Re: Planet America

Looks like Trump is determined to have it his way, learned some lessons from his first time around. His three most controversial cabinet level selections, Gaetz for attorney general, Hegseth for secretary of defense, and Gabbard for director of national intelligence, just happen to cover the three ...

Re: Planet America

I wonder what The Onion is going to do with it, though. I'm guessing that The Onion is a parody of a real news site. The new Onion-owned inforwars will be a parody of a paranoid insane news sites. Although, those sorts of sites kind of parody themselves. As long as it's funny, I don't really care. I...

Re: Planet America

I proably missed a couple. That they all add up to being ¨woke" and that Democrats care more about being ¨woke¨ than caring about the working person. Does that explain why Harris got about ten million votes fewer than Biden did in 2020 (while Trump got virtually the same number as he did in 20...

Re: Planet America

Meadmaker is doing his part to normalize a strawmanned version of the word nearly the opposite of the original meaning of the word. All done in the interest of political propaganda, in an appeal to a certain minority of voters. That some voters have been successfully manipulated into actually belie...

Re: Planet America

Wokeness is a propaganda creation almost entirely manufactured by the right wing sphere. It took me a while to figure out a response, because I've seen it said before. People on the left say it doesn't really exist, but people on the right talk about it constantly, and when they do, they describe D...

Re: Planet America

Harris probably lost more votes over Gaza than wokeness. Gaze IS wokeness. What I mean by that is that after the October 7 attacks, suddenly the video screen was full protestors. Anti-semitism became a thing again. "From the river to the sea!" they chanted on campuses across the country. ...

Re: Planet America

This, today at Axios, also tells a message about your trans comments earlier - clearly people did see it as an election issue, which is truly bizarre. https://www.axios.com/2024/11/10/democrats-working-class-voters-trump swing voters' top reason for not choosing Harris was a belief that she was &qu...

Re: Planet America

That's 100% true. Good piece here: https://newrepublic.com/post/188197/trump-media-information-landscape-fox There is much truth there, but I think there are also a couple of failings. For example, there's this quote: And that is why Donald Trump won. Indeed, the right-wing media is why he exists i...

Re: trump off the CO ballot

In understanding the election, you can't ignore that Donald Trump lied about the last election, and there were millions of people who believed the lies, or who didn't care enough about them to influence their votes.

For that, I have no explanation. I don't get it, either.

Re: trump off the CO ballot

You know, I understand how he was able to win the first time, but given his record, how the fuck did he get back? If you want to understand that, you have to listen to the people who voted for him, or who pushed his candidacy, unfiltered by a media who opposes him. Listen to talk radio. Listen to t...
