President Biden on Monday said that all Americans must speak up because diversity is being attacked, remarks he made while marking 60 years of the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law.

The event comes just days after a deadly shooting in Jacksonville, Fla., killed three Black Americans, which is suspected to be racially motivated. The president bashed attacks on diversity such as book bans, which are happening in states including Florida and are targeting books about slavery and Black history, among other topics.

“Now is the time for all Americans to speak up when history’s being erased, books are being banned. Did you ever think we’d have this conversation here, at this time?” Biden said in remarks. “Diversity’s being attacked.”

    NO. LIBERALISM/PROGRESSIVISM AND FASCISM ARE NOT THE SAME.

    I can’t believe centrist fence sitting republicans (any historical fascist) keep trying to repeat that garbage for literal centuries.

    The horseshoe political spectrum theory is absolute bullshit and has no bearing in truth.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horseshoe_theory

    Progressives are trying to give people rights and take care of their fellow & future man.

    Conservatives destroy knowledge, strip rights, and don’t care one shit about hypocrisy in the veiled guise of nationalist religiosity.

    You can talk your way around how two people fighting for their beliefs ARE UGH, THE SAME PEOPLE. But the moment you apply any critical thinking to it whatsoever, it falls apart.

    The journey is often just as important as the end. Both sides wishing they could Thanos snap all opposition isn’t some weird gotcha. It’s the human condition of not wanting to go through the bullshit to get there lol.
