@scottlincicome Yep, the right wing media post-truth information bubble that has consumed rural America is made possible by the decline of critical thinking and the adoption of hyperemotional grievance politics. The right wing narrative is powerful, and not even remotely internally consistent.
This. Reasonable people have been so utterly brainwashed that you can point to irrefutable evidence that they are being lied to and every time they respond with some whataboutism or imaginary “yeah but”…
It’s about time the Democratic Party come to terms with the fact that a vast majority of the American public lives in a media environment — from Fox to Twitter to podcasts — that functions as a Republican propaganda machine. Ignoring this reality is no longer a tenable solution.
I keep seeing the argument that Democrats abandoned the white working class, but from a policy perspective most of Biden’s legislative accomplishments benefited the working class.
The sad reality for Dems is that “doing things” simply doesn’t translate into electoral benefits
So when Trump fires all non-partisan career professionals in government, replaces them with radical loyalists within every nook and cranny of the US government, and adds radical judges everywhere.
And every one of you that voted for him finally wake up from your fucked up fantasy just like the folks that woke up after 4 years of the last shit show, only to realize it’s much much worse, and much more permanent, this time.
When the cancer you caused has infected every bit of the American system and it can’t be unwound for a lifetime.
What then?
Do you beg this country for forgiveness for choosing fascism because you were conned into believing your eggs are too expensive because of Joe Biden?
You just put Steve Bannon in charge of American policy.
You just put Michael Flynn in charge of our military.
You just put Alex Jones in charge of media and propaganda.
You just put Stephen Miller in charge of immigration policy.
You just put batshit crazy RFK Jr. in charge of health policy.
You just killed free public education and privatized schools, which you will have to pay for.
You just sealed the deal on a national abortion ban, because you’re demented if you think it’s not coming.
You just radicalized the Supreme Court for a generation.
You just made women less safe and less free.
You just made this country an oligarchy with the billionaires quite literally in charge now.
You just put in office the one person that believes a president is a king, with the fucking Supreme Court ruling to prove it in his back pocket!
You just ushered in Fascism.
Because your cereal costs more.
Congratulations.
@RossKneeDeep Racism, 20 years of right wing disinformation, and financial self-interest by the 0.1% who (wrongly) believe that Trump will preserve their wealth.
@allenholub But also be disciplined about making daily incremental progress such that stakeholders can interact with the latest improvements on their own time, if at all possible. They’ll probably thank you for eliminating that 1h long needless “grand bi-weekly work unveiling ceremony”.
@NestorMndoza Wow, it’s almost as if you think they are interested in disseminating a truthful account or engaging in constructive dialogue. All this would accomplish is to further align the podcast and politcal elites and amplify their disinformation and propaganda efforts.
@JackMonero@Top100Rick Played it many times, both before the late 90’s remodel and after. Fun track. 11 is one of the hardest driving holes ever for me. Absolutely has my number.
IMPORTANT: If you’re turned away at the polls because your name is not on the register, don’t walk away.
Your response [verbatim] should be: “Give me a provisional ballot with a receipt, as required by law.”
Don’t let them steal your vote.
Dear Pennsylvania voters,
EIGHT YEARS AGO Donald Trump promised to bring back steel to Pennsylvania. It was all a lie.
Just like the wall.
Just like health care.
Just like infrastructure.
Donald Trump lied to your face.
Don't fall for it again.
