Thuggin Posted January 28 Posted January 28 Hakeem Jeffries is such a terrible Minority Leader ย It's hard to believe he even holds that position. That's the leader of the Democratic Party? Where is he? What is his opposition message? He should be everywhere. Why does it feel like Pelosi is still the leader of the party? 1 4

Many of these terms and ideas being attacked originated from leftist-leaning academia. As for bringing it mainstream it was twitter that would jump on cancel culture. Like even centrist Obama came out and spoke against this. Edited January 28 by XDNA

We (and I mean @Cruel Summerย in particular) need to mentally prepare for **** from a Butt to put his carpetbagging into action and try to begin his 2032 presidential campaign with a pit stop in the senate ย How do we think he's going to fare in Dearborn?ย Not as long as air remains in my lungs shall I allow Pete Butt to see himself seated in the Senate or anything else, let me get on that moving process so I can infiltrate his campaign and sabotage him ย by leaking everything to all local and state level press, and also call him a health insurance company court jester styleย clown to his face when it all comes crashing down and he has to move again and live out the rest of his days unelected and unfulfilledย 2

They will believe whatever Trump tells them, and they will be happy to see less brown people in public and more LGBT people back in the closet. ย And for the record, I would expect numbers to get higher. But I would love to be wrong so that less people suffer.

I kinda doubted it before this admin, but now that they're basically handing over all the soft power in the world to China, I'm not sure if that'll make it more or less likely Western "experts" have gotten so much wrong about China. If this past week has shown you anything, let it be that. China doesn't go to war and use brute force, they will just conduct good business. That so many Westoids sincerely believe this is the height of US/Western projection and propaganda.ย 1

noodlelymph Posted January 28 Posted January 28 1 hour ago, Gaia said: Actually yes. The leftists are the main reason trumpism is a thing. The desperation to label everyone a misogynist, sexist, racist, bigot has turned a lot of people off from caring at all. cancel culture is responsible for this mentality of fragile minded white people feeling "backed" into a corner to where they're damned if they do and damned if they don't.ย ย Every word has been watered down to mean nothing. You can be labeled a racist for literally anything now. It's nonsense. This has left to a large portion of the population no longer caring. ย And in general, Leftists are an insufferable breed that are literally not happy with ANYTHING. I logged on to TikTok and guess what I see? Leftists telling Selena to stop crying on instagram and donate all her money instead. It's insane. Meanwhile MAGA are making fun of her for it and mocking her for crying over "criminals" ย It's funny how leftists in this thread continued to parade around "Blue MAGA!" last year when the only people who are Blue MAGA are leftists who keep aligning themselves with MAGA.ย ย You guys literally termed "Genocide Joe" and a "Vote for Biden/Harris is a vote for Genocide" then come online after the election like "hey this isn't my fault I voted coconut!"ย ย Like lmao This is unhinged and divorced from realityโฆ holyโฆ all of this because some leftists rightfully got mad and voiced their concern about the deliberate murder of what is likely to be 350000 Palestinian people (in objectively the greatest atrocity against humanity in recent memory and most documented genocide in history) all to be *completey* ignored by those in power. and you all have the gall to blame those people instead of the leaders who continued to pledge fealty to a terrorist stateโฆย shame on you and everyone who thinks like this. Zero lessons learnedย 2 3

Relampago. Posted January 28 Posted January 28 I hate to be facetious but the conversations with liberals lately feels like S5 of Drag Race when Serena ChaCha was trying to deflect from herself flopping by saying "Everyone on my team did well!!" and then Coco comes in with "EXCEPT YOU!!!" ย Like, the entire room is laughing at you all and you're still trying to say leftists were the ones who lost the election by simultaneously promoting wokeness and cancel culture, but also being secret Trump supporters, when all we want is some healthcare with a side of affordable housing ย Ironically, the way liberals are still touting the "woke language ruined our chances to win!" is in line with how the Democratic Party's response to losing was to kill off more of their base by rejecting trans/non-binary people while Bernie and AOC made the clear and obvious point that you *can* support trans/non-binary people AND others, but you cannot only virtue signal with trans/non-binary issues for quick and easy votes, while throwing the working class under the bus.ย ย "Kamala is for they/them, Donald Trump is for you" was so effective not because of woke language, but because Democrats tried to use "wokeness" as shield to deflect from their inability to govern, people mistook it as them caring about a small portion of the population and not caring about the material issues they were facing daily. "They/them" was less important to that message than the "Donald Trump is for *YOU* portion, because Democrats have made it abundantly clear they don't even care about their base as is with their inaction and lack of response to Trump, let alone bringing more people into it.ย 3 4

As for bringing it mainstream it was twitter that would jump on cancel culture. Like even centrist Obama came out and spoke against this. Yes. I'm referring to the centrists who used it politically as a way to attack progressives in order to shift the conversation away from the economy and healthcare. It was the only area they could flex any sort of progressive muscle without pissing off their donors. The reason why it has become such an effective attack against the left now is because democrats fell into the trap of making it one of their central campaign messages. ย With that said, cancel culture has been around forever, pre-internet even, from both the left and right. Social media just made it more prominent in our daily lives.ย ย ย 2 1

Relampago. Posted January 28 Posted January 28 I kinda wanna watch this press briefing but it's a little too early in the day for me to get more riled up. I'll tune in for a bit but just watch the highlights later if it gets too frustrating.
