I am not a fan of Joe Biden. As a younger man he was very hawkish. Now as president he is in clear cognitive decline. I'm not sure that he isn't deserving of compassion on those grounds alone.
You use the words "fascist" and "Nazi" with reference to Biden's White House. I have to repeat myself. I don't like him either. And I certainly didn't like that speech and the blood red backdrop. But I have no need to demonise him. This characterisation will not lead to Biden's removal and won't make the world a better place.
Is Biden a "fascist"? I don't know. Perhaps. But I'm not sure that this is why you use that label. You use it in order to garner public opinion to angrily demand his removal from office, aping the voices of his radical opponents. I don't think you actually believe that he is a fascist in the traditional meaning of the word as applied to Hitler and Mussolini. Is he that? I don't think so.
Directing kindness will not change the people you direct it to. But it may change you. For the better. Maybe you would be less bitter and less inclined to anger. Maybe.
