Love the act, hate the agent?

The Iraq invasion.

I don’t know about immediately post 9/11 but in 2003/4 there was a lot of ill will towards Americans in Europe.

The Onion/InfoWars?

It’s amazing how frequently white supremacists take the ahistorical route to justify their beliefs.

Effectively addressed? Like the housing crisis and the visibly homeless?

So long as she can keep trading on insider information I seriously doubt that she cares.

Just you…

…and millions others.

A bad campaign is a bad campaign.

Native and African Americans have been telling you this for centuries. Welcome to the truth.

Lemmy users have been repeating the same bullshit.

The pandemic wasn’t that long ago, that experience settled any debate as to how ill informed the average citizen is. Most of the people voting are actively working against their own interests. There is a minority who benefit from the bad policy, the majority inevitably suffer. That has been the state of affairs since (at least) the Reagan era.

We increasingly live in social silos, if you are not a Trumper you will not know about the frequency of the messaging or even its nature most of the time. Like it or not Trump’s words speak to the average American, his speeches align with the explicitly nationalistic, racist and generally hateful nonsense that most of them have been drip fed over the course of their lives via media, religion and education. It brings them a sense of comfort.

You grossly overestimate how intelligent/informed the average American voter is. I really don’t think they know what they’ve done, are doing or what is being done to them.

They are willing to kill you to maintain the status quo. If you are not willing to do the same then you have already lost.

I knew it was bad when the DNC started browbeating Black men. Meanwhile in the real world white and Latino voters are the ones who came out in support of Trump.

You think those people actually read the Bible?

It’s easier to talk down to Black men than to hold white women to account.

It doesn’t and they know it doesn’t because they never speak to or about female voters in this manner.

The last time Trump was elected a significant chunk of the white female electorate sided with him. I’d look there before talking about men, especially Black men who seem to be the preferred scapegoat.

Isn’t this why we have the second amendment…
