I had a coworker who was interested in the show and I explained to him that the beginning had a lot of audio problems and if it bothered him to start around the mid 20s instead. Then the show was announced and he told me he’d just wait for the show, I haven’t met many others who liked the start.

Crockett: "Everyone wants to talk about how Maduro was illegitimate. As we sit here on January 6, I do want to be clear: somebody else was trying to be a Maduro of the United States. Somebody else wanted to do the exact same thing. The difference is Maduro was successful."

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists. Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election. Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot. It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

What we’re being told is that a guy who is an adjudicated rapist, who was credibly accused of sexual assault by dozens of women, who paid hush money to a porn star, who cheated on all his wives, who is mentioned hundreds of times in the Epstein files, couldn’t possibly be a sexual predator.

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that. No phones, no staff, nothing. I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!

Reports and video show flash-bangs thrown into piles of debris just before a car caught fire, strongly suggesting it was law enforcement, not protesters, who sparked it. More details are coming. Don’t let them control the narrative. Thank you to everyone sharing footage, always record everything.

There are a few exceptions of people who I know realized they were lied to but most of them are still too stubborn to admit they were conned. They would rather silently worry about how bad things could get and even ask me for advice while agreeing with their fellow cultists when around them.

Idk most of the people I know who voted for him still love him, they just removed any public imagery because they are afraid, they also don’t blame him for any of the issues. I’ve heard so many “does trump know what Elon is doing” or “why doesn’t trump stop him” from the maga cultists.

Because our media didn’t share the agenda or its very valid connections, it shared him lying and saying he wasn’t connected to it. Remember that legacy media is complicit in all of this and decided to sane wash trump and comply in advance with his threats.

And the history portion did talk about the freedoms of the individual evolving in philosophy for liberalism before the economic policies, which makes sense. I apologize for being misinformed on this subject abd thank you all for the opportunity at correction.

Klaestone @klaestone.bsky.social · 01/04/2025
Ok now that I’ve had much more time I read through it, and to me it still seems that classical liberalism was focused on laissez faire free market economics and freedoms for the individual, rather than modern liberalism, so I still don’t see how it’s wrong to say it used to be about free market. 1/2

Thank you for your brief explanation in these few comments, I still plan to read the wiki the other user sent but this makes their point make a lot more sense. I still personally prefer the phrasing of progressive due to the decades of having heard liberal used in a different connotation.

Klaestone @klaestone.bsky.social · 31/03/2025
Alas I do not have time to sit down and read an entire Wikipedia article in the middle of the workday, but I will come back to read it later. My understanding from what I know at this moment is that in American politics liberal has meant free market for at least the last couple centuries.

Klaestone @klaestone.bsky.social · 31/03/2025
My further understanding is outside of politics it goes back to just Latin meaning of freedom/liberty but took on the later meaning which sees much more widespread use within American politics and is how it is used in common term now. Again please correct my misconceptions I will appreciate it. 2/2
