Why Didn't Democrats Do More When They Controlled Both Houses of Legislature, The White House, and The Supreme Court During Obama's First Term?

  • You can just not tip them, you don't have to assume they're out to get you and spread that cynical bs like it's based on anything. It's just virtue signaling with shitty virtues

    Honestly, I worry for the people who are cynical and how they're going to deceive themselves by assuming everyone wants to manipulate and scam them

  • Nah, you definitely seem like you're in full control of your emotions.

    Keep up the good fight against any modicum of self-awareness!

    • CNN's Burnett asks Biden how he is going to turn the economy around. He said he already has.

    Jump

  • Let me try and breakdown my thought.

    If you consider the conditions that led to fascism in Germany before the 2nd world war, you learn that there were significant economic worries that affected the average German.

    When you look at what is leading to fascism in middle/rural America, you will find very similar, significant economic concerns.

    Filmmaker Michael Moore was criticized for saying Trump had a very good chance of winning in rural areas because of how angry and desperate the average American living in those areas is, and yet he was right about Trump's chances of winning and about the reasons why.

    Fascism doesn't spring out of nowhere. There are conditions that make it more likely to spread. Those conditions are greatly affected by domestic policy.

    Lastly, it's worth knowing that famous quote by JFK saying his family didn't experienced any significant struggle during the great depression, which is infamous for being absolutely devastating for many Americans. That disconnect is likely happening again, except this time our leaders are either gaslighting us or are actively unaware of the problem. I'm not sure which is worse, or if it makes a difference.

    • Biden says US won't supply weapons for Israel to attack Rafah, in warning to ally

    Jump

  • You're completely right.

    I think framing the success in terms of awareness raised is likely the best way to demonstrate the impact of a protest/movement.
