That's part of the attack. It's intended to destroy hope
Already feels bad, like the Trump years did, when there was no way to escape knowing horrible new things multiple times a day

Unfortunately, as is now being borne out daily, Democratic Party officials and journalism outlets did not spend so much as a single moment actually listening to the warnings of disinformation experts and researchers of the far right

it's particularly disheartening watching the major news outlets respond to authoritarianism by shifting the editorial overton window rightward because they were scared by a few civil rights protests and a fairly miniscule shift of power toward labor during covid

They're just as dumb and reactionary and racist as I had always thought

much worse than I ever thought, and I spent my entire 20s and 30s being a fairly cynical bastard

Can you not with "dumb" though? Because ableism. "Ignorant" is the better word that doesn't denigrate disabled people.

It’s Disability Pride Month and people are still using ableist language to describe people and things they don’t like. With zero internal examination about why they equate intellectual disability with being bad. 🤗

Yes. You're right. This is my weak spot, I keep forgetting and doing it, thank you and much appreciated

Everyone agape at the lopsided pro-Trump angles and horserace seemingly to framing everything major outlets report because paying attention to news, journalism jobs, or fact-finding seem like liberal proclivities. Even if true, at the end of the day, the outlets are still owned by billionaires.

the skeerdy cat reaction against people protesting police freely murdering has been discussed, but I don't see much recognition at all the white hot rage that burned on the right, for the super-rich, and the reactionary 'small bidness' class from the moment we helped workers early pandemic

allowing the public the grace to work from home, and the data proving it's generally a good thing for productivity and morale, drove a large segment of the extraction class positively insane

that but I mean the very basics of us very momentarily treating workers' health & incomes as important and worthy of respect & assistance the small bidness a**holes I had b*tch & moan in front of me of how we were paying undeserving bums not to work (but yeah we'll take that PP money sure)

yeah corporatist oligarchies pretending to be democracies really don't like it when you genuinely help the plebs they're also really pissed because there's been a fractional boost in efforts on antitrust reform by the Biden FTC

Not just $: message, culture, appearance, ideology. These a**holes spend their whole lives, whether truly super rich or local jerka** small owner, convincing themselves they are the heroes & masters of all and to suggest the peasant bums who work for them are good and important is deeply enraging.
