Yes, or alternatively if Biden gets elected, yes

How would reelecting Biden achieve that? As in, it being his fault or someone else’s?

It wouldn’t make a difference, same like how it doesn’t make a difference now. I can only really respond directly to the question by acknowledging how it’s framed, but I don’t think it’s really the right question. I don’t think the potential for Christo-fascism to take over is a function of the upcoming presidential election. You think if I put “no, and also no” then I’d have gotten upvotes instead?

Nobody’s talking about the question or what you should’ve answered–I’m talking about your answer above. I’m asking you, how would electing BIden again lead to a Christofascist state? What’s the mechanism?

Both sides are not the same. If you’re not voting Biden you are voting for chaos. Full stop.

As fun as chaos sounds, I definitely am not voting for that death cheeto they call Trump.

Removed for trolling? Seemed like a pretty appropriate response to me…

thought Christo-fascism already took over

Catholic Genocidal Silent Joe is president and the last fours years have gotten us more militarized police forces and the fall of Roe v. Wade

people that are not white and married to Jesus are being targeted and forests razed for a cop city training ground

You do understand that Biden had nothing to do with RvW, and the problem is the right-wing Supreme Court? He also has no control over what states and local governments do with their police force or law enforcement.

If you’re going to be angry, be angry at reality. Not some fiction you made up because it’s easier than the truth.

It’s probably written by AI and just mixing the wrong talking points.

Edit: On further review, it seems he’s just an idiot, in the truest sense of the word.

I’m starting to think more and more that the whole “Genocide Joe” thing is a Russian troll farm running through left-leaning social media to spread doing and suppress votes. They conveniently attack Joe Biden’s initial relative silence, ignore the last few weeks including the State of the Union which was very strongly pro-Palestine, and even further ignore Donald “finish the job” Trump’s violent anti-Palestine stance which would be actively genocidal.

Don’t listen to these maniacs. They’re not voters. They’re trolls.

Just a minor point; the federal government subsidizes a lot of military equipment for local law enforcement.

You know those big heavy armored trucks for swat? Federal money.

It already looks like a christofascist state to those of us that don’t live there.

But, like, I don’t live there so maybe I’m wrong. I’ve been there lots but I’m not exactly speaking from direct experience.

currently it’s a loud and powerful minority that may pull us into civil war.

Loud minority with some of us speaking up and the rest being sort of stunned/beaten into silence.

I always wondered as a kid how fascists like the Nazis came to power in other countries. Living through this timeline in the US since 2016 had shed a lot of light on that. I truly think only 10-20% of the population is actually unchained enough to want Christofascism (maybe even less), but it seems like the other 80-90% of people don’t want to put forward the effort to oppose it. I think most people want to “mind their own business” to a fault. It’s led to what you see from the outside.

20% is a lot. 20% is enough to make it a reality. 1 in 5 people in a country supporting christofascism is wild to me.

That’s actually a really good point.

For what it’s worth I think most of them are isolated to insular towns in more rural areas. It’s almost like they’re disconnected from reality (literally and figuratively)
