Sorry that some of us don't want to live under a fascist regime?

Or do you prefer "Sorry that some of us are willing to recognize when the current administration does something right, especially when 99% of the useful idiots swarming every post are some variant of 'Not Trump isn't enough, what has the Biden administration actually DONE for us?'"

Not wanting trump doesn't mean everyone needs to praise Biden for something that you have to add 10 qualifiers to, to make it seem like it is impressive. Nor do they have to like Biden or his policies. Also, false dilemma?

They do have to. First they ridicule anyone who is horrified by Biden's full throated support of genocide as "single issue voters", and point out that maybe Biden sucks, but Trump would be way worse. If you say you're not sure how to favorably compare one genocidaire to another, then they switch to loving Biden and pointing out a padded list of things he's done.

We are living under a fascist regime.

You can tell because when you call it a "fascist regime" they immediately disappear you into a reeducation camp (if they don't kill you first).

Ever heard of Julian Assange? Chelsea Manning? Martin Luther King? There are consequences to speaking out.
