“Trumpism is not going to be defeated by inside-the-Beltway politicians,” he said.
I love Bernie, but he isn’t effective… hopefully this time he will be, but I don’t see anything he says being shared online
He’s one person, you can’t change the system without the people being on your side. After the Watergate scandal, and subsequent Regan Nixon resignation and evisceration in the media, fox News showed up.
Between Fox News and all the other misinformation floating around today, the landscape is much different than when people like Martin Luther King Jr. were involved in the civil rights movement.
Basically, it’s easy to lie and sling mud, but much harder to fight with facts when the internet can spread lies at a blistering speed around the world through social media.
Regan resignation
Oh man, that’s the timeline I want to live in!
(It was Nixon… but I get the confusion, both were evil fucks)
We are watching one man change the system without the people. So, I disagree. Bernie just needs to say aloud what we are all thinking.
What? Trump isn’t doing shit by himself. He’s got a plethora of zealots and other Nazis carrying out the entire Project 2025 plan. He’s got tens of millions of zealot voters rabidly defending everything their dictator is doing.
Trump is a symptom, not a cause. Of course his rhetoric and abrasive disregard for the law has emboldened others to be more direct in their hate, but if Trump were to die today these problems wouldn’t just magically disappear.
Thats the problem; there’s a lot of people who aren’t thinking the same things that Bernie says. Those people give Trump his power. He’s nothing without a backing.
Trump is not changing the system by himself. He is enabled by thousands and thousands of people propping him up. Project 2025 is written by a bunch of lawyers, and neo-christiofascists. If it was just Trump by himself, the movement never would be as successful as it is.
I would also argue, this has been the culmination of 50 years of federalist society scheming. It didn’t just appear out of nowhere with Trump. He’s just the festering wound at the center, and a symptoms of a much larger issue.
