So much for “real” free speech I guess. Like that was ever the real goal anyway.
For those of you keeping track, for this week it’s MAGA 5 / “Resistance” 0
It is only half way into year 1 FFS
DNC: Oh no! Our fellow party members have been harassed and killed.
Also DNC: Anyway…
But but but…there “sounding the alarm”. You don’t understand it’s sooooo hard to run candidates someone would really vote for. (sarcasm)
Well Trump won in 2024 so obviously that means the american people want conservative policy. Trump moved right, that means if we run on Trumps 2024 platform, every Republican except the wackos further right than Trump will vote for us! And everyone to their left has to vote for us anyway! W/Elon 2028!
Is this sarcasm a cult of personality doesn’t depend on positions
It is satire of dem logic since Bill Clinton.
Not even kidding, they call it median voter theory, and genuinely believe the best way to win an election is by 1. Promote the furthest right republican candidate. 2. Triangulate the dem candidate’s positions to be 1 iota to the left of the republican.
This is how they justify compromised, means-tested policies instead of universal policies; the ones that provide immediate material improvements to people’s lives are too far left, the ineffective policies that help nobody are more in line with what republican would want the dems to pass.
When this fails, they can only conclude that their policy was too far left.
I honestly think that the Dem’s big tent policy from the Obama administration (remember the Blue Dog Dems?) has caused them to become infected by ‘temporarily embarrassed Republicans’ who have slowly but surely used their money and influence to shift the party rightward.
Think of all those ‘Never Trumpers’, and where they’ve wound up - hell, Kamala was spruiking Liz Cheney!
Australia is going through its own self-destruction of our mainstream right-wing party - but at least they had the good graces to split into their own loose coalition of ‘independents’ (Teals) instead of infecting our Labor party.
It goes back further, Clinton cut welfare and passed draconian, racist anti-drug laws accepting Reagan’s “welfare queens” and “crack babies predisposed to crime” canard the same way Obama built the cages to punish illegal criminal migrants and made healthcare about “skin in the game”, meaning poor paying for health insurance and Harris ran on the most lethal military in history and stopping the migrant invasion.
Undoubtedly; I guess I’m more pointing to the point that I think the ‘neo-liberal’ cancer metastasised within the DNC.
Carrying forward with the analogy, it will take a significant commit through radiotherapy (primary challenges to corpo-Dems), chemotherapy (promoting radical left-wing policies), and surgery (forgoing corporate funding in favour of grass-roots support) in order for the party to survive.
Let’s not forget all the Bad Things™ the Republicans have dealt with this year! They have:
A Republican-funding billionaire throwing a tantrum at Daddy Donny.
A Republican senator arrested for CSAM.
Good American patriots are being targeted and singled out! Woe is them, it’s not fair! /s
Don’t WORRY! Democrats ALREADY have the Fundraising text WRITTEN and READY TO GO for when the NEXT Democrat Politician gets Assassinated!
I’m BEGGING YOU on my KNEES! We need ONE MORE GIFT to FIGHT BACK the CONSERVATIVE AGENDA. We can’t stop TRUMP, his MAGA CRONIES, and the CORRUPT REPUBLICANS without your HELP! Will you STAND WITH BERNIE and DONATE NOW? $20=$560. Select your answer below!
HELL YES: bullshiturl com
NO I DON’T SUPPORT DEMOCRACY: catholicgrandmaguilttrips.com
Aww, not a real site. Bummer.
Hell year one! Hasn’t even been 6 months.
No way the party incapable of doing anything defeated by the party capable of only evil, never would have seen this coming
You’re selling the dems short. They’ve shown theyre capable of facilitating genocide, sending the police to kick the shit out of politically activated college students, the kind who get all their friends to vote, funding ICE, building bigger “migrants overflow facilities”.
Judge arrested
There probably won’t be midterm elections. If there are, it will be with armed ICE agents accosting people in line to vote and making arrests.
Time to play dress-up and vote in your best MAGA outfit. But I’ll warn you–you can’t out MAGA me, I’m Latino, after all. 😂
Believe it or not, straight to an El Salvador death camp
Fuck all the assholes that voted Jill Stein over Palestine or some stupid reason like that. It never was about Palestinians, and these assholes got us here: Hell
You brought all of us here, you deserve nothing
Yeah all those third party voters who if they all voted for Kamala wouldn’t have changed the results of any state are to blame. Not picking unpopular polices, or breaking away from Biden who was a deeply unpopular candidate. It’s the people who had zero impact state and federal level.
Not worth listening to, but big enough to blame. The enemy is weak and strong.
fuck the people that never even bothered to vote at all even though it’s literally the most important thing you can do as a citizen in a democracy
If anti-genocide Americans weren’t significant enough to listen to, they’re not significant enough to blame.
Concepts like that are too logical for the Liberal mind to comprehend
Fuck Joe Biden and team for watching the devolution to fascism happening in real time and deciding to spend their time doing genocide instead of stopping fascism.
I still can’t believe they sat on their fucking hands after Trump’s multiple indictments, and did nothing to prevent the dude from running again after breaking the law 90+ times. What a useless party. All they did was try to look good.
What a useless party. All they did was try to look good.
Be fair. They also sold weapons to netanyahu for genocide.
And fuck all the accelerationists who, instead of telling people to vote for Harris anyway, shouted her sins from the rooftops down at the voters.
