Democrats can't keep pretending theyre immune to criticism because they're not fascists. Especially when they're bending the knee to Fascists. You do have to keep the moral high ground to use the moral high ground.

Every time Trump does something stupid, a liberal will barge in and go "See? Aren't I so much smarter than the leftists?" without being prompted, making up strawmen to be angry at. And if you get mad at them inventing people to be mad at, they claim you're the strawman they made up.

I'm pretty sure this is also why they want to annex Canada, Greenland, and Panama (maybe Mexico if they think they can get away with it). It's the exact same strategy the Nazis used, and I'm not invoking that lightly: when their economy was absolute dogshit, the Nazis made it look WAY better by A) going to a war footing and B) invading other countries and stealing everything that wasn't nailed down (then stealing everything else, including the nails.)

A huge difference between the left and the right is that the left respects the citizens and gives them the benefit of the doubt on how much they understand and consider. The right doesn’t overestimate them and accurately reckons and takes full advantage of their reactive, unanalytical character.

I know what newsmax is.

I also known that this is just enough cognitive dissonance to maybe turn someone...

Its a matter of "if they can turn on a dime, you can too".

I get that they are doubling down. I also get that this is the first disconnect they have had with mainstream media in eight years. And maybe that is my in.

I understand that it is a small shift, but honestly, its the first shift ive seen in many of them in almost a decade. Ill take it.

Newsmax, if you're not familiar, is if Fox News had a crazy uncle.

trumpers can blame biden all they want. You can't deny an empty belly, and if the president is saying everything is great while the evidence to the contrary is literally visceral, that's not gonna work for long. Just look at how well doing that exact thing worked out for biden and harris.

I suspect that trump will try it anyway and once it fails, he'll pick the next entry on the "then they came for" list and start blaming them.

The problem with the Biden economy was that the conventional economic measures were good, but groceries still went up. Effectively, this already didn't work for Biden, even though Biden technically wasn't lying.

I'm pretty sure you were not necessarily quoting him directly, but I would point out that he and his apparatchiks have literally said such things, including how Biden's economy, which was by objective measurements (yeah, I know they are imperfect) the "envy of the world, was AXETUALLY the "worst" economy ever.

Which is just such ridiculous nonsense. Meanwhile, donvict takes actions that have consequences, one of which is crashing the economy and they expect us to sit there and believe such nonsense? I know a lot of idiots won't even bother to look it up, even if it's just a graph of the S&P, but holy shit, that is some next-level, Orwellian-type brazen lying.

No, this time he's right. They both manipulate economic data shamelessly. There's no greater evil if you ignore everything except lying about economic data for political reasons.
