No, its really not. We need to beat fascism before we worry about what the democrats were doing 8 years ago..

[-] Ferrous@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

To beat fascism, you need to understand it. To understand fascism, you need to understand how the democrats are not only controlled opposition, but they are complicit.

Tom Homan, Trump's Border Czar, was originally an Obama pick.

In 2015, Obama awarded him a Presidential Rank Award as a Distinguished Executive. The Washington Post article at the time stated, "Thomas Homan deports people. And he's really good at it."

Every single democratic senator just voted to confirm Marco Rubio, and he answered by doing fascism in short order.

You can't get snippy with people rightly calling you out for spewing liberalism as you attempt to refocus attention away from the democrats who enabled this devolution into fascism. The liberal fixation with defending democrats as they usher in fascism is bizarre.

Screw what the Democrats were doing 8 years ago; the problem is what they're doing now and will keep doing. And do you know what they're doing now? Glorifying "law and order," attacking Palestinian solidarity, suppressing leftwing dissent and a whole lot of deliberate nothing. You can't defeat fascism without an alternate vision for the future, and the Democrats neither have one nor will accept you providing one. You can't ally with these people and expect to get things done, but I digress. More importantly, how do you expect to beat fascism without addressing the fascist talking point? When fascists point at you and say "see, they want to keep the RAPISTS and CRIMINALS in our great country," what will you say? "Lalala I can't hear you"?