Shouting Bidens sins was the only way to get them to run a candidatewho coukd have had a shot. Its the DNCs fault she positioned herself to commit the same sins.
So you’re saying you took a risky gambit hoping the Democrats would improve, and they didn’t, and you got a fascist elected?
Who could have predicted thaaaaaaaaat.
I did not make genocide unpopular, the only way the dems could have won was if they did everything in their power to fight Republicans and improve people’s material conditions and promised even more after the election. The only thing I could do was try to stop them from deluding themselves that they could win with dogshit policy and 4 years of telling their constituents to eat shit while working with Republicans.
I can’t tell if I have a higher opinion of you because I think you could have done better, or if I have a lower opinion of you because you won’t accept you failed. Either way no, you didn’t choose the best strategy you could have.
The only strategy that could have worked was to get the dems to run an electable platform. Telling critics to shut up and vote helps them maintain the delusion the can win with the right messaging or moving further to the right. Nothing I could possibly say to a random potential voter will be as effective as “the dems ar e the reason you have free healthcare”, “the Republicans will restart the genocide in Palestine”, or “remember that time Biden’s AG threw Trump and a dozen republican congressmen in prison for treason?”
For those that are confused, the above comment is an excellent example of propaganda
Is it inaccurate to say Biden/Garland slow rolled arresting Trump?
Propaganda doesn’t have to be inaccurate to be propaganda.
All it needs to do is fulfill an ulterior intent
The old Uncle Sam ‘I want you’ posters weren’t even factual claims but they certainly were propaganda that led to many people signing up that would have otherwise lived.
Propaganda doesn’t have to be inaccurate to be propaganda.
It just has to disagree with your worldview.
You’re right about the few morons that voted Trump who do not share his hatred and bigotry, but remember… most of the country didn’t even vote.
You are scapegoating a tiny minority of people, of only about 0.5%. You are no different than the conservatives, maybe you should consider joining them instead?
Year 1? Fuck is not even been 5 whole months
*This is just year 1/3. There will be eleven times more of this before Trump’s term is (theoretically) over.
thr year is nearly halfway over already so its closer to 1/2
The year is only just starting to get to the halfway mark. It’s only been 4 months and 25 days since inauguration.
Fuuuuuuuck
When you put it like that I get even more depressed
Samesies
Right, you got me there.
Pointing it out, and spreading the message is the first step to getting a critical mass required to affect real change.
Instead of shouting it down, maybe take up the chant.
It is only June 15, so technically it hasn’t even been a full 5 months
So you can see where this is going? What are you going to do about it? What are even realistic options? Perhaps a strongly worded post on X?

Instead of bitching in the same public manner they are informing people on, what’s YOUR resolution…or do you just complain about others
Not from the USA, very simple for me. I would go outside and talk to people what they think. If they are pro Trump, see why that is. Then show them how he is absolutely not doing anything for them, based on quotes of him directly, if possible.
God if only it were that easy. People aren’t joking when they say trump could shit on a republican’s face and they’d still blame Biden/Obama/Minorities
In all seriousness, they are cult. They did not logic themselves into their views, so showing proof does nothing. You pushing back (in ANY way) simply make you one of the “others” they are warned about. Doesn’t matter if you were previously considered family, friend, or stranger. Like literally nothing will get through to the peoples who are still stanning DJT until they themselves get hurt to such a high degree AND have no one else to blame (because if there is anyone else they even think they can blame instead, they absolutely will).
They are conditioned to excuse his behavior at turn even when it makes zero sense and completely verifiable. They do not believe what they can see with their own eyes. Fox and now the mainstream media puts out a ton of propaganda which also contributes. Finally, they truly don’t know how to do scientific research because they don’t respect science (see vaccine deniers, handling of COVID, bird flu, Measels, etc.).
You clearly are not from the US if you think MAGA fuckheads are reasonable.
You haven’t talked to many USians. I don’t blame you.
PS: those who travel are a minority of a minority and tend to be the most well rounded
I appreciate the thought and desire to improve things and a rational response. Unfortumately, we’re not dealing with rational individuals. They will not accept any views contrary to their own no matter how much factual, verifiable evidence you put in front of them.
They will excuse any behavior someone on their side exhibits and will deflect to immidiately talk about something dems did. If they provide a valid example, and you say, “Yes, and that person should also be investigated and punished,” they still won’t admit that their guy did anything wrong.
This is a cult and we aren’t just saying that. So you can’t just talk them out of it. While some of their views may be valid, they often seek extreme measures to enact their views. Even their good ideas are soiled.
I’m totally willing to sit down and have a conversation with a conservative, but I draw the line at blind idolatry.
The thing is, even some people like flat earthers etc. can be brought to reason when you actually listen to them and tell them how they are wrong. There are a few interviews with such people, which is why I think it is always worth talking to people.
Here’s a perfect example of just how indoctrinated these people are from The Daily Show https://youtube.com/shorts/w_Ve3_dwlbs
This made me so mad
Come on over and give it a try genius.
Not from USA
See that’s where you should’ve stopped. You deal with your problems, we’ll deal with ours. Those of us like yours truly who have been talking to conservatives in MAGA country for years don’t really need your input.
This is the kind of american that is pro trump
Great. Now I have to watch that movie.
Highly recommended. A very good film and very apropos to what’s happening right now
