Heritage Foundation president celebrates Supreme Court presidential immunity ruling: "We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be" www.mediamatters.org/project-2025...
The problem is that every media outlet is dedicated to horse race controversy bullshit that treats the right as if it's an inevitable and uncontrollable force of nature.
We have 10 articles a day about Biden flubbing the first 15 minutes of a debate, but maybe 1 or 2 total dealing with "black jobs"
And we're all too busy entertaining and even repeating Republican cries of "Biden Must Step Down" to focus on the real issue of Republicans admitting their evil acts in public and the media refusing to cover them with sufficient gravitas.
And yet, no calls in the MSM for the convicted felon Donald Trump to drop out of the race....🤔'
(Well, the Philadelphia Inquirer did, so God bless 'em)
While left-wing anti-Biden outlets have made the totally not surprising choice to ignore the SCOTUS Immunity Decision or Project 2025 completely. Jacobin hasn't done a single thing about the Court's decision to make Trump above the law.
That last paragraph right there. Meanwhile I met up with a friend the other day and the subject of the debate came up and the first thing out of their mouth was "wtf is a black job?" People who heard it are understandably angry, but those who didn't would never find it out about it from the media.
i've been losing my mind over this ever since chris rufo started just openly tweeting out his game plans. and it just didn't matter! people were still somehow falling for it! AAAaaAAaaAaAaAA
They're a cancer in the most literal sense.
They do not trigger the political immune system because they believe that the same people who have always benefited from the status quo should continue to do so.
They only have a problem with anyone who has made gains in the last 200 years.
But have you considered Biden old? Perhaps we need to have the newspapers write and cable TV talk about Biden old! Surely there's nothing else worth talking about!
It’s like on “Pinky and the Brain” when someone sees Brain and asks him what he’s doing and says something like “Actually I’m a lab mouse bent on world domination,” and they just let him go.
It’s called “refuge in audacity,” and fascists love it.
We’re sleep walking into fascism. I wonder if that’s how it’s always worked or if our weird balkanized new media islands have made it possible for people to just choose their own reality.
There’s this weird rationalization that if people are saying awful things publicly that means they don’t really mean them and it’s just performative
Instead of the truth, which is that they say these things because they’re proud of their beliefs and see few risks in telling other people about them
Now that the DOJ is officially the president's revenge squad, who's going to ask the tough questions at press conferences? (Oh, wait, I'm assuming there will still be press conferences.)
In fact I think one of the reasons that they're pushing so hard for all of this is that outside of efforts like these, the GOP would be on the cusp of becoming irrelevant at the national level
The enabling by national media and a disinterested public plus the “all in” strategy ever since Trump’s cured the non in 2016, it’s all the same single push.
not on the cusp even. without the gerrymandering, voter suppression, and electoral college itself, they'd've been irrelevant for a decade or two already. they never win actual simple majorities anymore, both at national and state level.
If an organization says the second US revolution will be bloodless as long as there isn’t resistance, perhaps that should be taken as a serious threat.
It's astonishing the degree to which major conservative leaders close to achieving power are talking openly in the language of tyranny while that fact struggles to get anything close to the attention that is proportionate to what that means.
