I think you might have misread my initial comment in that I didn't say, and don't agree with branding Biden as the "foundations of facism".
I'm not saying Biden, Obama, Bush etc are some kind of proto-facists like that implies. I said "the foundations that allowed America to become a new facist state". I think unless you disagree with me calling Trump's government facist, that the previous governments created an environment in which he could rise to power seems more or less a statement of fact.
If you're interested in understanding where I'm coming from (who knows, we're on the internet after all!) I'd say I mostly agree with Naomi Klein's take that global politics have become too subservient to mega-corportations and that that's creating a decline in equality which is driving far right ideology worldwide.[0]
I'm pretty far into stuff that I wasn't initially trying to comment on though. My point is that the US political system is broken, and blaming people who are disenfranchised at that isn't an effective strategy for changing things.

There's nothing to read or even misread because you are doing mental gymnastics. It's nonsense.
I mean you literally used quotation marks to write words I didn't say, but fine. I assume from your comments that you're progressive and anti-Trump, so keep on pushing for those values!
