The second it was over the RW propaganda machine went to work, rehabilitating Trump, casting his presidency as a kind of Eden that was only briefly interrupted by the pesky virus, which wasn't his fault. That's basically the public understanding now! - ThreadSky

The difference, surely, is that it’s way easier to make up lies in soundbites than it is to tell the complexities of the truth

For 8 years I’ve been saying he GOP is a party built on lies. It really annoyed me reading ‘24 postmortems that didn’t start with the lies.

There is, as I've said so many times, no comparable machine on the left. There was no one, no institution, that took it upon itself to ensure that Americans remembered what a f'ing horror it all was. Whose job is that? No one's. Dems are "moving on." Media is chasing new shiny objects.

And so no one remembers. And the horror of it all happening in the first place was compounded by the horror of forgetting it all and then *doing it again*.

My wife and I vividly remember Trump 1 David, but our time and donations are insufficient to fight the RW money/comms machines. We have been a plutocracy for some time, but now they seem to be tired of the democratic trappings. What a shame, I thought the trappings would last a bit longer.

There's no reason to think that whole cycle won't happen again. If everyone just stays in their lane, does their default thing, it *will* happen again. Already so much has vanished. Remember how Vance went to Germany & told them to be nice to nazis? You probably don't. It was *last week*.

We have relatively little power to fight back -- they control all the major levers of power. But this time, unlike last time, I hope we at least *remember*.

Apropos, whatever's going on here:

Did it make it to the wayback machine?

I can say that even trying to help people remember stuff on a local level is tough. People forget important things that happened *last year.*

However if someone wanted they could probably compile a lot of it by simply going through the internet. Combing through from News articles, Tweets, FB, Instagram posts etc.

I remember he bombed another Country out of the blue & enacted a Muslim ban right off the bat

Ozymandias, he said.
I am the great one. People tremble in fear at the very sound of my name.

every day is like a month, its hard to keep up. Which is the point they are trying to make. They wont be able to keep up soon, they have no focus or long term plan.

@whatthefuckjusthappenedtoday.com does a bit of that.

This seems to part of the weird thing in the US whereby whatever party is not in power doesn't seem to have any structures or responsibilities - no Shadow Cabinet, for example; no party leader. Who would be in charge of making this kind of thing happen?

If you like a post, you should repost it.

mikehypercube.bsky.social•1 day ago

Good reminder - thanks.

I do like a lot of things in passing that I don't repost, but this thread was definitely deserving of a wider audience.

HIRE PETE BUTTIGIEG TO GIVE A DAILY PRESS CONFERENCE ON THAT DAY'S TRUMP, MUSK,
GOP ATROCITIES. MEDIA WILL COVER HIM.

The lesson in all this is that people who want human suffering not to be in vain and who want truth to matter have to work at least as hard and as savvily as the fascists who are toiling relentlessly to moot truth and meaning.
