I don’t understand this mentality. Because liberals will say that Trump will be some all powerful dictator, but at the same time when Biden is in office his hands are tied because the president isn’t actually all powerful. So which is it? Can the president do whatever they want or are they kept on a tight leash?
I get where you are coming from but in this particular case the implications are far worse. This Sabrina person does not even try to convey that the Democrat's hands would be tied.
Hell, she doesn't even appear sorry for it. She basically laughs off the actual genocide (while realizing the Palestinians are fucked regardless) and swears at him, and basically just claims that the other guy (Trump) will fuck them over harder. Typical abuser behavior, and typical lib behavior (of choosing fascism over human decency- this is what her post is).
It's not about what power the president has. The president exists for manufactured consent. If Biden gets in and commits genocide and fails to do anything progressive, it's proof "socialism" can't work, that we consented to genocide, and that democracy works because he didn't overstep his authority. But if Trump gets in and ignores his opponents, does whatever he wants, etc., then we consented to that and are fine with the erosion of democracy if it means more fascism.
It's a farce, and personally I think we're being guided towards a fully fascist transition in the figure of Trump. Not because he, as a person, is anything. He's a moron. But because he's the kind of bigot chud that half the country idolizes, and through them the illusion of democracy can be shed and capitalists can take full power. After all, if more than half the voters support a fascist takeover, then isn't that more or less how our failed model of democracy works?
