1. What you see here is clearest illustration why things are so messed up and why it cannot get any better until this asymmetry is addressed. Put simply: the right-wing has narrative dominance. My org @mmfa.bsky.social did this study and has been sounding this alarm for years. Some thoughts...

People voted for a fictional Trump they made up in their heads and the question is whether the massive propaganda apparatus behind him can maintain that fiction while he does all the things many of his voters told themselves he wouldn’t do bsky.app/profile/carl...

The only solution is to have DeSanctimonious and Hegseth duke it out on a Netflix stream with the victor getting the gig. No mommies or shoe boosters. Just pure pudding fingers and Pat Bateman energy.

This goes through my mind as I drive in rural America and see our flag bastardized with Trump’s stupid face flying in voter’s yards. Trumpism couldn’t be more unpatriotic and anti-American. I wonder just at what point they (or I) lost all grasp of sanity.

Four years of ‘Hunter Hunter Hunter Hunter’ and this is what we get the moment Republicans retake power. The president appointing his son-in-law’s former convict father, who he earlier pardoned, to a prestigious US government job abroad for which he has zero qualifications.

For the first time in a while overdose deaths are declining - seven straight months of declines. The cause is complicated but appears to be the culmination of a number of different Biden admin policy initiatives coming to fruition. And yet it meant absolutely nothing politically.

Trump is, once again, demonstrating that he is just more of the same. Handing out Gov positions to the highest bidder. Of course that was obvious to anyone paying attention.

A regressive tax on the lower/middle class to fund more tax cuts for the obscenely wealthy, implemented by a President and party who won overwhelming working class support. A working class who threw a grenade into the system hoping for real change but, as predicted, will get more of the same.

At some point we are going to realize that all these legal cases are a waste of time and a giant distraction from building grassroots movements that manifest in electoral victories. So he gets away with it. So what. Rich dudes get away with shit all the time. Time to focus again on winning voters.

They honestly look at Trump and think, yeah, he’s a genius, he’s playing 4D chess! Meanwhile he’s jotting down names from his morning TV shows and having his top donors tell him which job they paid for. He’s brilliant!

Hope you stick around. Soak in some intelligent discourse, and come to understand just how badly you've been used by Trump and his billionaire cadre. We'll be here when reality comes crashing down, because many of us are also working class, and we know the damage that a feudal system will do.

The concentration of wealth in the hands of an elite few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, the American people don't have a voice. The result is demagoguery and corruption.

We need to focus on authenticity. Policies are important, but voters want someone less manufactured and polished. They want to feel like this person has actual values and will fight tooth and nail for them. That their policies reflect who they are at their core, not developed by focus-group.

Political parties have control over the terms of primary elections. Whoever becomes the new head of the DNC must commit to banning super PACs in Democratic primaries. If Dems really want to become the party of working people, they must disavow Big Money.

This argument is such a fundamental misunderstanding of how power and institutions work. We aren't leaving X because of who is on the platform--we're leaving X because of who owns the platform, and what he's doing with it.
