Equating you with an ape is an unfortunate byproduct of opining what immoderate you might be like as a moderator. So that bit, let’s discard it. The payload in my amused mind is imagining you flexing your powers with a mod’s toolset to back you. The forum would never be the same again. ~grin~

some of us have the willpower and sense of self to know we shouldn't be given authority...i'm well aware that i lack the self control to exercise it fairly, so i do not want it.
(proof that i am neither a republican, or related to anyone named trump)

Biden said it out loud in a speech a few days ago. We all knew it before he said it but to have the President of the United States come out and say it. That's different. Let the light of truth purify us.

Biden slams "MAGA Republicans," compares the philosophy to "semi-fascism"

At a campaign rally for Maryland Democrats, he said, "You have to choose. Will we be a country that moves forward or a country that moves backward?"

President Biden called on Democrats Thursday "to vote to literally save democracy once again" - and compared Republican ideology to "semi-fascism" - as he led a kickoff rally and a fundraiser in Maryland 75 days out from the midterm elections.

Addressing an overflow crowd of thousands at Richard Montgomery High School in Rockville, Mr. Biden said, "Your right to choose is on the ballot this year. The Social Security you paid for from the time you had a job is on the ballot. The safety of your kids from gun violence is on the ballot, and it's not hyperbole - the very survival of our planet is on the ballot."

"You have to choose," Mr. Biden added. "Will we be a country that moves forward or a country that moves backward?"

Mr. Biden on Thursday expanded on his effort to paint Republicans as the "ultra-MAGA" party - a reference to former President Donald Trump's "Make America Great Again" campaign slogan - opposing his agenda and embracing conservative ideological proposals as well as Trump's false claims about the 2020 election.

"What we're seeing now is either the beginning or the death knell of an extreme MAGA philosophy," Mr. Biden told donors at the fundraiser. "It's not just Trump, it's the entire philosophy that underpins the - I'm going to say something, it's like semi-fascism."

"I respect conservative Republicans," Mr. Biden said later. "I don't respect these MAGA Republicans."



That's it, folks. He said what we all knew. The MAGA Republican Party has turned away from democracy and toward the violent, backward, authoritarian autocratic ideology of Hitler and Mussolini.

We know this from what Trump read with great interest.

Trump’s Ex-Wife Says He Kept Hitler’s Book of Speeches by Bedside
Donald Trump’s ex-wife in an interview in 1990 said that Trump kept a book of Hitler’s speeches by his bed side.

United States Presidential candidate for 2016, Donald Trump used to sleep with a book of Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler’s speeches by his bedside, his former wife Ivana Trump had said in an interview with Vanity Fair in 1990.

A report by Business Insider, cites an excerpt from the interview where Ivana tells her lawyer Michael Kennedy that Trump reads a book of Hitler’s collected speeches, My New Order and keeps it in a cabinet by his bed.



fascist movements include: nationalism (including racial nationalism), hierarchy and elitism, militarism, masculinity, and quasi-religion. Other aspects of fascism such as its "myth of decadence", anti-egalitarianism and totalitarianism can be seen to originate from these ideas.

There are plenty of examples within the Republican Party and their supporters. And some people who post here fit the bill too.

Facism requires a Biden, I mean a dictator.

so that would make you a "both sides" individual, and a poorly informed one.
if you can look at the records of both trump and Biden, and say they're the same, then you live in a different reality than I do, than most of America does.
If you can look at the track record of the democratic party, and the republican party, and say they're the same, then it just seems like there has to be something wrong with your reasoning process.
there are really only two sides, which is a problem, in itself, but at the moment, you have a leader and a party that tried to overthrow a legal, secure election, that votes against the rights of women, lgbtq people, veterans, minorities, and students, that has loaded the federal courts and the supreme court with hand picked people, all willing to ignore the will of the people, to force the will of the minority on the majority...and whose leader has stolen classified documents, lied about having them, lied again about returning all of them, and now it seems he has even more stashed somewhere, waiting for him to sell to the highest bidder....

and then you have the democrats, who passed the infrastructure bill, the covid relief bill, have started to appoint as many federal judges as they can to counter act the republicans blatant power grab, passed the inflation reduction act, reduced unemployment, and is moving to codify abortion rights, lgbtq rights, clearer, fairer voter rights...

please explain to me how those things are the same?

Sure, you got me right there you armchair shrink. I actually see that both parties work together against US. Figure that shit out, without putting me in some box you imagined. There's one thing I can say for certain, without bloodshed this country will fall. You are the one who seems to be truly poorly informed and grasping for straws here.
