  • Its mostly people that are too “individualism pilled” to realize that trump and maga are a fabricated phenomena by wealthy individuals who have been given too much power by society.

    And realistically its not that people are wholly misinformed, just a mix of optimistic, detached, isolated, and understandably angry.

    The vast majority of people didn’t foresee what is happening now but its clear the DNC did and saw a lot of acceptable risks in the way they dealt with biden and harris.

    I’d call the real issue the “Chuck Schumer worldview”











  • I don’t think it has anything to do with the angle, it has everything to do with like republicans buying up radio like 50 years ago then buying up TV in the 90s, and all the tech bros and social media aligning with republicans in 2020.

    If you can fully engulf people in your alternate reality echo chamber for long enough it just becomes true. And in order to create fact-free reality you need to deeply hate the people you’re lying to. Republican leaning dems often support this structure by meeting the lies half way.

    The way to beat this is to make these media companies expensive and useless. To use power to break them up into local outlets or expose them to financial risk for misleading people. And the way to get that power is to find real problems media is steering people away from and addressing those problems.









  • I get what you’re saying but I think its still more cultural than anything. Whenever I run into a brit I ask them if they like coffee and peanut butter and I’ve gotten more “no” than “yes” on both questions.

    I expect for most people who didn’t grow up with peanut butter as a kid they will just not like it, sugared up or not.
