Americans will just go "this guy wants to instate free healthcare, cleanse police corruption, and to stop bombing the middle east!" and expect you to reel back in disgust.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

I mean, most politicians do.

[–] Wilco@lemm.ee 12 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Because their MAGAt base will in fact reel back in disgust if any of those things are proposed. If "the libs" want it, then MAGA is programmed to hate it.

See how the fox piece looks? It has the politicians face, then they let MAGA know the guy is a "lib", likely with the set up talking points. That is all MAGAts need, a face and to know the person is on the other side ... from there anything else mentioned about the person is automatically bad.

In 3 years Fox news will just show a picture of the political opponent's face with the caption "this guy is a lib" which will send every MAGAt into a murderous rage

I remember seeing video of a MAGAt rally. Trump vs. Biden election. They had a picture of Hillary up on the screen while the MAGATs chanted "lock her up". I didn't get it. She wasn't running ... it made no sense.

It's a cult ritual

Here's how I think they see this:

Landlords will go out of business. For-profit grocery stores will go out of business. People I don't know won't suffer (there's even more letters at the end and I don't know what they mean; that scares me). Businesses will have to pay more to operate, therefore prices will rise for me to protect profits. Brown people will still be where I have to see and interact with them.

Conservatives are fearful. They think when someone gets something good, it's by taking from them. Fuck 'em.

They don't even try to hide their racism anymore.

This is the future that those who are controlling the conservative platform are trying to prevent.

Make no mistake this is and always will be a class war about stealing the value of workers for their own personal gain.

Democrat leadership is also not happy with Mamdani. He isn't following the rules, like David Hogg, or AOC.

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Fuck the establishment Democratic Party reps, run them all out of office because they will never get it. We need a new deal not conservative appeasement.

[–] WiseScorpio@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

100%

Democrat leadership is tepid dogwater

Yes but many of these would require taxing the rich, which I’m against because I might somehow become rich one day through virtually no effort or understanding of how one becomes rich to begin with

[–] Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 11 points 6 days ago

That's it right there. Just mentioning the phrase tax the rich has become enough of a catalyst for the punching down to intensify. Keep the pressure on.

[–] scutiger@lemmy.world 17 points 6 days ago

What a monster! Making the lives of people better, like a maniac!

[–] bytesonbike@discuss.online 27 points 6 days ago

You know they're mad

"Building affordable housing" oh the horror! Who would do such a thing?

[–] vivalapivo@lemmy.today 15 points 6 days ago

That's some poor propaganda, comrade fox news. You should've rendered it in Arabic or Chinese to scare them out

[–] thatradomguy@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

Huh... that almost sounds like a public... good. Tickle me that.

[–] drmoose@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago (5 children)

Its crazy that NYC still can't afford free public transportation. City literally has more expensive apartments than yearly cost of operating busses.
