So fascism has been defeated?
It had been stalled. If we were able to stall long enough for Trump to kick the bucket, I would have called that a win
It was stalled, but then Biden and the rest of the Democrats squandered that opportunity to actually solve the problem. Instead, they delusionally chained themselves to behavioral norms that were dead and gone and kept trying to prop up the neoliberal status quo, while doing pretty much nothing effective to fix the working class' problems (i.e. the disaffection that led to the fascist demagogue's success in the first place).
I guess it’s gonna have to get worse before it gets better
Careful now, you'll get downvotes in this thread if you don't focus exclusively on blaming the voters for it getting worse. Admitting that it might get better afterwards is like admitting that the Democrats might be somewhat responsibile for their electoral failures.
