I’ll tip my hat to the new Constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I’ll get on my knees and pray
We don’t get fooled again
Yeah
Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss
Except the “Small government” is even bigger. The only difference is that all the money gets handed to oligarchs. The Republicans have never reduced spending while in power.
This kind of shit is why the right keeps winning. Even the people that oppose them buy into their framing and repeat their lies and propaganda.
Yeah, the fifth panel is the billionaires stuffing their private jets with the cash over the corpse of the big government.
Fucking TSA, 2 decade long wars… Republicans have NEVER reduced spending or increased liberties. It’s all bullshit, but their propaganda machine is simply miles ahead because they have almost zero infighting.
Democrats are constantly bickering, and not about just important stuff. I fully believe there are bad actors purposefully starting arguments about BS they know Democrats will latch on and distract us. And as a bonus make us look like lunatics to anyone not already fully aligned with our ideas.
The right is REALLY good at messaging it’s insane. The culture wars they start have created a “bogeyman” and it’s insane.
I really hate it and how it sticks to the zeitgeist. It just makes me sad.
It’s because the right gets what they want by tearing things down and destroying, and instilling fear. It’s inherently much easier to destroy and scare people than to build and inspire people
