Entirely fair. I say soft-fascism because I think it's still in that transitory stage of erosion of democracy and introduction of fascistic norms to society at large, but I can see the argument for it already being full on fascist. I think it'll get there pretty quickly regardless.

His ego demanded that he cement a legacy for himself, and he did. That legacy is genocide and handing the country over to soft-fascism.

This convinces him that he should run for reelection despite being deeply unpopular and 81 years old. Then he gets forced to drop out because he's obviously too old to run, leaving Harris with 3.5 months to run a presidential campaign. How else was this going to go?

He gets pushed through to the top by the Democratic machine because of lack of options and ends up thinking he's God's gift to the country. It was reported that he thought Dems did well in 2022 because of him and his moderate stance on abortion, not because an individual right had been taken away

If you're into video tutorials, I can't recommend AdamCYounis enough! I recently started learning pixel art and animation myself and the way he explains things and his process really helped me wrap my head around it to get started.

A whole list of other issues too obviously but a lot of this stuff just comes back to Biden, who wasn't performing well in the 2020 primary at all until Obama got the Dem machine to coalesce behind him to deny Bernie

It's a few things. Anti-est sentiment bc of said establishment not doing enough for the working class (Harris losing earners btwn 40k-100k, but winning over those w 100k+) paired with a kneecapped campaign bc Biden wanted a 2nd term at 81 (couldnt differentiate from an unpopular president, etc)

it feels SO MUCH BETTER its honestly wild

the hyperfixation goes crazy what can i say

that turned out really good!!
