Yeah the news apparatus is fucked

The Democrats failed to combat misinformation and they failed to get people to turn out for the election.

Which is ridiculous because Trump was seen as the cop candidate

We straddled that line between the no internet and Internet age so we started to get this stuff and grow up with it very early on. We picked up on trolls and memes and everything before they were really weaponized. We know the symptoms. Older people take it at face value and younger people are too easily molded by it because they don't know anything before it. This is why misinformation won this election

Looks like people are finally finding out what tariffs are

One of the reasons the GOP was terrified by the Democrats winning was because they assume that their opponents will treat the same as they treat them. They're fucking evil.

Yeah pretty much!

Good luck with that with the EPA gutted

My eyes glazed over when she went on about the "Anti-Semitic wing of the Democratic party" Oh you mean the one who actually wants to stop the genocide And Harris literally was stuck with Biden since she is still the VP of his presidency. It was impossible for her to disavow him. And I do agree that didn't help her but it's ridiculous to suggest she could have just shit on him the whole time

The proud boys are thugs and they are idiots if they think they can get away with terrorizing people in blue states

Nobody cares about the squirrel

Okay but you're wrong about Minneapolis. The governor brought in the National Guard not Trump despite how much Trump wants to claim it's him And the Proud Boys can cause violence but they are not a force like the National Guard Not to mention antifa has been helpful in curbing Proud Boys influence even if Trump declared antifa to be a terrorist group or something like that

Okay but I think panicking about Trump sending the National Guard against the blue states is not going to help. It's spiraling. Trump's evil will be defunding healthcare, education, welfare, environmental protection, food safety. And we need to do what we can to protect people from the fallout

Especially if they're not all from red states The military could stage a coup on him if he tried pulling something crazy like that

If he wants to start a civil war that nobody wants except for an ultra tiny minority Also DC is surrounded by blue states and is blue

He can cut federal funding sure. But that's the most he can do

I genuinely think blue states will be safe

People are upset and he gave them a terrible terrible solution to solve their problem. Their bigotry is why they liked the solution

Tell that to them

Good take

I think she has a shot as long as she can distinguish herself from Biden Hilary was always going to be bogged down with her political baggage but there is a comeback story in a second Harris campaign that isn't weighed down by Biden

Yeah the problem isn't Latino men or Black men. It's men.

Again, it's not just white guys

Yeah definitely. But really she just needs to frame it as "You picked Trump over me and now everything has gone to shit. This is your second and last chance"

I think if Harris can distinguish herself, she can have a credible second run. She needs to be able to provide clear solutions and clear signs of her support for the people afraid of Trump
