| legendary_zell 07/20/25 12:29:43 PM #3 | There are people with this wit, drive, charisma, and laser focus in every community all across this country. Our system does not identify them and/or actively drives them away. THAT'S one of our biggest problems.

| Topic | Meet the Trump-Mamdani voter |
| legendary_zell 07/19/25 6:58:40 PM #18 | Left, right is not the only axis of politics or even the most important one a lot of the time. There's also up vs down. Trump, through his demeanor, bucking the system, making the right people angry (people closely identified with the way things currently are), and being unapologetic in attack and defense, has had attacking upward on lock since 2015. Democrats are seen as the party of the status quo, that tells you everything is fine as is, nothing much needs to change, just listen to the experts and everything will be fine, and if you think otherwise, you're stupid. For what is supposed to be the more left party to claim that unfavorable terrain and cede the anti-establishment message is malpractice. Mamdani deeply understands that. He understands that it's useful to be seen going against landlords who are crying and shitting their pants about rent control when housing costs are eating people alive, he doesn't care if economists hate it, if the media hates it, if it's actually wrong, he just refuses to budge from it. Trump does the same thing, just with racism. Leftists are not the only ones who are not fascist who could do something similar, they're just the overwhelming majority of the ones who do and so they have all the juice right now. --- We can bring to birth a new world from the ashes of the old For the union makes us strong. |

They are the most popular, they're the ones fighting, they're the only ones breaking through the noise.

Things that border on conservative in the way that liberals sometimes do? Yes. Say things incompatible with the progress that we all want? Yes.

It doesnt make sense to me how the Biden admin would have known Trump was on this list and not made that public knowledge unless Dems were also on it. This is a crucial point. It would be very easy to mount attacks as a way of winning back some anti-elite street cred. But there could be too many donors, celebs, and maybe even former Presidents implicated that it might legitimately not be worth it in their eyes. --- We can bring to birth a new world from the ashes of the old For the union makes us strong. |

These people aren't known for standards or consistency and they're already going out on a limb by challenging the declarations of their dear leader.

| Topic | Trump-Voting Nebraska County Loses Sole Clinic to President's Cuts |
| legendary_zell 07/04/25 6:17:33 PM #18 | We need to publicize this and tie it around each and every Republican's neck. We should be organizing every clinic and hospital to directly blame Trump and the local GOP representative for this. But we've gotta stop the (public) schadenfreude and being gleeful over misery of others. That's the domain of Republicans and we should be the ones pointing out the damage and clearly assigning blame, not mirroring that behavior. Republicans will do anything to change the subject, lets not give them the easy out of us appearing to celebrate people losing healthcare. The visible message should be "Republicans don't care about you, they did this to you, we'll make it better than it was before" end of. Say whatever you want in your private group chats, but publicly direct the blame at oligarchs, corporate news, and Republicans. --- We can bring to birth a new world from the ashes of the old For the union makes us strong. |

| legendary_zell 07/04/25 1:05:46 PM #19 | He directly connected one of the most well-known slurs/stereotypes and specifically in the context of bankers. He knew exactly what he was saying. Any media outlet that is even implying that he doesn't is complicit in normalizing Nazi style antisemitism. People who claim to police antisemitism have much less of a problem with the actual old school antisemitism that led to the Holocaust and pogroms than they do with a brown person or college student opposing genocide. --- We can bring to birth a new world from the ashes of the old For the union makes us strong. |

| legendary_zell 07/03/25 5:07:19 PM #18 | creativerealms posted... Hate gets people to vote against their own interests. Many of them are convinced that they ate safe, that they are not the "leaches in the system." They really think they won't lose or get reduced benefits. There's entire social systems and media landscapes devoted to creating this outcome and they're doing their job. The fundamental problem in our society culturally and politically is that every force is pushing you to be right wing by default and it's only through self interest, family tradition, or some other intervention that anyone ends up non-insane.

| Topic | Is there any question Trump is the worst President in US history at this point? |
| legendary_zell 07/03/25 8:18:39 AM #132 | Nixon is often overlooked in this. Even before he became President, he was a crucial part of the second red scare that did immeasurable damage to democracy, unions, and the left in this country that we have never recovered from. Then as President, he began the centralization of power in the executive and security state that we're seeing bear fruit now. He shattered trust in government and the rule of law and received immunity for doing so. He sabotaged peace in Vietnam and waged illegal wars in Cambodia and Laos, leading millions to die directly and damaged the society enough to lead to the rise of the Khmer Rouge, who he then shielded from consequences. Nixon was a world historical monster. That said, Trump is rocketing up the charts and will definitely surpass Nixon at this rate if he hasn't already. --- We can bring to birth a new world from the ashes of the old For the union makes us strong. |

Yet apathetic nihilism will only lock in the worst possible outcome and forfeit any possibility of a reckoning. We haven't even begun to use the levers that could really change things.

You just describe a gateway drug version of the actual policy without bringing up the scary label.

| Topic | What makes Trump so popular? |
| legendary_zell 06/30/25 7:46:44 PM #16 | He weaponizes grievance and bigotry, while granting capital free reign. He mirrors and validates the simple minds and desire for simple solutions many have. By bucking political taboos, publicly relishing the pain of his enemies, backing "his people" to the hilt, and railing against cultural elites, he gets to paint himself as anti-establishment and for the "common man." All of that is a very effective mix. It works because people don't have class solidarity and because the rest of our politicians are garbage and can't/don't want to use the methods that would actually work against this. --- We can bring to birth a new world from the ashes of the old For the union makes us strong. |

That's why the more something is proof that the right is wrong and the left is right, the harder they twist it. You see this with abortion laws, school shootings, right wing terrorism, etc. If something clearly proves the right-wing mindset wrong, it MUST therefore be a false flag, psyop, or other trick specifically crafted or caused by the left. Right wing policy can never fail, it can only be failed or misrepresented.

There is no rule that says the devil you know is better than the one you don't.
