      Liberals are more ideological aligned with Trump than leftists. Both Biden and Harris’ campaigns were supporting genocide and making Trump term 1 bipartisan (“Actually, we fill out the paperwork and are more competent. So if you hate immigrants, you should vote Democrat because we will build the Wall faster and have ICE working more efficiently”). The centrists equivocation of the Left and fascists is just the equivalent of saying “Both the left and the right got mad at me shitting my pants in the middle of the room. So they must both be the same!”

        No more disingenuous than saying liberals enable fascists because they didnt remove law enforcement when they were in power.

          It isn’t that they didn’t “Completely remove law enforcement” or whatever. But that even when they run on these expansions of state violence and repression being bad, they immediately walk that back, make it bipartisan and even expand this very authoritarian repression apparatuses, like Obama running on opposition of Bush era anti-terrorism and opposition to ICE, but then expanding and empowering both once in power.
