Summary
Itās time to reengage with politics as Trump prepares to take office again.
Unlike 2017, Trump now has a more compliant establishment, streamlined strategies, and influential allies like Musk, Zuckerberg, and Bezos.
Concerns include his administrationās potential for sweeping authoritarian measures, such as Project 2025, and media normalization of his actions.
Vigilance is necessary to counter efforts to dismantle democratic institutions.
Fucking wild to me that, even when abandoning Palestine didnāt work and the post mortem showed it definitely hurt Harrisā turnout, libs are still doubling down on it and kicking the people affected by it in the face.
But hey, maybe āshut up the
rich peopleās yacht fundeconomy is fineā will resonate more in 2028.Libs really arenāt doubling down on it. The people who have infiltrated the libs to keep the focus on smashing the democrats are focusing on it, as a distraction, so the United States crumbles and dies.
Basically, the āwokeā have been tricked into eating themselves, which is what we all though would happen to the right wingā¦ but it turns out they are more strategic than we thought.
Maybe you think Iām one of those. I think the Democratic Party is a spent force, and we should be organizing from the grass roots like Occupy and BLM, and like groups outside the US such as Podemos in Spain. Or we can instead spend our effort trying to overcome the inertia of the dead hand of the DNC. But I think that has as much likelihood of success as reanimating a long-buried corpse.
I think the left is just dead. Sadly.
When a topic is obviously at best zero sum ( trumpās position on Palestine will not improve thier lives/survival), itās baffling that people arenāt ready to address crowning Mr anti abortion, anti immigrant, territorial annexer, foreign authoritarian appeaser, felon.
People clearly said āmeh the raids wonāt come for meā, and never functionally cared about Palestine at all. It was performative. They will have zero advocacy lane with trump, where as Harris was minimal, but existing.
No one gets to protest trumpās inauguration or actions if they didnāt take the functional steps to avoid him. if they did, see you there.
Yeah, my wifeās Palestinian, so Iām well-attuned to hypocritical expressions of support. Those knobheads never really gave a shit about the people of Gaza, it was all another Republican-driven learned-helplessness narrative that Democrats had to be perfect in every regard, but Trump could be an evil piece of shit with no consequences.
Very well put
Whenever people do get out and protest, there are others proposing rules about how they are allowed to do it. Be careful not to be one of those people.
Palestine is less than 1% of an issue
You think thatās what decided the election youāre delusional
