In what sense are these renamings attacks on Democrats specifically?
- JumpCrisscross 2mo agoThe entire Trump Presidency has been a uniquely partisan fiasco. I live in Wyoming—we have almost zero ICE enforcement. The brown shirts are being deployed to cities run by Democrats in states run by Democrats. I’m not advocating for counterbattery partisanship per se. But if demonstration is literally what it takes to get this to stop (or escalate to a point where everyone agrees it’s a crisis), so be it. At the very least, someone should be promising this to primary voters to get the conversation going.
- s1artibartfast 2mo agoI get that there is a partisan fiasco. I also think these geographic renamings are tacky and childish. I get that dems are disproportionately bothered by them, I just dont see how they are specifically attacks on the dems. Its not like Trump is renaming the Sacramento to retard river or something. If anything, it strikes me more as a flood the zone tactic, not that the dems need help with distraction - They were obsessing over some stupid reflecting pool while Jan 6 pardon expansions were taking place.
