Why are the journalist bending over to Musk?
Because the left never does anything. They’ll whine and say this is unfair not how it’s supposed to be, that’s illegal. And that is as far as it goes. The right does shit and here we are. Only going to get worse and anyone who says ohbits only 4 years sure maybe till the next one.
You’ve asked two different questions.
- Why don’t the democratic voters actually riot
- First, riots are illegal. I think you mean protest.
- Protest what? He was just elected president. A bit more than the majority of the electorate made this choice so we all have to deal with it. It’s called democracy.
- He ran a relatively transparent campaign. So far, all he’s done is sign executive orders we all knew he was going to do. A majority of Americans voted for these actions.
- Why are the journalist bending over to Musk?
- Why aren’t they calling his nazi salute a nazi solute? Fear.
- I read an article saying Jon Stewart was the only one the mentioned Musk’s salute. I watched the segment and, while he did mention it, he did not call it a nazi salute. He tried to, in Jon’s funny way, make an excuse for what he was doing.
- I suspect there are legal reasons for not calling this a nazi salute. Likely defamation.
- There’s also people / organizations (like the ADL) who, for whatever reason, need to be kept in the good grace’s of these powerful people or who need to maintain their seat at one table or another.
Every single part of this comment just screams “It just wouldn’t be proper!”
And I’m sorry, but I can’t seem to care about what’s “proper” when half my friends now have reasonable fear for their lives, not just “comfort of living” just because they are lgbtq+ living in deep red country.
No one said anything about proper.
I answered the questions posed. I didn’t add any other context or inject my feelings into it. If you want to have a discussion about the ramifications of this person being elected, that’s another conversation. I’d be happy to engage with that and I’m sure you and I would be in agreement.
Because liberals are cowards.
Why are the journalist bending over to Musk?
Because performative protest like wearing pussy hats isn’t actually as effective as general strikes or direct action.
The McResistance fades because that’s all it ever was.
Because rules and decorum are what “good people” think is most important to protect rather than people and actual morals.
Funny thing about most leftist activist groups is they won’t take a hard stance because they are afraid it will dry up the money spigot by ‘looking bad’.
And of course the virtue signalling and purity tests that inevitable result in them become taking fascist stances towards groups they don’t like.
There was a lot more demonstrations and outrage during Trump’s first term. I think now everyone is just exhausted and over it. Dems got beaten pretty bad in the election, and are probably very demoralized after this outcome. Maybe it will add up to a landslide in the next senate/congress election, maybe not.
They weren’t beaten badly, it was barely a 1.5% margin. Electoral votes….different story. But even then, this illustrates that a few more votes in key states would have had a drastically different outcome.
I think they mean “beaten badly” as in “lost control of all three branches of government” not so much “Trump landslide vote.”
The person you responded to even said “Dems got beaten pretty bad” not “Harris got beaten pretty bad.”
By the metric of losing the house, losing the senate, losing the judiciary, and losing the presidency is a pretty deep blow.
I didn’t think “Dems got beaten pretty bad in the election” was open to mean all elections.
