What the study said was both FOX and MSNBC leave you less informed than more neutral sources like PBS do. That study was 13 years ago. www.businessinsider.com/study-watchi...
Trump lied about Tren de Aragua to push mass deportations. Now heās using the same lies to justify strikes on tiny foreign boats in international waters. Heās laying groundwork for warāand martial law.
91 indictments. Like he shouldāve been convicted 91 times.
Does this even matter anymore if he's deploying the military against the citizens in Illinois?
And also an acknowledgment that many people who want to debate from a right wing perspective (yes even normal people) are not being genuine.
Alright ok. I donāt wanna argue with you, I respect you and I know you are a true progressive who also is practical in winning. Like I just want there to be a recognition that we are in crisis and that some people need to own up to it. Like seriously.
Like I respect you and I think AOC would be a great president. But itās hard, for some at least, to still look at this as āfriendly adversaries who shake hands at the end of the dayākind of politics given what is happening, especially if we turn into Hungary or god forbid Russia.
Like I just need to understand like how people get on in todayās political climate. Where politicians can be so hypocritical and support vile policies and basically admit they are soulless and support facism, but have one decent opinion and itās back to politics as usual.
Iām not saying you support these things. Iāve seen you post. I know you know what is happening. I mean hell Trump just launched a first strike on the ācartelsā. I understand legislation is still happening in localities, but with what is happening at large Iām likeā¦
Because the era we are in is an existential crisis, is it not? Like I get that the concept of that might be a bit much for people to take, but Iām just trying to see how facism is here and people want to act like this is all politics and voting will save us. Iām scared. My friends are scared.
Are we facing dictatorship or not? Is Trump dangerous or not? You think she would stop Trump from sending ice into your community? You agree on this thing, and in exchange, sheāll throw you in the gulag when it suits her. Politicians are corrupt I know, but this is not politics as usual.
And mind you I lost a brother at VT back in 07.
Even if that person supports an anti working president? A anti union president? Like Iām forgoing the crimes and rapes and a dictatorship and all that. Heās trying to destroy voting, whereās her principles? Like thatās saying to me āMTG mocks school shootings but I should work with her anywaysā
I am saying this woman is going to take this quote from you and twist it into āsee even this progressive supports Trumpā I guarantee it. Iāll only debate people who understand what Trump is and policy not vibes. There needs to be a collective soul search or else no lessons will be learned.
A lot of people who voted for this chaos will deny that they did and cover it up and never own up to it ever. You know what that does? It gives them license to do it again if they āfeelā like it. If my neighbor voted Trump (let alone AGAIN) then they want debate over vibes not policy.
This mindset is what is helping to normalize what Trump is doing. Is Trump a dictator criminal who should be held accountable? I would argue she would not agree to that. If the mindset to win is āwe have to live with these people and they sided with a facist so letās meet halfwayā is just idk.
To be fair I donāt know this womanās voting record or her views on Trump, but thatās the point. Having principles and living in truth means you do it unapologetically. And if I hear āI have republican friendsā one more time as an excuse, Iām gonna lose it.
I mean hell thereās Adam kinzinger and Joe Walsh. They have bad voting records but I donāt care about that in this moment. Like I donāt understand people sometimes. āMAGA and republicans are for the most part a facist death cult, but Iāll just focus on local politics and feel safe.
Ok cool. Now ask her if she supports Trump still. Or if she believes the women who accused him of rape. This whole āI work with my enemiesā things is just absurd to me. āWe live in facism and evil, but letās be bipartisanā āIāll have my cake and eat it tooā are we in facism or not?
Soon it wonāt just be ātrans activists.ā Doing these tactics. Ana and Cenks āplanā is rebuild consensusā¦.after it was already built and lives were lost. And now they want to do that again, and take 10-20 years as if they are MLK and Ghandi reborn? F that. Donāt kill anyone, but donāt be silent.
People should never have to be hurt or die to advance a cause. But maybe also look at it from the perspective of we are being treated as subhuman and our rights (along with everyoneās) are being stripped at lightening speed. We live in facism with feckless opposition.
Hurting/harassing people is wrong period. But when you feel like you have no hope of change unless somebody stands up and fights, you expect people to not be human? Was stonewall something that shouldnāt have happened? I want nobody hurt but I will not condemn feelings of the marginalized either.
God fucking dammit
You can call me a human incubator if it means that trans people are treated decently.
When has she ever said that? She mentions it in this clip as a fig leaf to hide behind. She has attacked the community and said ānormal society just doesnāt accept thatā and is saying itās their fault for all the shit against themselves. Again talk to former tyt trans creators.
ā I support trans rights, except in sports, and classrooms, and some public places, and bathrooms, andā¦.
