    get used to it, it’s only going to get worse from here on out, as if that seems impossible, it isn’t. now that trump has been re-elected, there’s no surprise this time around, and after he was rightly targeted in criminal probes these last 4 years, he’s going to take the gloves off, and come for owners, producers, and journalists of anything he deems disloyal. what we thought we were sure of about the united states and how it should operate is quickly coming to an end. this is what fascism means.

      A depressing take that I 100% share but wish I didn’t.

      The only way I’m going to be able to deal with this bullshit is to tune out or numb myself to it in some way

    It’s almost as if corporate media is biased towards corporations over workers 🤔

      This is why the right (and the Enlightened Centrists ™ ) get so flummoxed if you ask them just where IS this supposed “liberal media” I hear so much about?

      It definitely is not ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN, New York Times, Washington Post, NPR, PBS…

        Yeah, it is. Liberal ≠ Left wing

        Neoliberalism (which is the kind of liberalism practiced in the US) is a center right to right wing ideology.

        Just because something is to the left of literal fascism doesn’t mean it’s left of center.

    Remember the right-wing frenzy over “Rich Men North of Richmond”?

    Oliver Anthony almost immediately clarified that Trump and Republicans were *also" the people he was talking about…

    This is the danger of Dems moving “to the right”. They’re doing it on topics that lots of rural voters already hate that Republicans do.

    The only people happy with the Dems move to the right is wealthy donors. It doesn’t gain any ground with voters, just normalizes the shitty stuff republicans do and gives more credence to one of the most common reasons eligible voters don’t vote:

    Who am I supposed to vote for? The Republican who’s blasting me in the ass or the Democrat who’s blasting me in the ass?

        I mean, Democrats for sure are a problem, especially when they try to compete with Republicans by copying Republicans. But let’s not use ableist slurs, yeah?
