Antifar 06/18/25 12:40:54 PM #1:	To give just one recent example: https://bsky.app/profile/schumer.senate.gov/post/3lrvavi4e222q This is a really bad rhetorical tic that they have adopted, and I hope they will unlearn it soon. https://stringinamaze.net/p/the-politics-of-eternal-distraction We are in the midst of a crisis unprecedented in modern American political history: the President is deploying the military domestically, with the very openly stated purpose not just of quelling civil unrest but violently subjugating his political opponents. Its a significant authoritarian escalation, and the President has made it clear that hes going to run the same playbook across the country. But theres a big lingering question: is it all just a distraction? Many elected Democrats seem to think so. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer claims Trump is attempting to distract from his many failures. Senator Ed Markey said hes trying to distract the public from the budget fight. Senator Alex Padilla said the same thing. So did Rep. Robert Garcia, a California congressman. Even California Governor Gavin Newsom, who is at the forefront of the political fight in Los Angeles, has adopted the distraction language. Its not limited to politicians, either. Jon Stewart said that the ICE raids that sparked protest in Los Angeles were a distraction from the Elon/Trump feud. Which is interesting, because just a few days prior several Democrats were arguing that the Elon/Trump feud was itself a distraction. This isnt a novel phenomenon. When Trump announced last week that he was launching an investigation into Joe Bidens mental capacity, Biden and other Democrats said it was a distraction from the budget fight. When Trump instituted a new travel ban, Democrats said that was a distraction, too. When Gavin Newsom was asked about Kilmar Abrego Garcia being sent to a Salvadoran gulag without due process, he called it the distraction of the day, saying we should be focusing instead on Trumps tariffs (although back in December Senator Chris Murphy said it was the tariffs that were the distraction from Trumps real agenda.) It goes on and on. Trump saying hell turn Gaza into a resort? Distraction. His plans to annex Greenland and the Panama Canal? Distraction. His joint address to Congress? Distraction. The publication of his tax returns? Distraction (that ones from 2017, lest you think this is a recent development). This rhetoric veers quickly into being offensive. The idea that something is a distraction pretty plainly implies that its not worthy of our political energy, and maybe not even worthy of our attention. Thats a pretty grotesque thing to say about people being forcibly taken from their homes and communities while the military is sent in to crush any resulting dissent. Its a pretty grotesque thing to say about a man who was shipped off El Salvador without so much as a hearing. Even if Trump was doing these things to divert media attention, the human toll would obligate the Democrats to action. --- Please don't be weird in my topics <cite>Antifar posted [p:985481614] in Democrats ...

But time and time again they cave and yield to every single issue. So if transrights are a distraction, and mass deportations are a distraction, and tariffs are a distraction, and due process is a distraction, and the budget is a distraction, and Palestine is a distraction, then what's the real issue we should be aligned on?

SydnieStarlight 06/18/25 8:21:54 PM #38:	The sad thing is, there's an argument to be made that they are all distractions...from one another. By flooding us with so many things that all warrant strong resistance, they make it hard to even tell which battles most deserve our energy on any given day. "Anyone with a Spanish-sounding name getting shipped to a prison in El Salvador" and "the military being used to violently suppress criticism of the regime" both have legitimate claims to being the most urgent problem, but we can't all pour all our effort into both of them at once. Then you multiply that across a new scandal every few days and there's just too much. And that's probably by design, specifically to paralyze the left with this internal debate about what the real problem is and what's just a distraction. They don't have to worry so much about opposition if we're too busy arguing amongst ourselves about which horrendous human rights violation is the higher priority right now. --- Star Rail (601319792) \| FGO (960,463,298) Let's be friends~ <cite>SydnieStarlight posted [p:985486948] in Democrats ...
