Trump didn't invent the extreme intolerance of the current left. That’s a fact.
What extreme intolerance of the left? Woke on cxampus? Not in real life.
From the 00'ies, gradually increasing with a peak around 2018, the woke agenda, in all society was increasingly more aggressive in it's attitude. Perhaps I'm just an old fart and because of that I have been a witness to the change over time. Just the style of communcation.
But woke on campus is an actual problem with potential serious long term consequences. Because that's where students are supposed to get their well rounded education preparing them for adulthood. Gender theory just isn't. I know plenty of women who did gender studies as a huge part of their entire education. Which is odd for a fringe theory of, what should be, an obscure branch of philosophy, at most interesting for philosophy specialists. It's the same deal with all post modern studies. It's not science. Talking about them as if it is science on par with phrenology, eugenics or scientific racism. All of those pseudoscientific fields of studies led humanity down a catastrophic and dangerous path. So it matters.
The thing with being progressive and liberal is that we tend to win out at the end. That unfortunately has a tendency to create arrogance. Which can go catastrophically wrong when the progressives all hitch their wagons to an issue that is just bonkers.
Let us all not forget that eugenics was pushed by liberal progressives. Same deal with communism. And oddly enough, also the first one of these, the witch hunts. Yes, the original one.
Extreme intolerance is what the right is famous for.
Yes, which is why the latest aggressive wokeness is so out of character.
The 'left' might be intolerent of the right's intolerence.
Not this time.
Nor is the escalating leftist rioting a fantasy.
It absolutly is fantasy. I was at the 'hate
amerika T
RUMP raliy' today. NO rioting just a lot of noise and flags. The maggots didn't even show up. Escalating opposition, but still no riots.
This IS what democracy looks like.
Oh, stop it. Yes, most people are well behaved and don't do dumb shit. But both of you read the news. The reason we see less of it now than we did 2010 to 2018 is because woke extremism has died down. Woke is dying.
Its not so much a vote for the Republicans, as against the Democrats
That is your problem right there.
You can think the Dems are wrong. But when you think the dems are evil, you've been brainwashed by Murdock and FauxNews.
The Democrats
are were just as civic minded as the Repugs. (My ol man was a democrat. On the school board, then town councel, then mayor. He was all about community service.) I say were, till Faux turned Repugs evil in opposition to Dems.
Dems are still civic minded (woke?). Repugs are now the opposit of whatever the Dems are, whatever it may be.
MAGots are too stupid to know the difference between 'Democrat' and 'democracy'. So they are willing to turn their backs on democracy.
Democrats are now evil, so democracy is not as important to them as owning the Dems.
But MAGA got played.
I don't think it's as easy as that. I think all of politics is changing. To put it a different way, we don't like slick well manicured politically correct politicians anymore, with a PR team to hammer home what the polls has told them to say.
I think what voters apreciate today is transparency. We like leaders who have a puls and are undoubtedly alive. We also like politicians who are able to get attention. Politics is increasibly becoming just another form of entertainment.
I think we're in for a generational shift in the style of how politics are done. I think Trump is the future style of politician. I think Biden's or Harris' problem wasn't down to substance. I think it was down to style.
I think Trump won on walk over. Trump was up against a representative of the old system.
Or to put it another way, if you manage to lose to a guy like Trump, then you've seriously fucked up somewhere. This is a guy who bragged in a recording about grabbing pussies. He still managed to win. Twice. Nobody in America is going to vote for a self confessed sexual predator unless they have a strong motivation to do so.
