I'm going to disagree with my fellow Hexbear above and state that we're not even kicking the can with Biden. The progression towards fascism doesn't pause when a Democrat is in the chair. It continues the same just with different abstractions as the reasoning.

This exact thing happened under Trump. He fired people and kept a tighter inner-circle. If you're really honest you'll find Biden doing a lot of the same stuff Trump did.

It's more like "kicking the can uphill and then the can rolls back down to our feet."
