Summary
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez warned that the Trump is deliberately overwhelming the public with chaotic news to induce passivity.
Citing Steve Bannon’s “flood the zone” strategy and historian Michiko Kakutani’s comparison of Trump to Mussolini and Hitler, she argued that Trump uses the internet to spread disinformation, much like past dictators used film and radio.
Urging people to stay engaged, she emphasized that collective resistance can slow harmful policies and that small acts of opposition make a difference.
Feels like Trump has done more in 17 days than Biden in 4 years
Turns out the party of “nothing will fundamentally change” didn’t need to do anything to keep their promise. Even when they tried, Republicans masquerading as Democrats stopped them until Republicans won the house and stopped everything.
Then this chucklefuck wins and says “fuck norms, fuck the law, fuck everyone who isn’t rich. I do what I want.” and Republicans just nod while fox news chants about how he’s “killing it.” Real defenders of the Constitution, those folks…
The sad thing is that no Democrat will say fuck the norms to undo corporate fuckery, or to fix serious problems of inequality, or to slash the military budget, or to save the precious planet we live on from climate doom. They’ll insist on doing things the right way but get 1% of their agenda done before the other team takes over and rolls all progress back 50 years
Well it is faster to burn a forest than grow one.
Cutting government waste and increase efficiency is almost always popular to most Americans. In the past politicians often talk the talk but never walk the walk. I disagree that cutting government waste and increase efficiency is easy at all. It is actually the hardest thing in government.
Too bad he isn’t more like Biden in that case.
Dude never gets tired of collecting W’s
