Don’t forget the war on drugs
History has a liberal bias if you care to read instead of listen to TV all day.
If they’re saying “lib” and not “liberal”, then it’s sure not from American TV.
And you’re paraphrasing a television character.
Am American, and “lib” is used every day by MAGA on social media. Just go to X and scroll for a whole couple seconds to see overwhelming proof it’s a MAGA culture war talking point.
I’m not against shitting on liberals either, but there’s clearly a much bigger world wide problem of private equity Fascism that needs solved, and liberals have already been fighting that enemy (albeit not winning that fight). This makes them your friend whether you like it or not.
But solidarity isn’t going to happen if you’re too busy complaining about liberal bullshit to fight with them when needed instead.
Nazis are now in the White House and a Fox News host commands the biggest army in the world.
And that wasn’t even the first 90 days of this dumpster fire.
So I’d rather spend the little time we have left before polical arrests happen to work together than spend time bitching about the history of our possible allies.
I voted for Biden, and was deeply critical of his team. But without question he would be a better President now than Trump is.
Imo words critical of liberals in the US are wasted. Trump will be far more critical of them in the long run, so I’d rather spend my time making allies instead of grandstanding while they’re being publicly admonished.
The next step is them getting arrested, so the time for making allies isn’t long.
Am American, and “lib” is used every day by MAGA on social media. Just go to X
That’s not on TV then, and no I will not go on X. Here on Lemmy, “lib” is used overwhelmingly by leftists. This person complaining about imperialism and right-wing allies is not regurgitating MAGA culture.
Making allies is a great idea. We’re not going to make allies by accusing them of watching TV (like Stephen Colbert) all day.
