It’s mind numbing to me. Genuinely incomprehensible. I am not exaggerating when I say I have lost all respect for my home country and fellow Americans.
When people don’t protect their privacy, their data will automatically be used for tailor made ads, posts and videos. We believe anything if packaged right.
The Facebook–Cambridge Analytica data scandal was just the start.
Protests don’t mean anything, and strikes just get played as ‘The Left doesn’t care if you get to your job.’
Back in the 1970’s a guy named Jerry Falwell created the Moral Majority. They had a simple tactic that worked really well. Any time there was a GOP event the MMs would show up with more people. If there had been twenty people in the room the last time the local GOP chose a county clerk, the MMs would be there with fifty.
The primaries are two years away. Find a good candidate for the House and get to work.
Uprisings of the past happened because people faced starvation and dying of poverty because they had nothing. Their options were … uprise … or die.
As long as people have food, any amount of food (even if it’s not enough or bad quality) people won’t uprise.
As long as everyone still has a sliver of hope to be able to eat and survive, even if it’s just a sliver, chances are they won’t uprise. Things have to get terribly worse and bleak before people will uprise.
Otherwise, people will continue to live in squalor and put up with everything so long as they can eat something … anything.
I keep seeing people posting that there’s a giant uprising just over the horizon.
It didn’t happen when Ford pardoned Nixon.
It didn’t happen when Reagan started killing the unions.
It didn’t happen when Bush lied us into the War on Terror.
It didn’t happen when Trump was letting armed gangs of Nazis kill people in the streets.
Stop acting like there’s a big Left majority out there waiting to emerge.
Fight smarter.
It’s probably a lone wolf that takes one for the team and quadrocops the turd. One can hope
Campaign is over, Donny doesn’t need to appear in public anymore, and even then Vance would literally be worse.
Just a spinless little policy dork who was completely on board with 2025.
You forgot “It didn’t happen when Bush stole the 2000 election.”
Indeed.
Doesn’t look like a majority at all, in fact. Trump is on track to win the pop vote as well.
I’m a native New Yorker.
I got to watch him go from local joke to national menace.
I have had a decade of this, and I still can’t wrap my mind around the fact that anyone could look at that creature and see anything but garbage.

I can’t upvote you enough.
Churchill was wrong about America 🤷♂️
he was helped out by years of billionaire media support. There’s a strong argument to be made that billionaires bought this election.
Literally out in the open, in the case of Musk.
I’m of a similar mind but worse, I supported him in 2016! But man as I’ve grown up I’ve realized how insane he is and how fucked we are.

Yep. We should strike, we should protest, but we have to stop pretending a majority of americans are on our side.
The majority have been hypnotically brainwashed in a manner characteristic of facism.
So… We’re only doing democracy when it benefits us? Isn’t that what we’re fighting against? I’m confused.
Democracy is how you pick your leaders. It’s not the only tool you use to defend your rights and civil liberties.
We should accept the election results obviously.
But we also need to strike and put pressure on the Trump admin whenever they try to change something for the worst, which is often.
Protests don’t mean anything, and strikes just get played as ‘The Left doesn’t care if you get to your job.’

There will never be a modern day uprising.

See, you think the fascists will still feed people.
It’s never leftists popping off, is it? Not in living memory anyway. We’re getting what we fought for - jack shit.
Like I said, we have to fight smarter.
The next election is in two years. All the House and a third of the Senate are on the table.
“Let’s cozy up to moderate Republicans even harder!”
LOL what next election
“in four years, you don’t have to vote again. We’ll have it fixed so good, you’re not gonna have to vote.”
I want you to be right…
