Or they have been paying attention to the wrong thing for years. Imagine if your country allowed a right wing propaganda media arm to masquerade as “news” for 40 years.

Bro the average American is more plugged in and detached from reality than Neo was back when he was just Thomas Anderson. They don’t even know reality is out there.

We fully entered the realm of the hyperreal, a world where simulations of reality seem more real than reality itself. Our digital representations of reality have more influence over us than our actual material conditions…at least until we can no longer afford to eat or have a home.

The republicans have, people seem to think this all came together with trump but behind the scenes i 'll bet this is a long con to hand America to the very rich, and its worked perfectly, you just dont realise it yet, there are no more checks and balances, you arent getting another election.

@Aliktren @ininewcrow I think they’ve been packing all the little local committees for elections and education for years. It’s not a coincidence that so many black people got kicked off voter rolls at the last minute in certain states.

The orchestrator of the Red Scare, MacCarthy had a left hand man, Roy Cohn.

Roy Cohn is Donald Trump’s mentor, his other mentee was Roger Stone. Roger Stone is the one who got bush elected in 2000 by kerfuffling in Florida with proto proud boys

I’m paying attention. And I don’t know what to do. Protesting has done nothing.

Just make sure you never go anywhere near a protest unless your phone is in airplane mode or off. Governments can use phone networks to tell whose phones are active within a given area.

And talk to the people there to learn how to be more effective.

Each day’s protest has more people than the last, even on days when the weather is awful.

Also, buy a gun at your local gun store. Do some open carry, exercise your rights. Make them know that they can give in peacefully, or otherways

They need round-the-clock community driven monitoring and protection.

Might as well get started catching the fascists in the act.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
