So many of @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social episodes like this one exposes the superficiality of her understanding of political movements. I think she's the one who said Kristie Noem or someone like her wasn't a deep thinker. Longwell clearly has her own limits.

Ideologically aligned-what a choice of verbiage, clearly minimizing the importance of pols like Zohran being able to get in more pols who look to not only improve middle/low income lives but to increase buffer against increasing dictatorship that est Dems INCLUDING Obama has enabled for decades.

Emptywheel.com wrote multiple articles about Trump ratfuckers manipulating Hunter's laptop a few years ago, pretty much saying what Hunter's saying.

I see only one reply here pointing out a @gagop.bsky.social senate candidate called ICE. As I suspected u all prom political journos/scholars also stay w/in ur silo when s/t it's lesser known accnts that have their ears to the ground.

Excellent, excellent, excellent. This makes the most sense of what's happening to Trump, really gels together the multiple disparate factors, including Trump's sudden preoccupation with death. Shout out to @reallyamerican.bsky.social whose video I came across that featured this thread.

The legal political reporting academic professions will be forced sooner or later to challenge publicly vociferously repeatedly SCOTUS rulings that are flimsy which are mostly issued by conservative judges, s/th that should’ve been done decades ago.

@usatoday.com article is garbage. D/N mention Target boycott. It's astounding how major media exhibits willful ignorance of the sheer economic stupidity of taking away econ power of 17% (blacks) 50% (women) 19% (Hispanic) of the population, that big biz knows the steep drop to their profits.

What gets me esp the older GOP voters is that they obviously are informed enuf to know Trump is destroying the checks/balances of the 3 branches. He rarely hid his intention of becoming a dictator after his 2020 loss. Yet, they voted for the fucking guy a third time.

We know. He knows. His allies knows. Stop framing Trump lies/abuse w/impotent incredulity. IT ONLY HELPS HIM. Approach what he's doing by addressing how he's been successful in his abuse of power, wh/is partly his SCOTUS judges. We never made those judges pay a big price for their immunity ruling.

I call it relaying messages from one outlet to the next, from one podcast to the next, the way r-wing does it. Like passing the baton in a relay race to saturate the major/social media with our talking points. Ideas can be like virus except humans have to work to spread it unlike real viruses.

U know who were the most supportive of Hitler and propelled him to his murderous dictatorship? Small business owners. But then can u blame them for not knowing the group had record growth under Biden since Dems never regularly communicated this to voters?

At at least couple of DNC chair noms seem to comprehend the overwhelming power of r-wing media and how they so successfully manipulated avg voter's perception of Dems. Harris had ground game but Trump already had voters' ears long b4 Nov 2024.

Is it really that u have no idea why public has such a low opinion of Dems, that it's partly bec Dems have refused for decs to do ongoing communication w/public, to show what they've been doing, that voters, esp the indie/mod voters party needs, think Dems are do-nothing?

Political Behavior Commentary @pbcommentary.bsky.social · 25/01/2025
Yes. I’m sure pols said let’s not oppose Hitler even as millions went to gas chambers bec it’ll make him more popular. It’s has nothing to do w/complete asymmetry of mssg machine btwn two parties, that Dems refuse to build their own mssg machine. If u think that’s hyperbolic I’ve a bridge to sell u.

I also saw a post of people going into evacuated areas and take selfies. 85% of wildfires are caused by humans. Except w/arsonists, I never heard of authorities going after those who are careless, such as throwing cigarette out the car, leaving glass in the field, that led to the fire.

I've no doubt top Dems are elitist, not bec they're woke, but bec they care so little about voters that they d/n tt them. They d/n even care to find out at the very least y nearly 7M Biden voters d/n vote for Harris. Harris stopped working-class mssg when her bro-in-law said Wall Street d/n like it.

I think a big reason y DNC h/n done so is bec n/o esp lib/prog media targets the party. Many lib/prog media r part of the problem. They focus solely on Trump, wh/is just fine w/him bec more attn but d/n force DNC accntbility. They keep their heads low and rnt forced to make significant changes.

Against AOC, ur so fucking bad at this. No wonder Pelosi handpicked u bec her words are as useless as urs. AOC is so much more compelling re budget, explaining y Trump wanted to raise debt ceiling NOW for his tax cuts and Musk wanting to reduce his tax bill. Even Raskin knew the crucial point.

Wow. This is such deja vu. Remind South Koreans we had that exact same cowardice from our lawmakers after 1/6. BOTH Dem and GOP leaders didn't think impeaching Trump was necessary, because the country would punish him at the ballot box. And look where we are as 2024 ends.

Political Behavior Commentary @pbcommentary.bsky.social · 02/12/2024
Yeah. Guess who's pushing Rahm? David fucking Axelrod, the height of clueless corporate Dem idiocy if I ever saw one. AOC immediately said, Oh, hell no. www.yahoo.com/news/opinion.... However, Rahm could be under investigation for possible illegal stock trading.

@nytimes.com @axelboada.bsky.social this is bullshit. Height of absolute mediocrity is when reporters/editors ignore outright inconsistencies in the reporting. Jose Castro, the supposed young Latino who flipped from Democrat to Trump, VOTED FOR TRUMP 2016, 2020, AND 2024. He says at 1:09 minutes.

We should also keep in mind that Bluesky can eventually go the way of Twitter, or even Facebook Instagram TikTok etc. Not to be fatalistic but to be realistic about draw of money and need to cash in on all the hard work. And so that we can be prepared if/when things here go down hill.

And this is what doesn’t stop fascism but actually LETS it move forward. That’s bec all these experts on authoritarianism FOCUS ENTIRELY ON THE FASCIST. They seem completely ignorant of the environment that feeds fascism, such as opposing political power that does nothing to address it.

What gets me is that Greg Sargent and Rick Wilson talked about this on a podcast. But Sargent or any other journos never pursued the question of just how much r-wing threats are shaping major media’s coverage of Trump. NO JOURNO IS DIRECTLY ASKING MAJOR MEDIA ABOUT IT, like its taboo.
