100% agree.
Most of my news has been through an active interest on the YouTube. Glad too see such a large turnout, it’s been a wild ride. Pretty scary to watch at times, hard to really tell what the actual consensus is on the ground level.
Good to see people taking action.
Yeah, I find it kinda funny that the “great again” era that is constantly referenced is actually this era of loosing the House and the Senate that is specifically being refrenced now. Mate, you can’t have it both ways; do you want the house and the Senate and the House or do you want it to be “great again?”
Why create the “yeah but” space?. If someone points out that there is a problem with gun violence in America the response should be “yeah, that’s not good, we should try and figure out some sort of solution” not “yeah but we donate the most in foreign aid”.
I’m sincerely not taking the piss. I feel like creating that sort of space is dangerous not only because it avoids accountability but also because it feels nice and its easy to do.
But nothing you said is wrong, I don’t think ill of you, not trying to catch you out, I agree with what you are saying. Was just trying to help you follow the thought you were on to see where it would get you.
Any reason you can think of why that might be the case?
Same feeling I’ve been having.
It’s sort of an odd position that exists right now in the anti Trump world.
I think the cavorting with Putin is definitely problematic but if I spoke about my reasons why it wouldn’t likely resonate with anyone pro-trump.
However, if you point out his “beta” moves it seems to cut a bit deeper or resonate with the folks near the fence and might be more effective at moving the needle.
BUT then you have used “man-o-sphere” language to convince folks and that in and of itself is a dangerous space to occupy or push folks towards.
So then need to consider if the bully language is more of a backpedal or is it worth it to get the result folks are looking for.
It’s just a whole lot of unpleasant and hasn’t even hit upon the host of other troubling problems that are happening or looming.
It’s bad in a way that makes me feel like we won’t see any reform untill there is massive upheaval.
So not sure if trying to call out/downvoting the fellow raging against the machine is the real solution but if it works for you I’m glad.
Not ment to be a criticism of your post, just wanted to type out the thought, I don’t usually post but find writing stuff out helps me cope/think through the ick.
