Conservatives making “the FBI is trying to stop school board meetings from becoming the next NRA powered mass shooting scene” into “Biden is trying to cancel parents” is quite a feat.
Do folks get that this what this is about? Fox has been pushing this on them for two weeks now.
This is why I preach liberal awareness of Fox so you have some idea what the hell nonsense the leaders of the GOP are telling millions of people
Because Fox News is the intellectual center of conservatism and the Republican Party. When Fox obsesses the party leaders fall in line cause that’s what their voters believe is most important.

This is what “both sides” as practiced by people like Chuck Todd, Brian Stelter, Jake Tapper, after years of right-wing bullying gets us. This is the ultimate endgame.
Weird we aren’t getting more stories about what a drag the former president is on a gubernatorial candidate, meanwhile Mcauliffe has the support of Presidents Biden and Obama and it’s not a problem but a bonus
Mcauliffe went on tv like: Wheee Obama’s coming to campaign for me! Meanwhile Youngkin’s trying to run away from Trump while courting Trumpism
Fox freaked out that Biden and Harris went to CA for Newsom and then Newsom kicked ass and the mainstream press takeaway was that California didn’t count
This is also why democrats kicking the can on gop fascism is bad. Voters don’t think of the party the way activists do and when the President and Speaker and Majority Leader pretend this is just a quibbling dispute that filters out
When Democratic leaders insist they can work with the good republicans it tells voters that the gop is not the threat they are
“Democrats should ignore this thing in the news that they could use to demonstrate their political position and instead be wonks nobody listens to” is such a consistent thing I hear from liberals here. Please try and get this.
People get informed by what’s in the news. Sometimes it’s stupid shit. It doesn’t matter. An effective political movement attaches their message to whatever vehicle they have.
NFL players did more to bring attention to police brutality than years and years of activists and wonks doing important work. The players allowed the activists a vehicle to deliver a message. This is how this works.