ā¦ā¦she supports trans rights? Youāre kidding right? Talk to former trans contributors on their show who left and have come out with the truth, see what they think. Also if youāre going to get so butthurt over ābirthing personā then go back to middle school and relearn the old rhyme āsticks and stones
So if doing the right thing is taboo in politics now, then why should we trust any politician? Also if her voters would give her death threats for doing the right thing, what does it say about maga voters?
If only ice raids went something a little more like this. youtu.be/wxs2Xi2aQwE?...
Donāt scream Trump in every sentence. Iām saying it is bad having your cake and eating it too, āliving your life with dictatorship in America growing is not sustainable. I work 2 jobs and worry about rent, but worry about facism more. And Iāve seen too many people only care about money/self.
Ok. I understand. But My question is āthose that wanna talk about sports and joke and laugh and pretend that everything is ok, why is it so hard to accept reality? Why? It sucks and I hate it too but itās the truth. If you want truth youāve gotta deal with the truth and address itā
I understand that the world turns still and life still goes on. But Trump is still a number 1 threat or at least in the top 10. If talking about it ātoo muchā means ānormiesā donāt feel welcome, then go to another place. Like seriously, cause we take this seriously and they donāt.
Bluesky has been critical to Democracy Docket's growth and reach. Nate Silver is an idiot.
Could we pop that in the 'plain ignorant' group, or does it deserve a new group? I reckon there are quite a lot of them.
How I escaped MAGA. My personal story. open.substack.com/pub/wintersp...
I didnāt really need more evidence that RFK Jr is nuts and delusional.
White House accuses Kim Kardashian of being āmisinformedā after she called out Trumpās raids She's accused of being 'detached from reality'
Republicans: āStop making everything about race.ā Really? White people enslaved Black people for generations, stole Native land, lynched and segregated us, burned down Black communities that thrived, and treated Mexican land & labor like property to be taken. America already made it about race.
Yeah youāre missing a few things. Call it ājustice populismā if you want. Hold Trump and every one of his cronies accountable for the last 10 years of chaos and rule breaking, no matter what maga screams.
Where is TAX THE RICH???!!!! Where is Nuremberg-style ICE trials? No justice, no peace!
32%. Let's guess the makeup of this group: - the secretly devout -the kinda indifferent folks - the plain ignorant - the crypto and money whores Anyone else?
But some have taken your criticism and say, āIāll go after dems only because Trump being evil is common knowledgeā people need to be spoon fed this every day otherwise their tiny ass attention spans make them forget.
Just because the titanic is sinking doesnāt mean we canāt critics the captain as we all go down. Look Iām all for calling out corporate mage lite sellouts like the leadership and Consultants for their failures and stupidity.
No no you forgot they call some people āunhousedā and they say ātrans people should existā and āabortion is a rightā and āLGBTQIAā and āDemocracy for allā. But no no those are too extreme
#bebest š
So tell me, if I say something like ātrans people are human beings like us who work hard and suffer alongside and are our neighbors and friendsā does that make me an enemy to cause because I speak truth and donāt want anyone hurt? If normies call that an attack, then they arenāt normal or innocent.
What would the GOP power struggle look like if Donald Trump dies?
Ok youāre clearly not hearing me.
Not with facism and rounding up random white people (like immigrants now) but holding leaders and sycophants accountable And making sure history never forgets it. But no thatās facists to hold actual criminals accountable now.
So going after criminals who have ACTUALLY committed crimes is the same as facist going after political enemies over fake crimes? Or standing your ground against facism does require that your FIRE BACK?
What the hell are you talking about? I never simped for BTC PAKMAN or chorus. Iām a Kyle Kulinski guy. Jesus And fuck newsom heās transphobic and Israel bought for sure. Iām not against Zohran at all. But you have to have prosperity AND justice if you want society to move forward the right way.
Iām not interested in dem leadership or newsom. They can go to hell. But what Iām saying is you give someone something to vote for AND against. You can offer a better life AND demand justice all at once. That needs to be the new culture and politics moving forward.
What are you talking about? When did I say go fascit? I said go against facism? Iām not for corporate facism lite. Iām saying be aggressive and hold facists accountable and make it clear they donāt belong in politics society in any sense.
Itās great and I love it and itās making people excited, but trumps facism will rip it away and I donāt see people willing to fight him for it.
Promising to make peopleās lives actually better in the middle of facism without also addressing that little detail is like saying āI will build a stronger ship for allā on the titanic after it hit the iceberg.
Has he not talked about Trump/ICE? Like at all? About his crimes? Also I love the fact that dictatorship/evil/facism is a ānon issueā. And we call ourselves good innocent people is laughable. Thereās a dem centrist think tank that said exactly this and Kyle kulinski said āwhat is wrong with you!ā
Iām of the Kyle kulinski mindset. New trials for everyone in this regime. And bring up trumps trials that were not ādismissed with prejudiceā they can be refiled. I donāt care whose feelings get hurt, who calls for civil war, who says ābut what about me?ā People die without accountability, PERIOD.
