Ask a democrat what they want and they say affordable healthcare, housing, education, social mobility, better work hours and wages; you know, better quality of life in general.
Ask a republican what they want and they'll say 'hurkdydurk I'm 'onna kill me some lib'rals durrr' like this guy. I literally think he may have drooled on himself while slurring that sentence out.
He added: "This is what many on the left will do, they'll take a clip of that and they will run with it and, all of a sudden, the statement that is that you want to 'kill everybody' or whatever. We all know that's not what you meant to get across."
They actually tend not to vote when it actually comes down to it. Trump was actually a bit of an exception because he was viewed almost fanatically.
If students ever actually bothered, the left would probably win pretty much all of the time. And this is a problem in many countries, not just the United States.
The right will always prioritize the old population (aka direct their propaganda mostly at them) because they know, for whatever reason, younger people don't vote.
Unfortunately these things are usually targeted, they know the demographics of the areas they choose to implement voter suppression tactics like what they did in Texas.
In other places too they can have 2 rules that seem innocent enough, but combined you see where it's going. Rule 1: no more than x number of ballot collection areas (some number too small to handle local capacity of ballots) Rule 2: ballots not counted by some time are illegitimate and/or allow the state government to step in and declare an "irregularity" which then plays off of New Law™ that states the state government gets to decide what happens to elections when an "irregularity" is discovered. These again are only implemented in places that have high Democrat enrollment or are majority black/POC neighborhoods.
How can anyone be on the side of the right and walk amongst those who, on average, more actively preach and wish for the deaths of people. Alvarez is serving up a BS pie. He may not have said it, but he can’t pretend he doesn’t know it’s a current sentiment in their stream. He uses Truth Social actively. They are the deluded ones.
It’s 2023. Stop being murderous, racist, and generally bigoted people. Let people and women make their own decisions. And quit efing overreaching, especially into families.
Tomorrow? What about all those mass shootings. These people have been encouraging each other in their various echo chambers to commit violence for over a decade now. Just look at the online cesspool known as 4chan.
You don't need to look at a shitty image board, you can load up Fox News, One America, The Babylon Bee, shit you can just load up Twitter and get plugged right in to your very own right wing grifter telling you what to be mad about and who you want to kill.
It's your very own Two Minutes Hate delivered by your choice of bland talking head.
I posted this story a few weeks ago, but it's relevant here, too. A few weeks ago, I was sitting with two members of a club I'm in. One, retired military, noted that some US bases in Turkey are restricting access to retired military members, and he expressed concern that the same policy would spread to bases in the US, essentially removing a benefit that they were promised upon retirement. Okay, I see his concern, and he mentioned no reason for the change in rule (also, I just read an article about it, and no specific reason is given).
The other guy: "It's those damn woke assholes. They ruin everything!"
So, basically, the right wing media tells the second guy to jump, and he doesn't even wait to ask how high. There's no conscious thought - we're hating woke people today, so that's who must be behind this change. It used to be black people, then it was gay people, now it's woke and trans people...they don't notice how they're being strung along.
It's insane. And scary as shit. The first guy was like, "Well, I don't know about that..." and moved on to something else.
