Liberals will then look you in the eye and tell you you are a radical extremist and no better than a nazi because you refused to vote for the blue bourgeois party.

    look yes the party is essentially Reagan at this point but look how much worse the current republicans are. How dare you not want to vote for Reagan when the alternative is the Hitler version of Reagan (ie those who actually made the decisions for Reagan

    “As a Cold War kid, I’m thankful it was Reagan and not Trump in office in the 1980s,” she added. “Trump would have lost us the Cold War.”

    Slotkin also has emerged as one of the sharpest critics of Democratic messaging, telling reporters after last fall’s election that Democrats would be wise to focus more on “issues that keep people up at night,” like their bank accounts.

    “It’s not rocket science, but talking about those issues plainly, not from the faculty lounge but from the assembly line, is, I think, a very important message,” Slotkin said then. “It’s not just what you’re saying but from what place you are talking about those issues. … I personally think that identity politics needs to go the way of the dodo.”

    i remember seeing this meme back on the old r/chapotraphouse subreddit and it really clicking for me. no pun intended. i was still working on clearing out the american brainworms i had about liberals being on the left and this image really helped solidify it for me that liberals and conservatives are just different pieces in the same machine working together to keep anything from ever gettting better.

    Yep, thats why more mamdani type politicians are needed. Severe consequences are needed for the obvious corruption and blatant coverup of the Epstein files by practically every Republican
