Evergreen tweet. Socialism is whatever they need to be so they can paint their foes as enemies of the state.

California may as well be "the brown people in that far off country" to these people. A very blatant example of colonialism turning inward.

It's weird the 4 things he's known for is filling pot holes, shoveling snow, not arresting Netanyahu, and not stopping the federal government from forcing hospitals to stop trans care

It's so depressing they gotta shoehorn in a fake Israeli connection. There's plenty of good arguments against the shit way the data centers are being built for this boom before the bust, none of it involves "nefarious Jews" it's so fucking stupid

There is no dialogue with the Sensible Moderates: they are *not listening to a word you say*, and they never have listened to anything you said. When you speak, they are only thinking about their next smart retort, and they only ever hear a noise like a cow mooing or Donald Duck throwing a tantrum.

There's no one way of interpreting any data set. One should ask what goes into the data? What influences the data? Who stands to gain from that influence? Can governments influence data? Can corporations? If so, what's their motivation? What's anyone's motivation for presenting a handful of charts?

Brandon Ford @cobradj.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Data backing up "take a look around". We might have different world views making us see the data different? Maybe in a few years everything will be back to normal and all this means nothing and nothing happens. Maybe we're transitioning to a sort of new normal. Either way, it's important to remember

Brandon Ford @cobradj.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

I'm going to level with you. It's not the data I'm taking issue with, and I'm not sure why you haven't picked up on that. Maybe it's more philosophical. The charts and the data aren't wrong. The framing is wrong. The confusion about the low consumer sentiment is baffling. I'm not sure there's any

Brandon Ford @cobradj.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

You don't understand the greater context and that's fine, but don't just assume everyone else is crazy because we do.

Brandon Ford @cobradj.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Again with your assumptions and hand waving of "emotions" if you don't care to engage with the politics of it then stop responding to me. I don't believe it's healthy or helpful to disconnect the humanity from what those charts mean. You're also projecting the conspiracy\bunk science onto me too.

Brandon Ford @cobradj.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

This is a problem I have with the charts people. Fundamental unwillingness to see beyond a sliver of cherry picked information.

Brandon Ford @cobradj.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

What's wrong with trying to anticipate what's happening next? You willfully live in some nativity of how things could unfold. I assume you're the kind of person at the end of the "first they came" poem?

Brandon Ford @cobradj.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

The more I think of it the more I'm offended at your waving away of "bad and good things happen" on a long enough timeline bull shit. Fucker, shits happening right now that affects our lives, you're and mine. Stop acting like it doesn't make any difference now because we had it worse in the past.

Brandon Ford @cobradj.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

I disagree with your rosey picture of the future, at least the near future. You mentioned the past wasn't great for minorities and LGBTQTIA+ people and I agree and I HOPE a return to the FDR era governing includes EVERYBODY but it's not looking good ATM if you ask me which I know you weren't

000

Brandon Ford @cobradj.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

And what makes you more accurate? Why do you think I'm trying to be accurate about future events? Do you think anyone here is trying to predict exactly what happens next? Understanding the ideologies and motivations of the people in power informs what I think the future is like

Brandon Ford @cobradj.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

You're the one bringing your own baggage to the conversation. You think being realistic makes me a doomer and misinformed. You have already judged me to be some dumbass parroting talking points. Please engage on ideas and ideology

Brandon Ford @cobradj.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

You might do yourself some good by turning on the news. All those benefits you tout are actively being rolled back by the Christian Fundamentalist Republican Party, the end goal of neo-liberalism to fully replace the FDR era with private ownership.

100

Brandon Ford @cobradj.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

None of that was the result of adopting neo-liberalism post Carter. The stuff falling apart is governance, social safety nets, social contract, essential financial regulations, and government funded services. The stuff that affects the vast majority everyday.

I am shocked (not) at all the misogynistic comments. These people really don't think a woman journalist would be doing the critical thinking of "who's playing at this exact time?" "But there was 6 men's games that day" STFU

Brandon Ford @cobradj.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

He's not right about this, though. He is ignoring a lot of societal markers to say "well actually we have it pretty good and things aren't falling apart" but things have been falling apart since the Carter admin. Trump is accelerating it, but this a long term project by the right. It's not on charts

The face expressions on Schmitts own staff member behind him tells a good story too. No one up there sincerely believes any of this. It's all kabooky theater to protect America's new king.

Brandon Ford @cobradj.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Wow it's so crazy how people talk directly to one another on social media and plead to see a different perspective. It's like we're all on equal footing and not some plebians talking to the king from outside the wall.

Erm ahktualy, Ronald Reagan did something similar and look at us now. Everything is fine.

Fully agree with this. I started following because he'd be ground zero for most of the discourse on my timeline but found he hits more than misses, but boy are his misses big sometimes.
