It seems to work enough that their partisans don't really question their leadership. Like it looks farcical to us, but idk how libs perceive it.
The goal is not to inspire or even get voots the goal is to induce despair
I think they really are this out of touch. Their only interaction with protesters was the 'riots' on TV and the guy kneeling on the football field.
Honestly easier for my mind to accomodate. I keep a brick on my desk for when I need to remind myself that Libs actually believe the stupid shit the Dem leadership says. A few good smacks re-adjusts my worldview the necessary degree.
What kind of brick and do you sell them? I might be interested…
:good-morning:
iirc it even got worked over in
, it just sat in 'Controversial' for a little while with barely any attention, then vanished.
I remember Nancy Pelosi introducing a thing for the one year anniversary of the Jan. 6th riots, and saying something to the effect of "Jan. 6th was a horrible day for our democracy where our sacred halls were desecrated. Now, here's a performance from the cast of Hamilton."
Don't know if that's what you're thinking of, but it was peak lib.
I vaguely remember them singing something on the day the court killed Roe. : p
There's so much just bizarre political theater, it's hard to sort any of it out without taking notes.
They sang God Bless America
"History has its eyes on you!" -
Because Kaepernick.
As both political and moral leaders, they needed to show all the violent rioters the correct way to protest
Speaking of I really need to go make a :thirdprecinctburning: emoji
Oh cool, thanks!
It's not the third precinct burning, it was an apartment building under construction that got set on fire
Didn't mean to imply that he was, just talking about the dems
i think you hit on something here that absolutely confirms the truth of your last sentence. a real political project responsive to its stakeholders and constituency would absolutely pivot at the last second to meet the conditions of the moment. for example, if a "great hero" were to be receiving honors in an event and it came out that the hero was a monster, the event would be cancelled because to do otherwise would be insane and undermine people's faith in the institution, right? in a real democracy, the lack of faith is fatal to authority.
but what we're looking at here is the mentality of theater and spectacle, i.e. "the show must go on." it doesn't matter if the theater is on fire or the ship is sinking, the music can't stop, the actor must act & stay in character, to keep the audience's attention. it's a smoke and mirrors political system, not a democracy. it is here to ensorcell, anesthetize and distract us from efforts to reform.
Someone else we know loves the camera and cannot govern 😇
Yeah and these morons managed to lose an election to him lmao
Possibly the greatest unforced error in the history of football. The whiff heard around the world.

Maybe they mean trump? Idk
Friendly reminder that mango mussolini was secretly backed by Shillary for awhile during the 2016 election.
Let’s keep it to actually elected politicians, not failed politicians who mean nothing to the current political landscape.
