obvious headline is obvious
- mindslight 2y agoIt's still important that it's said and repeated as many ways and places as possible though, to maintain that this is the straightforward analysis of reality lest it get postmodernly relativized and swamped out by the propaganda being coordinated by xitter. What we really need to do is move past thinking descriptive-outrage will change anything on its own (the neofascists don't care about being shamed, in fact they've basically built their movement around considering being shamed a good thing), and move on towards discussing avenues of constructive resistance.
- drawkward 2y agoI completely agree with you. However, the headline is obvious.
- mindslight 2y agoBy that standard, so is your comment... It's great that you and I have a level of understanding where this is obvious. That acceptance is part of being able to move past the shock. I really don't know what sway USA Today might have in 2025, but surely it reaches some people who aren't as deep into social media and still running on fumes of what republican/conservative used to mean.
