Biden's america is already fascism for anyone who's queer, black, muslim, or woman. Using trump to threaten these people into submitting to another term of the same isn't going to work.
How is Biden oppressing those groups? We are in this position (bans on healthcare, etc.) because Trump's three SCOTUS picks overturned Roe v Wade and opened the door for all the insane fascist shit going on right now in the Republican controlled states. A majority of people live in Democratic controlled states that have protections for these groups. Things could get so much worse if Trump is given any more power. His first Presidency already set half of the states in the country back over 50 years in terms of women's rights. He's also promised to enforce the Comstock Act which would effectively ban abortion nationwide by preventing medical supplies used for abortion related healthcare to be sent in the mail. Not only that but hate crime rates have also gone up since Trump's first Presidency enabled white supremacists to express their views more openly.
The first part of your post would make sense if Biden just entered politics a few years ago. But hes been in politics for half a century.
Biden has been near or at the helm of US power for about 30 years. He is the face of the 'bipartisan consensus' that got us into this neoliberal hell of forever wars and dictator judges.
I mean, you put the blame overturning Roe entirely on the supreme Court. Do you know how long Biden was on the judiciary committee? He should've resigned in disgrace for how he treated Anita Hill. In hindsight, seeing how Thomas's confirmation was handled should've made it clear that Roe's days were numbered.
