π― Bingo! Because it's not about the underlying fact-patterns. The objective is SOLELY the cultivated mass-mania to be harvested for political power.
Did you see The Truman Show deploy the same against Obama? Biden?
Don't turn away from the obvious. It's right before your eyes.
How did the absolutely insane racial-mania explosion of 2020 happen? How did the masses get to that level of foaming-at-the-mouth rabidness... which conveniently became "vote DNC or you're racist!"? π‘ How bout that! π
I want to show everyone what "Hatecraft" as policy looks like. Check this out...
Out of the blue one day, the MSM announces that "The Science" has proven a prong of the Progress agenda as morally righteous. In this case, climate and gas stoves as bad. Not just bad: unhealthy!
Because it went from The Science to The Health, this means a "Safety Agency" (Executive fiat, of course, because the No Kings!-analysis can never apply when The Science has issued a decree in its favor) is now entitled (you could say obligated) to ban them and end the "fear".π΅βπ«π
The Moral announces what superior people they are. π΅βπ«π
Once again, Atlantic Derek paints his convenient position. One that always shines light where he needs it to and avoids major underlying issues entirely. I couldn't QT this because Rob Henderson blocked me within months of me coming here.
As is often the case unless it's worthless trash (which this is not), I encourage you to read the post in full and do so before hearing my own thoughts. I want you to be the arbitrator. I've never required shell games or smoke and mirrors. derekthompson.org/p/all-the-sad-β¦
Let me set the article's components on the table one at a time and let's look at them.
First, it speaks only to males. Derek Thompson is a male embodiment of feminism, so this is no surprise. He is end-stage Smash The Patriarchy where everything wrong with the world is male.π΅βπ«π
What an excellent description of the wicked engine of Repressive Tolerance. βοΈπ
This Saul Alinsky doctrine of how to cultivate domestic radicalism for Marxist revolution (Equity) is what both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama studied in college. Hillary did her thesis on it.π
Those are the new saints for the demographic that turned Our Father into Patrarichy. π§ββοΈβοΈπ¦
What is the state of this political platform right now? I'm not talking about "far-left" and terms that can be ignored; I mean the party of "median Democrats".π
If at first you don't succeed, try and try again! π΅βπ«βοΈ
The camp that spent most of our adult lives selling the notion that "identity politics" was not a thing and only a "Fox News talking point" for racists, no longer understands a political landscape without them. This is chips all-in, Thelma and Louise off the cliff kind of shit! And understand, this isn't Steven Collinson. It's one of their top Political Analysts. π If this is your understanding of our "fault lines", man, are you screwed! ππ§π§ββοΈπ§ββοΈ
It's worth reading the entire piece, but I want to dissect this propaganda messaging and lay its components on the table. Just watch how lost this shit is, by design. π¬π΅βπ«π The singularity within MSM and Progress spheres is stunning.
The script here is to avoid the collapse of the Equity revolution, dodge the cultural issues entirely, and try and reframe both 2024 and the next cycles as solely being driven by economic factors. We're basically back to "That's not happening". π
"Few strategists in either party believe the cooling toward Trump means Democrats have erased their long-term problems with these voter groups, which have generally drifted toward the GOP since the end of Barack Obamaβs presidency. But the rapid erosion of Trumpβs standing with them does suggest that their movement toward him in 2024 was driven less by a durable rightward shift on cultural issues than by immediate discontent with their economic situation. And that means that rather than solidifying as part of the GOP coalition, many of these voters likely will remain up for grabs if Trump canβt improve their finances any more than President Joe Biden did."
And, as always, our legacy news rolls out their team of "experts" to prove to their clapping-seal base that everything they say is still The Science and The Moral (dissent therefore still Hate and The Monster; end of democracy against the Moral Majority π). It was never true.
And who do they roll out as The Latino Whisperer here? This guy, one of the founders of The Lincoln Project... a "defense of democracy" organization. π΅βπ«ππ§ββοΈπ§π§ββοΈ
"He is also a co-founder of The Lincoln Project, a pro-democracy organization dedicated to the preservation, protection, and defense of democracy."
