It's funny that so many actually believed his BS. All so they could convince themselves they were "the good people". It's just so ridiculous.

They didn't punch us directly. They paid people for that. That's why they are better than everyone. See how they sit above us?
You really start to get all those older writings about the dangers of upper classes cause they really do get apathetic and assume moral superiority just on existence after a while.
Wait when did Biden abuse his powers to prevent fascism?
Currently he's creating a comfy transition for one to become president.
That was the point, he didn't. he used it selfishly for his son. which is understandable. but we're mocking him for it because he didn't use it to do anything useful. Which coincidentally is also why we didn't want to keep him or harris as president.
Ah, thanks!
At this point, of cours ehe should
People will rightfully call him out and then forget about it by tomorrow when trump says something stupid.
Once trump gets in office, no one will ever be able to remember any of this because the shit will be a full never ending flow into a turbine

Yep. There's literally a massive laundry list of BS trump did in 2016.
Biden honestly can do whatever the hell he wants because it'll be completely buried in three months.
Looking at Trumps upcomming cabinet I am both in horror and anticipation for what is going to happen. We'll either see a slow decline of US power, a world war or just nothing great will happen at all.
Im curious why people think this might harm US power and what that would look like
A slow decline of US power would be a good thing for the world lmao. It's a funny thing from the US "left" how supremacist they really are.
I remind my panicking liberal friends that the US only became a "Superpower" within the past 100 years.
So many countries have caught up.
Not only that, he's never running again, he has literally nothing to lose, and doing this isn't going to affect votes/popularity of whoever runs next.
99% of people in his position would do the same.
New York Times gonna blame this when he falls from a building in January
I'll admit it, your meme was a lot nicer about it.
He's retiring and can help his one son. If I were him, I would have said "fuck it." too...
And the people clearly voted overwhelmingly for fascism. So like, why go against the will of the people?
I also would have said fuck it and have Trump and friends sent to guantanamo.
The time to do this would've been immediately after it was discovered that Trump took classified documents and had them in his home during visits from foreign agents.
The Republicans would've howled about it, but I think it could have been done, at that moment. Like, have the first news about it not be talking about the documents, but simply that former President Trump has been detained and will not be allowed to communicate with anyone but his legal representation, because of suspicion of potential coded communication to enemy agents.

Yo, we're in Trump land now, Fascism already won my dudes. Biden is just seeing the writing on the wall and adapting to the change. Trump already pardoned Jared Kushner's criminal dad, so why not pardon your own son now? The game is changed and if you're still holding on to ethical ideals you're a fool. At the very least Biden is making sure they can't chase his son as part of a witch hunt next year.
People voted for Trump or failed to turn out for Kamila, either way everyone now needs to get used to the new norm.
EDIT: The irony of blasting Biden for going against his word in his son's best interest while Trump is about to become president is the most laughable hypocrisy I've ever seen. If this group is actually just a bunch of super leftist and not foreign manipulation then I look forward to watching y'all eat crow as Israel wipes out Palestine, the US leaves NATO, and western democracy collapses.
Not like either side is helping us. Kamala, Democrats, and Joe biden ran the last 4 years quietly and campaigned on no change. They lost the election by not convincing 250k voters in 4 states to not vote for them.
Joe biden pardoning his son is his legacy. Joe said he would be a one term president then tried to run for a second term ruining a primary. Democrats chose Kamala harris and she accepted. This country was founded on old people letting go of power and stepping aside and down. If George Washington wanted to he could have been a king. The old dems are grasping at power and control rather than trusting a populist candidate.
Joe Biden could be abusing his power and fighting for change from the bully pulpit to affect Americans and make an outcry but instead went back in his word twice and pardoned his son abusing his power for selfish gain.
Kamala instead of campaigning to fight hatred and cause change went with joy and changing nothing . She even capituatated to right wing talking points moving Democrats to the right. Even though policy wise leftist policy is good and ppopular policy.
Lastly the democrats ran a Hilary Clinton style campaign being a nerd with stats and defended institutions. Obama won because change Biden won because change.

Wow, the liberals are straight up admitting their monstrous racism now?
the US leaves NATO
This would be good for the Global South, which is why Trump won't do it
and western democracy collapses.
The West hasn't had a workable implementation of Democracy to begin with, though if you finally recognize that are you going to sit out or do something about it?

Not a USAmerican, so not exactly talking about the politics, but some issues.

Why not?
It's not like Trump is supported by the leftists in lemmy.
It just shows them that Biden is not very different from Trump. They have been saying that and pushing for 3rd parties or other President nominees.
Biden chooses to do this rather than set guardrails or do something to ensure that Trump is not given free reign.
This is further validation for their view.
And since Trump becoming president is a grave thing, does it mean that the Democrats are bad, because they have not done enough to stop it?
I look forward to watching y'all eat crow as Israel wipes out Palestine, the US leaves NATO, and western democracy collapses.
Palestine is being wiped out even under Biden.
US leaving Nato would be big, but we can never know how the effects would be like, right?
Yeah it is weird how self righteous liberals react towards being shown over and over that their group is to blame for this shitshow.
But I doubt the US will ever leave NATO without a coup happening in the US. The US would basically lose more than half their geopolitical influence.

I love it how the liberals think "Well Trump did it too!" is some kind of own. America is so comically corrupt it is hard to take their government and the people who support it seriously
