The United States exterminated Native Americans and currently is a systemically racist country that murders its dissidents - see Kent State and Ferguson. It also has the largest prison population in the world.

They support him because they feel abandoned by the American economy and want him to return us to how things previously were - wherein a working class family could actually afford a house and pay for college and take an annual vacation.

Not that Trump will do any of those things, and it's foolish to believe he will. But the rage and desire to destroy the American political system is very understandable.

Socialism is the better option, but people over 50 are brainwashed against that. So fascism it is. "The bourgeoisie are their own gravediggers", etc

it'd be on the corporations deciding to change narrative independently, not being forced to by the government.

That is incredibly naive

Socialism would be if the inhaler companies were democracies that were owned by everyone who worked there, rather than dictatorships owned by a CEO.

This isn't socialism. It's social democracy, and arguably simply social liberalism

Do you think you're good at being persuasive?

Israel bombed Rafah and Biden did nothing.

Biden has consistently given Israel all of the military aid it asks for. The "pause" lasted only a few days. And then Israel bombed Rafah

There will not be a permanent ceasefire. This is purely optics to make it look like Biden is doing something. And will be used to blame Hamas and justify additional murder when the negotiations inevitably collapse. It is only for optics

The Republicans are identical to the Dems in terms of policy on the Gazan Genocide. The Dems just use softer language when they exterminate Gazans than the Republicans would.

I don't care what language is used. I don't care about aesthetics. I care about stopping the United States and Israel's extermination of the Gazans. Biden needs to do that, and to enact systemic regime change in Israel to prevent this from ever happening again

The only attacks on minorities that I've observed on here are attacks on those who think Gazans should not experience genocide.

Plenty of people on here who simp for the American ruling class though

It's not conservatives. Conservatives aren't on Lemmy.

It's the majority of Democrats who now believe Israel is committing genocide. And who can't afford housing or groceries

Biden is not trying to slow the genocide down. He is funding it and arming it.

He is better than Trump on every other issue. There is no difference here on the issue of genocide
