Republicans act to shape public opinion and leftists act to shape public opinion (against their thing).
Republicans consistently act to shape public opinion. Democrats consistently cower to public opinion. That's a huge, long-term, structural problem.

KELLY: Does HHS's vaccine webpage reflects the department's view on covid vaccines?

RFK JR: I haven't seen the website

KELLY: It's kind of troubling that you're unaware of what your own department's website states. It says they're safe and effective.

...and here's what it would look like when broken out into brackets based on partisan lean.

Again, still a SHITLOAD of people losing coverage across the ideological spectrum, but this time with a slight lean towards higher losses in redder districts.

Trump signals there won’t be any further escalation by him after Iran’s response.

“I want to thank Iran for giving us early notice, which made it possible for no lives to be lost, and nobody to be injured.”

not a single use of ‘republican’ but nearly 20 references to ‘democrats.’ and some people wonder why it’s impossible to break bread with these people.

Exactly. If the rhetoric of random leftists is shifting public opinion, then the real question is why the objectively more radical and dangerous rhetoric of random right-wingers isn’t.
i listened to the Ezra Klein/Sarah McBride interview, and her entire position revolves around a completely unproven assertion: the idea what caused the shift in polls away from trans rights is the rhetoric of the left. that might be true, but i haven’t seen any real evidence for it.

the Parliamentarian dropped a list of stuff that isn't eligible for reconciliation and this is the first time i'm hearing that they're trying to steal the Smithsonian's space shuttle

Yes, Rep. Melissa Hortman was a consequential Speaker of the Minnesota house. But what distinguishes her career is character. Did you know this about her?

I sure did try and warn people that something like this could happen if Dems start to "throw their bodies in the fascist machine".

The mainstream media is in the thrall of the fascists.
In my worst dreams I didn’t think so many people just wouldn’t fucking care
What an obscenely terrible headline.

I can assure the legacy media that Democrats are not looking to be politically targeted, manhandled, handcuffed, arrested or indicted.

The handcuffs are a symbol of authoritarianism, injustice, intimidation, and government abuse. Nothing more.

billionaires and corporations are successfully replacing U.S. journalism with shallow engagement chasing garbage and right wing propaganda, ever-narrowing the window of acceptable discourse in a country obsessed with artifice and money
