Our media and politics are tuned to a certain status-quo frequency so that people can spend years watching an authoritarian threat build and boil over and then just continue arrogantly dismissing it.

It’s almost like it has to do with money and privilege and power.

You’ll notice that almost every single pundit and writer dismissing the threat of Right Wing extremism is calling for moderate proposals.

There’s a reason. They have no interest in troubling in their own positions and even less interest in risking their wealth.

These pundits are desperate to believe the GOP can be saved because they want to maintain the neoliberal economic consensus that has served them, and probably their families, well.

And so they’ll continue to peddle false hope and moderate policy. All of which got us here.

Again. The Republican Party isn’t a party anymore. It’s a public relations front for the wealthy that serves as a rallying point for a growing neofascist, authoritarian movement.

These pundits are delusional or complicit or both.

Honestly the best thing you can do with these pundits, op ed writers, and cable show guests is ignore them. They’re not serious. They have the ears of policymakers who can’t make policy. They’re an echo of the past neoliberal order and all they’ve got is more of the same garbage

You have a choice of what to consume. You don’t have to listen to these delusional, neoliberals anymore than you have to listen to Right Wing trolls. You don’t have to read their tweets or articles or watch their shows. Hate-consuming is the same to them. Turn it off.

By retweeting or replying with nonserious people on here, people still enamored with delusional bipartisanship or neoliberal nonsense, you’re still giving them impressions.

They use that to build audiences, sign book contracts, and continue to litter the public arena with this.
