After Biden beat Trump in the 2020 election, his campaign was touted as the most progressive in American history, with the first Black and Asian vice president and myriad policies purportedly aimed at helping minority communities. And while "most progressive US president" is a bit like "least racist uncle" at Thanksgiving, given the shockingly high rate of war crimes the US government commits, does Biden actually deserve this reputation? Unsurprisingly, no, as a lot of things still continue to happen under the Biden administration ...
5Biden’s Administration Is Defending Trump In His Sexual Assault Case
Joe Biden himself is no stranger to controversy. His presidential win was met with a lot of friction from many groups, like #MeToo activists, for good reason. A man with sexual assault allegations is probably not the best suited for understanding women's rights issues—much less qualified for president—but that apparently hasn't stopped the Biden administration from doing so, as they've gone on to do the thing Biden's campaign attacked Trump for in the primaries: defend him in his sexual assault lawsuit.

We're talking about the suit from E. Jean Carroll. Yeah, we know, it's impossible to remember them all.
Trump's allegations run decades back but came to widespread prominence during his 2016 run for president, in which many women came forward and accused him of sexually harassing and/or assaulting them. Obviously, being the great country that America is, we collectively decided that this wasn't an issue and made him president anyway. Trump's allegations didn't get significant headway until a defamation case in 2019 was run against him, which continued well into Biden's own administration. Any reasonably minded person might conclude that Biden, being the 'most progressive president of all time,' might choose not to defend Trump at all in this case. Well, you'd be more wrong than Trump supporters were on November 7th.
See, not only is Biden not going against Trump in his defamation case, his administration is wholeheartedly trying to defend him. Biden's Department of Justice team's reasoning is that because Trump was the president of the United States, he made those statements against his accuser in his capacity as president, so his actions were a part of the office.
For a man whose entire campaign ran on "I'm not Trump," he is making sure that Trump gets out of The White House with a clean, unscathed record. Given that Biden has his own sexual assault allegations, maybe it's a case of people in glass (white) houses not throwing stones.
4Labeling Left-Wing Groups As Terrorists
Among the other more idiotic things that came out of the Donald's mouth, his campaign was riddled with a lot of anti-leftist rhetoric. Donald went so far as to get some groups such as Antifa labeled as terrorism, which kind of reveals what kind of presidency/state you're running when it is targeting people who literally oppose fascism as enemies of itself. Some leftists saw an opportunity with Trump's term ending to see more legitimacy in their movement, now that a fascist wasn't in charge anymore.
What they got instead was ... basically more of the same misguided anti-leftist rhetoric under Joe Biden. Recently, a training document for the US military was revealed to have categories for different kinds of terrorists. The document asks trainees to classify types of terrorists, asking what ideological category "anarchists, socialists and neo-nazis" represent. The correct answer, according to the test: "political terrorists."

Y'know, to distinguish them from all those apolitical terrorists.
You've already seen the idea that Antifa or socialists are a threat to American Democracy from the right when they blamed "lawless anarchists and Antifa" for starting the Capitol Hill riot. Yet Democrats like Biden are perfectly fine with similarly associating Antifa with violence.
Biden talks a big game about wanting to stamp out terrorism, but maybe he should check out his own administration first and make sure he's not saying the same stuff his so-called 'political enemies' are. Especially for a dude whose campaign slogan was 'I beat socialism.'

3Mistreating Immigrants And Immigration Activists
There's no question that Trump ran one of the most anti-immigrant/racist campaigns in modern US history. From "bad hombres" to "build the wall" to allegedly telling border patrol to gun down immigrants, the four years under Trump's regime were not at all a good time for immigration and set back many pro-immigrant policies set into place prior ... even though Trump apparently loved white immigrants, just not 'dangerous' brown ones.
US House
"Why are so many immigrants foreigners? Why don't we have more immigrants from Portland?"
So when Biden took office, a bunch of immigrant advocates welcomed his administration with open arms, hoping that maybe this one white president won't be like the many other white presidents before him. As you guessed it, they were quite wrong, as Biden is not only ramping up a lot of the anti-immigration policies/rhetoric established by Trump but is also flat out allowing law enforcement to be hostile to them.
One key anti-immigration policy enacted by Trump was Title 42 of the Public Health Safety Act, which states that the US government can basically deny entrance into the country on the basis of "public health safety," such as the Coronavirus pandemic. When Biden took office, he did not dismantle it at all, basically continuing to keep immigrants out like the world's most racist game of Pong. A lot of immigration advocates and health experts are basically up in arms about this, saying that there's no real scientific reason behind it, and it is fueled almost entirely by xenophobia. And given the US's history with racism against Mexico, we didn't need a scientist to figure that one out.

Set up a test and vaccine site at the border. It'll be the safest place in Texas.
On top of that, border patrol has been recorded using a rotor wash on immigration activists, which is basically when a helicopter flies low to the ground and sends dirt, dust, and debris flying at crowds to clear them out -- a tactic straight out of something like The Hunger Games.
And the cherry on top of this racist sundae is that Vice President Kamala Harris told immigrants to "not come" on her trip to Guatemala that was supposed to be about bringing America and Guatemala closer together. Guess their idea of bringing them together means putting families in camps. At least they won't be separated.
