    Those fascists got some ‘splainin’ to do.

    One can only hope so.

    First off: am European, not American. So this is an outside view and I’m not directly impacted, however US policy both national and international historically has a lot of influence on us.

    It’s kind of refreshing to see Biden take the gloves off against Republicans. They’re fascist clowns that don’t feel bound by any rules and conventions. Their hypocritic calls for unity went out the window as soon as Harris announced her bid for president and they felt like they can’t use the momentum of the assassination attempt anymore.

    The political climate that has been building to the last 10 years - even longer behind the scenes - is unfortunately only possible because the US moderate doesn’t push back against the intolerant. The tolerance paradox in action - but you have to understand that these people lie in your face and argue in bad faith.

    I don’t know Harris and Waltz’ political history well enough to predict how their term will look. However, there needs to be a move to the left. The current issues in the US stem from inequality, both in wealth and in social standing. It needs to be made clear that if you are against a peaceful and just society for all (referring to ethnicity, abilities and identity, but not ideology), you have no place in society. And that’s a long way to go. And don’t stop just because some racists are cops.

    Even though stated as facts, all of these are just my opinion. I hope it makes sense, English is not my mother tongue
