With these words Biden addressed the bitter irony that haunted the commemoration ceremonies. While D-Day occurred eight decades ago, America is now just five months from an election that could bring to power a man and a movement who embody and celebrate the twisted authoritarian values of the enemies we sought to defeat so long ago.

Fascism has not gone away. The tactics of the Nazis to employ racism and demagoguery to divide society and enable their seizure of power and their gutting of democratic institutions currently are the playbook of Donald Trump and the MAGA movement.

    Killing your political opponents, removing all rights from women and minorities, creating re-education camps, sending the U.S. military into Gaza to commit additional war crimes…

    Like if you can’t comprehend how Trump could be worse, you’re simply not a real person. They’ve published their wishlist, you can read their plans for America if Trump wins, they’re not pretty.
