Explain how the alt left thinks repeatedly choosing a natural born *Independent* alienator (who masquerades as a D when convenient) to represent all of *their* socialist hopes and dreams in a Democratic primary but who goes on to become radioactive in the general is a good thing.
Seriously the level of magical thinking and mental gymnastics folk are doing just to evade confrontation and exploration of the simultaneously batshit crazy AND exponentially racially charged political climate we’re ALL facing in the ‘22 midterms is viscerally RIDICULOUS.
While y’all were #onhere making up complete bullshit about what happened in PA, the MSM *AND* GOP were already spinning the narrative of this race around the same “economic anxiety”/White grievance tropes from yesteryear. Case in point, the @nytimes: ImageImageImageImage
Bonus points for everyone who immediately recognizes the above Fetterman narrative as basically the EXACT SAME thing they said about both Bernie and Trump re: appealing to downtrodden “working class voters” who think Democrats are too “professorial”, “elite” and “inauthentic”. ImageImageImageImage
It’s such an insidious narrative because clearly a shit ton of White liberals are either completely incapable of seeing it at all or they see it but refuse to make dire adjustments to their “strategic” plans for the general based on reasoned feedback from the *Democratic base*.
Of course the reason I know they refuse said D base feedback is because I’ve been trying to educate them for going on 7 YEARS and they STILL can’t handle it or make dire adjustments. It’s a pervasive pattern of behavior which is why I have file cabinets of 🌳🧾s on the topic. ImageImage
Always be mindful of the troll fuckery and overall aura of condescension b/c it’s essential for the recipe of these types of clusterfucks. They always accuse the literal MOST RELIABLE Democratic bloc (read Black women) of being dumb as fuck and short sighted. Quintessential Bern. ImageImage
As if somehow WE’RE the ones who aided and abetted the election of fascism. 🙄 Just the insult of the accusation alone should be illustrative of the level of gaslighting we’re contending with here, and NONE of this shit bodes well in the slightest.
Bottom line is it is NOT and NEVER will be Black voters’ job or desire to save White voters from themselves or their impractical votes in primaries or general elections. We couldn’t even if we tried because their impractical ass votes are actually *weapons formed against US*. ImageImageImageImage
“Probably good” according to whom? If you ask *Democrats* of ANY ethnicity (namely @BetoORourke) in Southern/red “racist states” we’ll unequivocally tell you appealing to racists ain’t a good strategy. That would make us Dixiecrats which is 🟰 to, if not *WORSE* than today’s GOP. ImageImageImageImage

The reason it’s an “unwelcome response” is too many people either flat out don’t understand how Congress & impeachment work or they’re outright refusing to hold the GOP majority (and their White peers) accountable for gleefully rubber stamping every ounce of this fascist coup.
I’m gonna keep coming back to this b/c it’s still true. Either y’all are gonna figure out how to pester the GOP into betraying DT or you’re gonna fight like hell to remove *every single Republican from Congress* every fucking chance you get to do so. Get on the right battlefield.
I’m not saying you have to like political reality but if you willfully refuse to acknowledge the basic facts of Congressional math, I can’t take you seriously or see you as an ally in the fight against fascism. If anything, you’re a liability and a stumbling block.

This is why Putin and Project 2025’s architects want Trump in the WH. He’s profoundly ignorant and incurious plus he’s in progressive cognitive decline, so he’s easily manipulated & miseducated. They kiss his ass while deceiving him even further into his delusions.
People keep asking why this iteration is more rapidly disastrous and the answer is his handlers at the first rodeo at least tried to protect him (and the world) from his pathology but this 2nd set is outright exploiting & weaponizing it to further their fascist agenda.
Also it’s preposterous for folk to keep presuming “cooler heads will prevail” in the trade war as if DT’s even capable of logical reasoning or emotional regulation. 😒 Everything he touches turns into an unstable mess b/c he himself is an unstable mess. Connect the damn dots. Image

What if instead of vilifying Democrats as feckless & ignoring the unprecedented Constitutional crisis standing in their way, folk who actually didn’t want fascism dared the American electorate to give Ds a veto-proof Congressional majority/all 3 branches of government FOR ONCE?
Ever notice how you never see them advocating for that but you always see them poisoning the well sufficiently enough to suppress D turnout and catalyze absolute GOP power? 🧐 They perpetuate razor thin margins that render Rs unstoppable and Ds unelectable.
Swap out Manchin for Fetterman (or any other ConservaDem you so choose) and the point still stands. We wouldn’t be living & dying by the White whims of ConservaDems or Rs if they didn’t share a constituency that refuses to elect Ds who are either POC or *reliable White allies*. Image

Trump/DOGE/the GOP are destroying *community resources for education, recreation, employment & healthcare* bc they want MORE social dysfunction & economic chaos. They’re catalyzing a Putinesque oligarchy built on a reinforced American caste system, it ain’t a mystery or surprise. Image
I don’t wanna hear shit else about “Ds not meeting the moment.” Literally the only reason America even has/had all the public services Rs are gleefully destroying is Ds. Y’all insisted on letting perfect be the enemy of good & look at us now, contending with evil every damn day.
Also just b/c you didn’t join the fight until some Bros occupied Wall Street in 2011 doesn’t mean the Black base of the Democratic Party hasn’t been fighting the battle for civil rights AND socioeconomic justice in America since 1619. You didn’t help but now you want moments met.

A lot of folk seem to think that repeating “I support Trump/DOGE/the GOP’s funding cuts b/c there’s too much fraud, waste & abuse in government” makes them sound reasonable and fiscally responsible when really all they’re doing is parroting Southern Strategy dog whistles. 🙃
For context, watch this👇🏾clip. It’s the most commonly executed mental gymnastics routine in these interviews of FAFO MAGAts who still don’t wanna admit they’ve been brainwashed by the GOP (and Fox) into supporting the dismantling of their entire government-dependent livelihood.🤸 Image
Not only is there a shit ton of fraud/waste/abuse in the private sector that they hypocritically pretend is infallible & superior to the public services they divest from (b/c they think it hurts ‘those’ people), *they* end up reliant on those same underfunded public resources.

“New polls show a majority of Americans say he has overstepped his presidential authority — and hasn’t done enough to address high prices.” | via @politico #InstabilityInChief #BuyersRemorse #GOPOverreach politico.com/news/2025/02/2…Image

Much of the reason White “moderates” are so shellshocked about having no quick reprieve from Project 2025 is they’ve historically been able to evade the worst of GOP policy by “swing” voting for divided govt that allows Ds to rescue them from the R trifectas they keep unleashing.
IOW, they create economic chaos by voting GOP in presidential years (to assert their Whiteness) then crawling back to Ds with their tails between their legs at the midterms b/c they desperately need a bailout from GOP austerity/overreach and want their SS, Medicaid & Medicare. 🙃
