"Lefties": It's Biden Or Dictator Don

The left’s anger at Joe Biden is striking for a lot of reasons: its sudden rise to prominence, ferocity, short-sightedness, faddish immaturity, overtones of anti-semitism, and lack of historical perspective.

A reminder is in order: You may despise Biden, but Trump would likely order severe punishment or even death to protesters; deportation of Muslims; more and deadlier weapons for Israel; and the closure of media that doesn’t toe his party’s line.

Couldn’t happen?  Ask the four students killed at Kent State, the Black Panthers, or any Civil Rights protester in Mississippi.  Ask Alexei Navalny or Pussy Riot.  Or “counter revolutionaries” in China or the Soviet Union.  Or dissenting voices in Turkey and Hungary.

Or gays or Fatah members in Gaza.

Authoritarian regimes limit freedom and stifle dissent.  Unless you buy into the MAGA delusion that Biden is a Nazi, you know that he’s a middle-of-the-road Democrat who wants a two-state solution and supports peaceful protest in America.

Biden won’t ever agree to demands to exterminate the Jewish state.  But a Palestinian state is at least a possibility with him as President.  Social justice is possible. Prosperity and equality are possible.  Greater freedom for all is possible.

Ready to give up a woman’s reproductive rights?  Gay rights?  Voting rights?  Freedom of speech?  Equality?  Equity?  They’re all on the line this year.

In 1968 the left helped make Richard Nixon president.  In Germany the left helped make Adolf Hitler dictator.

You’re young.  Do you really want to limit your future and that of Trump?  Keep trying to destroy Biden.  Those tattoos you love to flaunt?

You may not enjoy them as much when you’re herded into a Trump-branded concentration camp.

It’s your choice.  A choice you’ll only have with Biden’s re-election.
