Political Memes

Honestly, I feel like Trump and the GOP's strategy for a while now has been to do so much illegal, evil and heinous shit that the media and public just move onto the next thing.

Any other administration would have been brought to its knees by Signalgate. A few months later and the fucking Secretary of Defense is getting congratulated for not leaking military plans ahead of time.

People's minds are growing numb to the madness. This is very similar to what happened in Soviet Russia in the five years leading up to the collapse of the government.

For full explanation please read: Naomi Klein, The Shock Doctrine.

Texas quietly defunded the border wall. 8% has been built and it's not even connected sections.

The US hasn’t been a country anyone should treat seriously since 2024-11-05, and won’t be again until they can prove their ability to hold another legitimate election.

It’s a coin flip as to whether I’ll see that within my lifetime right now.

I have a prediction:

Iran will send agents to America, who will act as ICE members. Through this guise, they will antagonize the Trump Regime - blackbagging supporters, assassinating politicians, and generally performing domestic terrorism on the 'behalf' of the Regime in a very showy and flashy way. They don't need ID, license plates, nor uniforms, can mask, and bear weapons. Any time they need plausible deniability or to cause some form of riot, they can also attack the general populous, and earn a $1,500 paycheck for each colored head they bring to the Regime.

The Trump Regime has destroyed America's intelligence apparatus, too. Iran has a blank check for destabilizing America, and Trump signed the fucker.

Just like when tRump became the oldest candidate and suddenly no one was talking about age anymore.

Another descriptive term is wagging the dog (referring to the tail having disproportionate leverage over the beast) which is a (not uncommon) presidential tactic of taking a serious military action in order to distract from other scandals.

News media, including classic liberal media will allow other stories to die to report on attacks or invasions (or when you can get it, attacks on the US by foreign units).

George W.Bush used this method, but also blitzing the public with countless scandals. (George H. W. Bush did too) So Trump's kitchen cabinet was likely informed by history when considering becoming Bibi's personal B.

🤔 is this accurate? I don't even follow political stuff and I've heard about everything in that list. Seems like people have been talking about these things

I have seen articles and discussions about all of those items multiple times. We've known trump was an associate of Epstein for how many years? 20? 30? The problem is that there's literally no system in place to hold anyone accountable for anything unless the person being held accountable is just a regular person living paycheck to paycheck.

Oh yes we are. The news has a short memory but we don't. F that guy.

I already see way to much news from the USA while the war in Ukrain is a day driving away. We see almost nothing from that.

"Flood the zone with shit" is working as intended. It‘s chilling to see how quickly push comes to shove and we‘re in a world war once again.

The news has been captured by monied interests for decades now. Stop expecting it to televise the revolution.

War, what is it good for?

Apparently it's good for taking the public mind of a politicians wrongdoings.

We are used having a crisis per quarter not crazy Orange Chicken spamming the controls and creating 4 crises per day

Classic authorian playbook. Either stage a domestic terror attack or start a war.

Mario's Brother also. Although he might resurface in the news in a month or so.

Why do you think fascists create wars?

Yeah, man, let's get back to talking about it. Like we were doing. Just sittin around, talking about it, while more and more of this list happened. And then we just kept on talkin. That's what we need to get back to, suddenly, no one's talking about it. That's the problem.

You think "nobody" is talking about it?

What a tiny world you live in

I remember seeing some post of reddit while lurking of a bunch of election letters being dumped in a drain

I wonder what came of that

Edit: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mTLoKMyLnDI

suicides, school shootings, spree shootings, and political assassinations

the three pillars of american education

And that's only the last couple of weeks. That list could be a hundred times longer.

We have limited ram in our biological CPUs.

Idk I saw news and discussion for all these things and when I brought them up with people I know they also heard of them. We all have a somewhat wide diversity on how we learn about current events too.

I dont think the disinformation/distraction machine is working as well as it thinks

There are so many things that should make the headlines that nothing makes the headlines anymore.

It's called desensitization.

And honestly, if you think some cazy dude killing two people is what should be on page one these days, you got your priorities wrong.

Strap in because the next one will distract us from war with Iran.

It does feel like that story just got moved from way too fast.
