This is why I love the left. You're all holed up in your silos and have no idea what the opposition to you actually believe. At the same time the opposition is actively expanding out so many people believe this sentiment and when the left are confronted with these things it's shocking to them. Meanwhile these ideas have become common.
There's just no resistance to them spreading ideas.
You got them, they get so hurt every time we say this. It's totally working
Which sucks because MAGA are the only people with enough will power to enforce these things.
Right, why won't the Republicans do something!!!
Not sure what else we can do
Hold on I'm going to go stand in the street and call people fascists while I have a box at home that is built to get a message out and connect people
And yet, there’s barely any content online that truly calls out all the lies. Sure, there are daily articles and posts, but nothing really sticks. It feels like we have the attention span of goldfish.
There have never really been any consequences, because as the opposition, we’re not actually opposing effectively. Unlike the right, who oppose Democrats with every fiber of their being. I still see people driving around with a dozen “F*** Biden” stickers and anti-vaccine slogans on their cars. I still see guys standing on overpasses with pictures of Bill Gates and posters about the New World Order.
Meanwhile, on the left? I think there was a protest last week. It lasted a few hours, maybe. A lot of people showed up, walked around, and then went home. I’m not even sure what the protest was about, but everyone seemed to feel like they accomplished something.
But that right-wing guy on the overpass? He’s been out there for a year. And somehow, my grandma thinks Bill Gates is a pedophile trying to start a New World Order—but she has no idea that Trump is disappearing people.
So I don’t get it. One guy on an overpass vs. millions marching in the street. Something isn’t right. I mean I get it everyone, there fascists, they're Nazis. Maybe if we just keep saying it then other people will realize it to on their own but maybe not. Maybe we need to do more collectively than March and call them names. Maybe we need to shape culture instead of just hiding from it all and being reactive.
It is insane how I have to crawl around Lemmy to see this. A story like this would be flown on an over pass on highways across the country if this was reversed politically. There would be a clownvoy honking across the highway until every person was aware of this.
But it looks insane and out of touch too make posts where it suggests both are the same
This guys balls are soaked and estrogening his entire body
Ok I did read that. Thanks
