To provide a convenient excuse to vote for a guy who’s philosophy they don’t want to admit they support - Trumpism. Biden’s never been an extreme lefty, but all the sudden he’s gonna allow a bunch of first or second term liberal congressional reps take total control. Although he just beat them convincingly in the primaries. In spite of his obvious campaign weaknesses. Because the dem party nationally rejected its far left flank in the primaries.

The repub party on the other hand is now its extreme right flank. It is in some ways quite socialist, it ran up deficits during the latter stages of an historically long expansion, and it has actually mainstreamed pure conspiracy theories like QANON. Biden defeated his far left flank. Trump is Q. Q is the administration.

So I agree with concerns about the authoritarian flanks of both parties. The dems could swing that way. But the repubs already have.

Keep America Great. Smh. Speaking for all those who want an end to Trumpistan, please do use that slogan. Looking at our management of this crisis and saying “keep America great” is the best democrat campaign slogan imaginable. This is why Biden really should sit in his basement and let the repubs do his campaigning for him.
