This is incredibly smart by @ryanhatesthis.bsky.social, a lesson Democrats have to learn fast.

There will be no a-ha moment for the electorate. You can't wait around for people to realize how bad it is if they'll invariably wind up blaming the Reverse Vampires. You just have to fight, right now.

Split the Union

Democrats are dumb when they ask why so and so Dem doing something is a big issue while so and so Republican doing it isn't.

There is no natural set volume of outrage or panic towards any controversial issue, how hard you sell your position to the public determines how inflamed the public gets.

it really is a counsel of despair to state that people are unwilling to think things out for themselves.

Nobody really does, why gloom over a fixed state rather than maneuver around it

WTF are "WEF" & "15 min cities"?

docbun.bsky.social•4 days ago

not sure about WEF but 15 minute cities are like, an urban planning idea that if you live in a city, ideally you should be able to reach necessities within a 15 minute walk of where you live (food, public transport ect) rather than needing to drive to a store
but in this context 1/2

docbun.bsky.social•4 days ago

It somehow it turned into a conspiracy that the government were going to take away your freedom by banning cars and making it so you can't travel more than 15 minutes away... ignoring how inaccessible the US is rn if you can't drive bc your old, disabled, a child, too poor for a car ect

fact-based.bsky.social•4 days ago

Yeah, I couldn't walk around the block in 15 minutes, and we have no public transit here.

derbard.bsky.social•4 days ago

WEF is World Economic Forum; I think that part is a "new world order"-style conspiracy. The "15 minute cities" conspiracy is that walkable neighborhoods are a socialist plot to keep people in contained areas to make surveillance easy.

Thanks! I don't live in a "walkable neighborhood," as there are no sidewalks here. People complain about it constantly, but walk, ride bikes, etc., more than any other place I've lived. 😆
