As expected, Jon comes out on top here.
[Maher on the second Trump government] It’s like a Marvel movie. This gang is coming to shake things up.
Goodness gracious.
I actually think both Maher and Cryer have good points.
And no, not all republicans hate black women and trans people. There are black women who are republicans and there are trans people who are republicans.
The election shows that. Dems, and Lemmy, are clueless to that. Now they are learning the hard lesson of it.
Everything Cryer said applies to Bill Maher.
‘I warned everybody about Trump, and then I warned them that I warned them about what would get him reelected, which was stupid wokeness, which is what got him reelected,’ Maher said.
I think the news media gave so much damned coverage to and amplified the MAGA/GOP fight to discriminate against trans folks it seemed like that’s all anyone was talking about.
I didn’t see nearly as much coverage on things that Dems were doing to help the American people. Like creating jobs and doing more than any other piece of legislation to address climate change with the Inflation Reduction Act. Getting the wealthy to pay what they owed in taxes by funding the IRS. Saving consumers billions with the Consumer Protection Bureau… And on
Instead the so-called-left corporate news media talked about how outrageous the GOP shotbags are and spent forever talking about the misnamed “woke” stuff in a brilliant move to avoid talking about climate change and the bullshit corporate takeover of government and ever worse income inequality and the ways to improve lives of all US citizens and beyond
Yes, I do. And I think Lemmy needs to come to terms with it.
It’s not just Republicans that are tired of “woke policies.” The election shows that. Lemmy and Reddit are just huge echo-chambers on the subject. People from both sides of the aisle are sick of the woke BS.
Can you give some specific examples of “woke BS” that Democrats pushed during the election?
That’s an interesting position to take considering how close the election was, but I think it’s also telling considering all that you said prior to Trump’s election and the inconsistencies therein.
Good luck.
