On Bluesky the libs are out of control about eggs. There are endless jokes and memes about them. Libs complain that Kamala lost because idiot voters didn’t vote for her because of the price of eggs was too high.
I remember when “economic anxiety” was a meme among them back in 2016, by saying something like “economic anxiety made this guy racist”. It’s totally not that fascism latches onto economic anxiety.
I suspect that the democrat’s goal for the next election is to draw up the ire for Trump so that they don’t have to change thier donor-friendly rightist platform but still win the election and my inner pessimist says it’s going to work.
Probably will. Let’s be honest, we know Trump isn’t going to fix any actual problems and will in fact make them all worse.
I just hope we can build some sort of leftist movement in that time to explain to people why we can’t just ping pong between these two parties when the current one in power doesn’t fix your problems, because neither will. To fix people’s super short memories.
my new found media literacy is making it clear that all legacy and social media (including .world & .ee) are (hopefully) unaware that they’re pushing propaganda so it’s going to require a culture paradigm shift and that usually takes generations.
I do think the only reason Biden won was that Trump was such a legendary fuckup, the idea of a return to the status quo seemed appealing by comparison.
I mean, in this case they’re right - the question is why didn’t they see that before when everyone always knows people vote based on the economy, and why did they insist everything was okay when clearly it wasn’t to large groups of working-class people? Why didn’t they hammer the causes being corporation price-gouging?
I’ll give her credit that that she said she would make it illegal in a speech or two, like I think in the debate, but that should’ve been her number one point and stump speech in every rally, town hall, commercial, etc (like Bernie’s H4A and 1% stuff). Not the democracy stuff. It should’ve been abortion and that. And it was only after she said things like she wouldn’t do anything different from Biden in interviews.
Bit they don’t want to talk about class. Basically only Bernie and Walz sorta did when he talked about fighting “Big Pharma” but then they basically hid him after the DNC for some reason.

Liberals went from “it’s the economy, stupid” to “you’re stupid if you think it’s the economy”.
Which posits the question to the libs: what were you looking to provide? Antifascism lmaooo?
Liberals think politicians “providing things” is vulgar and uncivilized. For them, politics is all about signaling what kind of person they are.
Yet the same people insist on protecting egg monopolists from communism.
Trumps economy sucked, Biden won even though Biden said nothing will fundamentally change
“I FUCKING LOVE DEMOCRACY”
Bidens economy sucked, Trump won even without any explanation on how he is gonna fix the economy
“I HATE THE MEDIAN VOTER AAAAARGH”
I want to strap these assholes down and make them watch footage from Gaza

Anything to avoid looking inwards…

Yet they don’t like the word ‘treatlerite’.