Catering to the right is idiotic at best, no matter how many times Cenk says āwe need them to stop genocideā Has it stopped because of MTG? Or Matt Gaetz? heās never considered the many consequences of those ābeer buddiesā sorry but I donāt need to work with someone who spit on my brothers grave.
Changes and charges. Against Trump and everyone involved. You know for his crimes now and before. Idc what people say or think. If you dont hold every criminal politician to account then nobody can be. again Iām sure zohran would say, āwhile we fight for you we must protect democracy as well.
But that is what many are saying in one way or another. Look at Cenk whoās bought by other orgs but claims to be the voice of the left. āLetās just focus on agreed problems (not solutions mind you) and weāll come back to rights/democracy later, letās build consensus as women die and trans are erased
ā¦.Have you not watched him? Like at all? How does he address Trump and maga? What has he called all of this? He actually fights withā¦.dare I sayā¦..FIRE!? Iām not pretending everything is normal and that criminals get to get away with bs anymore. Time for charges and zohran would agree.
And yet this country voted for him out of sheer IDK. Heās a THREAT that has not changed. And Iām not listening to anyone who says we were already occupied and everything has always been bad and this will pass. I donāt need to hear āhereās how democracy was destroyed by XYZā it is not the same.
So what should we fight Trump with? What? And how long will it take to succeed and how much will it cost in money and LIVES will it cost? Things are happening NOW and Iām sick and tired of people saying we should expect to suffer for decades and not do anything to stop it.
Wow this really is just breaking my faith in humanity. Like seriously.
Image caring more about stopping a memorial for people killed in a mass shooting than stopping mass shootings. #Priorities
Who forgot to put into the constitution that a convicted felon cannot hold the office of the president?
Wtf. Did. I. Miss. DID I MISS IT? please tell me i didn't miss it. please tell me i didn't miss it. please tell me i didn't miss it. šæšš¼šŗ #fml šŖ
Show of hands: how many of you have accepted the reality that these MFkrs will NOT be leaving the White House regardless of ANY āelectionā outcome?
ā¦..try again. I think waj believes Trump is a criminal, unlike Rogan who even said āwhen he was indicted I voted for him harderā and if and when is ever back in court, Rogan will call for civil war and his bro listeners will march
Welch: Am American president talks to other American citizens like that, and propagandists come on TV and normalize this behavior. And nothing about this is normal. Nothing
literally all of JUPITER ASCENDING
Todayās update from Weirdo HQ.
Republicans aren't running for office...their polls are dropping...their own base is mocking them and yelling at them at town halls... And yet they seem very comfortable and unbothered. Ask yourselves why?
And a Capital āNā
Wez krumped dem wunce wez do et again #RiseUp
Like I said. They arenāt embarrassed by history, itās their playbook.
Welch: This is a guy who has redecorated the oval Marie Antoinette style and is building himself a ballroom because he has no intention of leaving.
Welch: Everybody's missing the point here. The point is, he's doing this on purpose. He's priming the public to get accustomed to having the military in the streets
Welch: He claims that he's the law and order president. But we all know that's a lie because he's a convicted felon. He pardons convicted felons, he surrounds himself with obsequious people that kiss his all day, every day
Who else believes that right now Trump is planning to shut down all online shows that criticize him along with the late night hosts? (I will say TYT is an exception though. Peter their bought them so they are protected from his wrath and have been chosen to be the approved opposition indie media)
The decision to grant a full military funeral to an individual who participated in the January 6th attack on our Capitol is a disgrace. January 6th was an act of violence and betrayal against our democracy. (1/5)

FUN MAGA FACTS: ā”ļø Donald Trump attempted to get himself invited to Chelsea Clinton's wedding, but failed. ā”ļø Donald Trump was a registered DEMOCRAT until a Black man was elected president in 2008. ā”ļø Donald Trump donated to Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign against this Black man.
I did promise that Republican states that capitulate to Trump's demands to illegally gerrymander their maps will be sued. And history shows I never bluff and usually win. I also said that there are only two types of GOP officials -- proud MAGA and scared MAGA. That is true.
What the hell are you talking about?
Weāll waitā¦š¤
And in red states where all those practices are banned? And how many people are willing to teach? And poll workers are being threatened hourly. For years things have been tried to āworkā within these frameworks, and itās still disenfranchised 10s of millions.
That was the proposal in this post that YOU commented on. So it is actually pertinent since it was the origin of this whole conversation.
People like this think this hasnāt been tried for years now. And people were still disenfranchised.
