As Republicans, they know how the game should be played. They are expert at getting voters to support policies that actively hurt them, and thus do political analysis with cleaner glasses than the vast majority of democrats.

I don’t understand why they don’t use the words “tyrant” and “tyranny“ thus turning words the right has disseminated against Trump. Americans known what tyrants are. Lots of folks don’t know what ’despot’ means.

Every crisis is an opportunity. This is the moment for Dems on Capitol Hill to call a news conference and make clear: Not one dime to fund the federal government until Trump withdraws his unlawful orders and agrees not to send troops to occupy Democratic-run cities

The brave men and women who serve in our national guards must not be used as political props. This is a moment where every American must speak up and help stop this madness.

Really. The response is "What integrity? You prove each day you have none"

Have any elected dems actually used the word "tyrant" or "tyranny?" You'd think it would be required. It's a perfect opportunity to turn white wing framing right back on them.

It's only terrible news judgment if the goal is providing news. If the goal is corporate support for the administration's framing and goals, it makes perfect sense.

Can viewers sue for Fox lying to them like this?

Guys, every person you see on Fox News in a mask is just Robert O'Neill, retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. He's the former Antifa, former Gazan, former gang member. His eyes are very unique.

Yep. That's @nytimes.com in a nutshell

Maybe Trump is braid dead, so they'll ask the Supreme Court if that counts.

More specifically, it’s about to be run by someone who thinks we should give equal weight to the idea that black people are a subspecies underserving of equal rights, and those who disagree.

It's either a lie or Trump's push to fully segregate higher education.

A client once wanted quotes from a conversation entered into a document but instead of a transcription of that conversation, they sent me an AI generated summary. WTF?

and winning elections means letting people feel the pain of making volcanically stupid choices.

The problem with admitting that is these anti-trump conservatives would have to reckon with their part, over the years, in laying the foundation for today’s Trumpism.

Yeah but they’re still on in the primary issue - the dominance of white males.
Leonce Gaiter @leonceg.bsky.social · 3d
I am in a similar situation. However, unless Americans feel pain, the status quo seems just fine. How can anything change if there is no reason for it to change in the eyes of most?

Perhaps if Dems stopped prioritizing protecting Trump voters from Trump policies, those voters might get the point.
