Vivek Ramaswamy, the former presidential candidate running as a Republican for governor of Ohio, posted a Halloween photo of himself and his two sons on Friday. The post received a wave of xenophobic and racist replies, including one user who wrote, “I see this year Vivek went as an H1B immigrant here to steal your jobs. Very scary. Like the brown version of the Grinch.”
Take a political organization with no policies, no substance, only nationalist slogans and propaganda. It should be obvious that such an org, having no plan for real and beneficial change, will eventually turn in on itself because they need someone to blame for the lack of progress. And who did these guys think they would start with?
Assumed I was talking about the GOP? That comment easily fits the Democrats. Observe how they’re turned on players with actionable plans, Platner, AOC, Bernie, Mamdami, et al.
Ah yes, democrats. Known for their nationalist sloagn’s like “Support the troops” and “America First!” And “Make America Great Again!” am I forgetting any others? There has to be some around Reagan and Nixon’s time I’m forgetting.
The classic “Lock her up!” while crying about weaponized DOJ that is now going after anyone that sought justice against their dictator.
They say the same exact things you quoted without hammering them into slogans, same meanings though. Their voters aren’t as easily swayed by quickie little blurbs, they aim a little higher, longer sentences, but the messages still lack meaning. But maybe that’s why their messaging isn’t hitting? Would you argue the Democrats are winning the propaganda war?
You want to argue the Democrats have real policies of substance? Real plans to move our economy and society forward? Because all I see them doing is killing the tiny minority that have articulated plans. You want to argue the Democrats aren’t imploding? I gave examples I think we mostly agree on around here. You gonna address any other part of my comment?
Lemmy: We hate Democrats, but don’t dare compare them to the GOP! We’ll call you out for ‘both sides’ and nullify your opinion!"
I’m sorry, I’m still not getting it, can you explain a bit more about your viewpoints?
If you have nothing to add? 🤷🏻
“No thanks, picked out the bit I wanted to argue, got my ‘burn’, we’re done here.”
OK.
I dunno man, you seem to have a lot to say, wanted to leave room to fully express your views.
