There’s a blind side in America when it comes to acknowledging the primary role of racism and white supremacy that drives Trump’s base and the right-wing ecosystem
The only “blind side” that I’ve observed since Trump entered politics is from journalists and media corporations that continuously bend over backwards to give him the benefit of the doubt, while doing literally the opposite for people on the other side of the spectrum like Sanders or AOC.
It’s class warfare and the media is entirely on the oligarchy side.
You’re not wrong.
You’re right!
Same. Even those who vote for him and his like and then disingenuously claim ignorance of racism and bigotry will actually acknowledge it behind closed doors and say it’s “strategic”.
Which is the dumbest shit I’ve heard.
It’s not dumb, it’s their goal. They want genocide and to turn the U.S. into a white supremacist shithole.
I mean, that goal sounds pretty dumb to me. So that’s where I’m coming from as it being the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard.
It’s like these people never emotionally matured past toddlers.
I think it’s telling that Chuck Todd called Sanders supporters “brownshirts” but didn’t say anything close to that about the January 6 insurrectionists.
That’s because Republicans played the long con.
They pretended to Champion fairness for so long, claimed that they were being unfairly discriminated against and that the media how do liberal bias. The result is that is now the media is too afraid to criticize the right for fearing that the liberal media stick will be used to hit them again.
It was never about ensuring an equal dialogue, it was about coming up with a standard where no matter what the right wing does, whatever the Democrats do has to be as good or as bad, regardless of what it is.
That’s how you get “both sides are the same!” Nonsense
Oh but haven’t you heard? Right wing views are always silenced! /s
As usual, it’s all projection 🙃

When Donald Trump - the undisputed Republican frontrunner - is running to be president to avoid jail time and general responsibility for his crimes, you know this country is in trouble.
Wait, is it still 2016?
That year is just a slow burner
Worse, it’s 2020.
Politics in America is basically just like everything else. It’s just a brand people adhere to regardless of who works there. It’s the fast food of government.
If you like McDonalds better than Burger King, that’s where you’re gonna go. You don’t care who the manager of the McDonalds is. It doesn’t impact your decision.
That’s American politics now.

Starting with a test on basic constitutional rights would be a start. It’ll be nice if politicians actually know basic 5th grade material like this.
Then we can move on to other tests to weed out the old and decrepit. Memory test. Drivers test. If they can walk a mile.
And lastly a test asking them basic things. For example: How much does a sandwich cost? If they say $0.50 or $600 dollars, we know they’re not fit.
I mean it’s one banana, Michael. What could it cost, $10?
The problem isn’t that they don’t know things. It’s that they don’t care.
How much a sandwich costs depends entirely on where you’re buying the sandwich, though.
Ask someone from Rochester New York and someone from New York City how much a sandwich costs, and you’re going to get wildly different answers, and that’s the same state
Someone from Rochester would probably be buying a Garbage Plate, anyway
They don’t even understand the concept of the first amendment…
Can we break up the federalist society? And what about removing the assholes who dismiss the peoples votes in the electoral college?
Like I’m not American but is one party really more corrupt there? Like wanting to kill minorities is not corruption, that’s just normal evil shit. Don’t both parties basically pilfer the economy, do massive amounts of insider trading and sell the US to corpos on a daily basis? That’s at least the impression I have gotten. Like one party is absolutely more comically evil though.
Yeeaaaah, we ain’t doin’ so hot.
One party does it far more than the other, but largely yes. The democratic party does have a progressive wing that wants to fix these things, but they don’t have the power to do so yet. The Republicans don’t.
And Democrats aren’t??? Both parties need to go
Correct, they aren’t. They’re not great, but they didn’t try to overturn a free and fair election and then protect the people that orchestrated it.
