Here's the thing you don't get: the people who do this sort of thing don't give a shit about Palestinian kids or minorities or not gunning people down at the border, what they care about is the performance lending the appearance of power against tHe EsTaBlIsHmEnT.
Considering the context of this conversation, are you accusing me (who is a minority in several ways targeted by Conservatives) of not actually giving a shit about these people? That's a pretty mean thing to say, and you don't really back that up- you just make a claim.
You created a person in your head to attack, frankly. You keep saying you are super anti-fascist and understand fascism while asking that others bow down to the status quo that is actively creating fascism, and the party that is/was actively funding some of the other side's candidates because they think fascists will be easier to beat in the election than more moderate Conservatives (https: //www.wsj.com/articles/democrats-primary-season-fund-conservative-advertsing-illinois-colorado-11655326924?mod=trending_now_opn_2).
You said I don't understand fascism but you don't seem to get that Liberalism and civility politics as an ideology has very few ways to actually combat fascism because it's ineffective, and its policies will always breed discontent. Discontent that it will always be easier to blame on minorities, always make an in-group/out-group, define people as "societal ills". The Democratic Party as is already participates in a lot of this discourse such as finding the homeless yucky, playing into myths about how immigrants are bad for the economy, and bombing foreigners. (Also, cough cough, hatred of actual socialists and communists is also another trait of fascism but we like to ignore that in America!)
Fascism is not that complicated. The point is to find groups of people, an in-group that is disenfranchised, and the out-group, and then say that if we get rid of them then society will propser. Give us the power to do that and we will. Let it fester, make people get a real "ick" from them, see them as disgusting burdens on society.
Liberalism doesn't have a counter for it because individualism and capitalism doesn't really allow it. They will continue to disenfranchise people, including the groups that have been promised success (like white guys), and then people will point the finger- either cynically, like Fascist leaders, or without real understanding. The Dems do not only not really have a counter to this, but as I just said, actively participates in this culture with certain groups, and also as of late has a pretty bad track record with policing and protesting! Neat. Also supporting the Tiktok bill which is pretty explicitly sparked by the pro-Palestinian posting on it, which even establishment figures like Mitt Romney has suggested (https:// youtu.be/V92PzA6eEyM?).
The Democratic Party is often happy to spout compromise with the Fascists as long as they are "civil" and are not loud like Donald Trump. Joe Biden has said his news source is Morning Joe (https ://www.axios.com/2024/02/02/biden-obsession-morning-joe-msnbc-media), which is basically just liberal Fox News; with almost indistinguishable lines about protestors (
) example, homeless people, policing, etc.
Stop doubling down on the idea that the only reason people would hate the Democratic Party is performative "I'm an anarchist on Twitter" like you think, and not "They suck and are actively the other half marching us towards fascism, bomb babies in the Middle East, and are actively awful."
You cannot be a "radical" without understanding that the Democratic Party is as instrumental to the rise of fascism in America as the Republican Party, and if you study Neo-Nazis as you say, you should understand this.
You should still vote for Biden because he's still a better candidate in the short-term, but you should do it with full knowledge that this will do absolutely literally nothing to stop the rise of fascism, maybe slightly delay it.
