Criticizing the connection to Cheney is just fine, I'm talking about propaganda around how the "liberal media" is overreacting to Project 2025.
And look where we are now: Project 2025.
And it's not even just about elections or results: there's no excuse for a very influential white leftist to leverage their power to harass and put down BIPOC creators. There's no excuse to defend this behavior.
The same but not treated the same, America has some pretty brutal privilege hierarchies which makes life more difficult for minority groups, disabled people, and anyone who isn't a cishet white Christian male.
Which makes it inexcusable for a white leftist with capitol and influence to run harassment campaign against BIPOC creators.
You know those white leftists own a lot more capitol than those BIPOC creators right?
I don't know how viable that actually is, a decade of Trump flags and Trump shirts and Trump merchandise, and decades of Trump branding everywhere before that. The Trump cult is in too deep.
The GOP winners will probably be the ones that poach the Trump brand as "we are Trump's chosen ones to carry out Trump's vision for America", until his cultural significance wanes.
I know for sure some people who didn't vote because of white "leftist" content creators who were working hard all 2024 to smear Kamala and BIPOC liberal content creators. There's not enough data to measure the damage they did, I don't see any reason they should be let off the hook either.
I did some more research and this is no joke:
Globalism is bad, being fair is bad, Europe-first, huh I wonder where we've heard this kind of rhetoric before.
Not that they hate authority so much as they believe they deserve to be on the inside/protected/oppressor class. They hate being held accountable for anything.
There was an option to buy the planet some more time, and there was an option to burn up the time.
That time could have made all the difference, but now we'll never know, because some silly goobers decided it was worth burning the planet to own the libs.
Just wait until you find out that Trump is a white supremacist who entertains Nazis at his home with private dinner parties.
Accelerationists helping accelerate global warming :(
The fascists have done an incredible job lulling people into a false sense of security with "Trump just says outrageous things to trigger the libs he'll never actually do anything".
Fuzzy memories after 4 years of anti-Democrat propoganda, remember overwhelmingly Americans use social media that backs Trump (X, Meta, TikTok), to the point that even US "leftists" were all in anti-"blue MAGA".
It's classic manufactured consent. That's why FAFO was trending after election. Americans don't know what they voted for. They are about to find out - the hard way.
I would argue that the supermajority weren't fine with this result, these real life consequences, but were under a collective cope/delusion that "Killer Kamala" was a "weak woman" but also a warhawk who just wanted to genocide lots of people in Gaza and prolong the war in Ukraine, and Trump was going to bring peace and prosperity and lower the cost of living.
Americans are mostly stupid, poorly educated, gullible, and easily deceived by low effort promises.
It will crumble, the question is will it crumble fast enough before its oil and gas fetish accelerates climate change too far.
