean, it literally isn’t. Voters can choose any criteria to choose their political candidate.
How is age not relevant? The risk of dementia quintuples from 70s to 80s. The elderly are more susceptible to almost every disease. Not to mention that the presidency is one of the most stressful jobs, just look at the before and after photographs of presidents.
Yikes
I know… Science!!! Absolutely terrifying!
