Look, I don’t know how much the propaganda has permeated lib leaning normies but if this were how the Biden term started the gop media apparatuses would have upwards of 40 percent of the country believing firmly that senile Biden was crashing planes for fun

Yes. And social media unfortunately rewards the sensation of "being right" much more than it encourages useful political action. Resist the dopamine boosts and keep focused on the future.

i feel like this is evidence for my view that people experience trump through a strong form of ironic detachment. they literally do not perceive him as real.

Lot of truth to this. The public takes cues from politicians who are plugged into what’s going on. Most people want to be low-information voters.

Government’s wins are often invisible: Systems that avoid plane crashes; alliances that avert war; surveillance that prevent pandemics. Government wins are often *the avoidance of loss.* So how do we tell the story of the destruction of government? The story of future losses *not* averted?

They could also raise articles of impeachment under rule IX (and at minimum get a vote on tabling them).

it is kind of funny that the Great Avatar of Conservative Manhood is a fat, fey billionaire from Queens, obsessed with his (lack of) hair and caked in a half inch of makeup, who does nothing but complain about being victimized every waking moment

not really an exaggeration to say that the Musk-Vought agenda is ideologically similar to the Oklahoma City bombing, and likely to have a bigger body count. Tim McVeigh should just have been patient for 30 years and he'd have had an administration job

Purging dissent in the security services and giving loyalists power is something we *instantly* recognize in other contexts.

1. Show up. Go to the places Musk is taking over, bring cameras, demand to find out what's going on and where it breaks the law. 2. Refuse to allow standard business to continue unimpeded. Deny unanimous consent, delay votes, etc. 3. Be public about how illegal all of this is 4. Lay out a plan

If a 19-year-old Canadian who calls himself Big Balls marches into your federal agency and demands access to your system, telling him to fuck right off should be the mildest reaction you have.

Imagine if -prosecutors who brought cases against Hunter Biden were purged -Soros employees took control of govt. payment and personnel systems -Executive order redefined 2nd Amendment by fiat -Every violent crime during a BLM protest was pardoned -People paid Biden millions for favorable treatment

“it’s probably a black person’s fault this bad thing happened” as a reflexive explanation is just a racist statement, there’s not a level of substantiation that makes it not racist bsky.app/profile/pgou...

Bodies are still being pulled from the Potomac. The President and extreme MAGA Republicans are blaming women and people of color for the deadly plane crash. At the same time, they are dismantling the Federal Aviation Administration as we know it. Disgusting.

What idiotic Democratic electeds do not grasp is that you do not capture attention with calm, inside-voice claims or strict message discipline. Both those things make you BORING and easy to ignore, especially in a fragmented media ecosystem
