Was Lincoln racist ? /gen

Isn’t that what it takes?

The internet has become the dominant media. And it didn’t create a free and open information landscape where the best ideas rise to the surface. Instead it started an information war, and the right wing is winning. Mostly because they can blatantly flood it with bullshit.

honest answer: a 45 year project to delegitimize the media by routinely calling them "liberal", so much so that the major media reflexively frames every issue with a pro republican bias, goes soft on republicans in interviews, harder on democrats that was sped up with the introduction of fox news in 1998 and their "fair and balanced" tagline even though they were blatantly pro republican.

now you throw in all of these conservative propaganda online media distribution networks and actual true believers who bought into the "democrats are traitors and the enemy who deserve to be shot" rhetoric started by newton leroy gingrich and sprayed across the country by rush limbaugh having prominent positions in elected office and this is how you devolve into a despotic idiocracy run by a weak autocrat calling himself strong and protected by the truly evil people who are actually running things.

tldr the conservatives scared the media into being pro gop just so they wouldn't be labeled as liberal even though conservatives call them liberal anyway.

As with every scam, the target are those that get most easily fooled.

First Past The Post voting has limited the competition in our elections, making both mainstream political parties incredibly soft and filled with weak individuals. This is why the republicans were so easily bought by Russia, and why the democrats couldn't find a way to beat a circus full of clowns.

At the risk of stating the obvious: It was never about egg prices.

Other countries will eventually see how awesome the US is and donate their eggs for free.

Might think is an irony, but it’s intentional: that area is supposed to be sacred to the locals. This ongoing violation is just colonialism and genocide 2025.

Not just a beautiful mountain, but a sacred mountain that was intentionally defaced because it was sacred.

Trump's ego would never allow it to stay half-finished. It's just our tax dollars that would actually pay for it.

Blowing it up will certainly be an epic symbol of the end of his despotic reign one day, like the footage of statues of dictators being pulled down.

🤞 Please let him personally oversee all of it, please. 🤞

Hey! I made something similar during his first term:

That's what I'm thinking reading this and other articles. It's like the Republican party is reaching to find increasingly desperate ways to get into Trump's graces, to the point that it feels like they're running out of ideas by this point and have started a race to the bottom debasing themselves for his amusement.

How does this man hold so much sway over them? He has the charisma of a wet rag, the character and patience if a toddler, and the long term vision of a house fly. Out of all the things I read about him and his cult, this is the one thing that baffles me the most.
