interesting to behold this inversion where the "conservative" side is taking dramatic and rapid action, changing things quickly, while the "progressive" side vociferously defends the status quo
- ganoushoreilly 2y agoIt is, the right appears to be playing the same hand the left has for years and the people are supporting it. Naturally this makes someone that has strong left leaning convictions frustrated as they come the realization that they aren't the majority and the numbers of people that support one narrative on the internet aren't a reflection of society as a whole. The bigger picture is this isn't localized, that's how you know it's a larger problem. Countries around the world are having the same discourse and results. People are done with it. Identity politics is over. Spending excess money to support these groups is over.
- arrosenberg 2y agoThat narrative is so boring and tired, and it's ultimately why Trumpism will be short lived and fade to the dustbin of history. I'm not a leftist, and I mostly don't care about the groups, the right can have them. I care about things like medical research, nuclear energy and the food supply, which are all at risk because the regime's only tactic seems to be to unplug everything and see what breaks, and then decide if they even want it to work. They're not trying to run the country efficiently, they're trying to punish federal employees. Most people are like me - they want real solutions for housing and health, not the impotence we get from the neoliberals or the kayfabe we get from Trumpism.
- ganoushoreilly 2y agoThat’s the beauty of it all, we’re all along for the ride and will see. We should all hope for the best.
- aredox 2y ago"Identity politics is over" says the guy supporting hyper-identity focused mysoginists.
- ganoushoreilly 2y agoI get it you’re upset, but that’s a you problem not a we problem. This is what was voted for. To bring it back to the main topic, the implied god mode access doesn’t exist.
- aredox 2y agoWasn't the previous administration voted for too? Remind me how many people voted for someone else than the current president?
- ganoushoreilly 2y agoDoesn't matter, when the previous admin was in did they take in the considerations of the losing party? Nope. To the victor go the spoils.. of implementing the plan you ran on.
- aredox 2y ago>when the previous admin was in did they take in the considerations of the losing party? Yes. Many big bipartisan bills, immigration crackdown that Trump can't even match now.
- aredox 2y agoThe conservative side is not taking action, it is regressing things to pre-1968 norms. Progressives weren't defending the status quo, they were trying to improve the lives of people who were at the bottom of social order for centuries.
- trts 2y agoit is hard for me to think of a more status quo candidate than Harris
- aredox 2y agoFunny you say that when she was cast again and again as a "crazy" "radical" "socialist" "lunatic". Which one is it?
- trts 2y agoyou do know different people say different things? I am sharing my personal opinion The opposition will always employ fear tactics like socialist, marxist, fascist, science denier etc
