Trump hanging his supporters in DC out to dry in favor of an exclusive inauguration where only his inner circle and top donors can attend is the perfect metaphor for this administration and today’s GOP.

the fact that the right has no trouble all rowing in the same direction is super morbidly fascinating

It seems perfectly natural. Adherence to rules or the social herd is their thing.

Let’s face it, for all their bleating, individualism isn’t a value they demonstrate much.

sophienotemily.bsky.social•75 days ago

they're only "individualist" when it absolves them from caring about anyone else.

notsurprised24.bsky.social•75 days ago

So why isn’t the left building such infrastructure??

katestarbird.bsky.social•75 days ago

They’ve been relying upon the mainstream media?

notsurprised24.bsky.social•75 days ago

Well, that’s a mistake.

Instead what will happen is 10,000 people saying "why aren't the Dems talking about this" while not realizing that the problem is there's no channel to put it. There's literally more channels to put the message that the Dems are screwing up messaging than the message itself.

newjeffct.bsky.social•74 days ago

I've been saying that for a while now - it doesn't matter how loudly Dems shout it out & which words they use, if nobody is putting their words on the air somewhere, will anybody even know?

mikecaulfield.bsky.social•75 days ago

Media-wise the Dems are a sort of meta-party. There is more messaging about messaging than channels to actually message.

jlray.bsky.social•75 days ago

You've got 30,000 followers and you're replying to an account with 60,000 followers! Those are both damn impressive! You can both be the messenger you wish to see!

I disagree. The channels are there. They don’t want to do what’s necessary to take them.

Bernie is the only democrat with any idea how to reach out to people on social media platforms. His videos pull in millions of views, he goes on podcasts and actually says stuff that resonates. Kamala, who's probably half his age, failed to do ANYTHING like that

Kamala won more votes than Bernie did in Vermont.

poprygozhin.bsky.social•75 days ago

Doesnt remotely diminish my point of him successfully engaging with social media ten times better than any regular democrat

kat86.bsky.social•75 days ago

😂😂😂 He’s ghosting his MAGA base and hanging out with the elites he says he despises - what a hypocrite

🎯 Run the ads quickly during the NFL playoffs and on certain channels. So frustrating.

Also TikTok being banned means the fastest meme generating youth content isn’t being made this weekend

kegill.bsky.social•75 days ago

Also fastest spreading fake memes aka propaganda.

altiam.bsky.social•74 days ago

Information flow really shapes the narrative!

kegill.bsky.social•75 days ago

I initially scanned and my brain processed “information architecture.” 😂

And absolutely. I despair.

chrisedelson.bsky.social•75 days ago

it's like the final scene in Animal Farm

zandervelli.bsky.social•75 days ago

I don’t think he wants the ones that are inside with him to even see the ones he has left out in the cold

danlooker.bsky.social•75 days ago

Aww, you're assuming his supporters support him because they lack accurate info?

First you need to admit your problem before you can begin to recover.
