Agree 💯. When will we bring forward the experts in fascism like Dr Ruth Ben-Ghiat, Timothy Snyder & others. We need their guidance desperately.

Not complaining is tantamount to compliance

The information was out there they chose to be ignorant for one of the most important elections. They chose a fool!

Brazil banned Twitter for a couple of months. Maybe they were onto something.

That’s true. We watched our own LGBTQ friends also vote Republican. Their comments exposed themselves as racist, loyal to party, and misinformed. There was no way they would change their minds. And it wasn’t just 1, it was 4 or 5 in our circle. Eye opening I’ll tell ya.

This was not our experience. Most of our friends are married women and they’re devastated and very scared and upset.

More of this kind of analysis.

BINGO!

Democrats are horrible at communicating accomplishments, exposing lies and pushing back.

sonotwithtrump.bsky.social•105 days ago

Exactly! But at the same time, when you have sipped the cult koolaid it's very difficult to give it up

I agree .. most of the vice president’s policies were geared towards low income voters … especially the first time home buyers assistance… they chose ..

They chose caste

And some chose to "protest" because the candidate could not give them 💯 percent of what they wanted about their preferential issue, by voting for someone who will give them exactly 💯 percent nothing.

Or else they grumped and stayed home, saying it didn't matter and wouldn't effect them.

michaeljstern.bsky.social•105 days ago

Exactly.

I've never been lazy, just busy raising a family & running a business. Too busy to follow politics. Information in those days was like fast food, quick & easy. Have unions, as an example, put forth enough effort to inform members that 45 is anti-union? It seems to be a revelation to some, too late.

Yes. I’m tired of the whining and misinformation of what the Dems did wrong. A vast majority of white America are white supremacists, misogynist and spitefully mean.

Let’s cast stones where they’re deserved, at the billionaire oligarchs who buy legacy media, social media, and put their thumbs on the scale to influence the most susceptible among us.

michaeljstern.bsky.social•105 days ago

We can cast stones in multiple directions at the same time. I've cast stones at the press - which I've worked for - and at the billionaires who misused their platforms.

But in the end, people had a vote and many voted against their self-interest for awful reasons.

I guess this will be a teachable moment. Too bad 85 million had to die for the last one. And this time, I don't expect the dead to be so much casualties of war as victims of the environmental devastation that will follow the roll back of what little we have in place to mitigate climate change.

And msm, who has been in a downlow relationship with trump for decades!
Decades!
