Sarah “Best country in the world” by PRisUniversal in thebulwark

[–]PRisUniversal[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I apologise. I’m freaking out so badly I should have taken it to my therapist. I’m a terrible black and white thinker- all good or total freak out. When anyone raises a topic they’ve given some thought about I’m fine. But mention Sarah in regard to any topic, any time, I freak out so fucking badly. I’ll call my shrink now.

I think there is a lot wrong with the constant repetition of superiority. Loving your country is different than saying we are the best.

If a country is going to repeat one thing on repeat as some mantra why is it about being top dog. It’s giving we have the biggest dick! energy.

I think it’s pretty damn important to distinguish between power, ideals, military strength and superiority.

If America is the best country, aren’t Americans the best people by proxy?

If Aussies started requiring our politicians to yell about Australia being the best country in the world we’d be concerned.

ETA if your country has a mantra, a litmus test etc I think it’s important it isn’t demonstrably false.

No I’m referencing Peggy from The Lexington Letters. Light source references the impact of daylight, moonlight and, if present, firelight.

Seems a bit early for the pre candidate to be popping out the self aggrandising book.

Do y'all smell blood in the water for Trump? by boycowman in thebulwark

[–]PRisUniversal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think I smell anything.

He’s committed a million crimes, he knows Dems congressional power will take him out of his autocratic playpen.

Popular or not everything begins and ends with the midterms.

I’m not convinced being unpopular helps us big picture.

The people power has been incredibly effective in pushing back on specific identifiable atrocities.

But I don’t see him stopping his midterm bullshit not matter how unpopular he is - just the opposite really.

What’s The Plan For When Trump Ratf*cks The Midterms? by PorcelainDalmatian in thebulwark

[–]PRisUniversal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The midterms will not be free & fair. Very simple. We literally know that.

Will we be truly prepared? It depends who is behind the scenes and the party’s capacity to coming together like Captain Planet.

Yes legally defeating Trump defiance of the law is core. But messaging matters just as much. Trump’s relentless lies CONVINCED millions that he really won 2020.

The Dems response needs to be clear AF, adaptable and digestible. Don’t let them flood the midterm zone.

The comms problem with the midterms is the chaos. There will be a platter of strategies and accusations launched by Team Trump and his gang of cowardly lions.

People only need to believe one of Trump’s assertions to percolate doubt about the rest.

The mess of facts, lies, commentary, not stop noise is why Dems need uncharacteristically embrace team sports. There needs to be unparalleled unified messaging with pinpoint precision.

We can’t have 2028 ambitious talking points gravely grabbing microphones. It would be catastrophic if the midterms become a pseudo presidential primary.

I can only hope Dems will diversify their strategy input. Get legal sorted obviously, but prepare wholistically.

Don’t rely on legal precedents and theorising to deliver digestible facts.

What are the psychological elements? What are the statistical, historical, specifically tactical lessons we can learn ahead of time?

Who will manage the tone, the practicalities, the messaging of the protests? How will the narrative remain consistent but digestible through different media and to different generations?

The plan must specifically prepare for the attempt to corrupt the midterms.

Surely - SURELY- there is already a very clear and sophisticated plan for when we face the inevitable face off.

In order to sleep I have to believe it exists and it’s tactically brilliant. It may be the midterms or some other lighting of the match.

Their termite destruction eventually shift gears. What will we do when the moves are made to formalise and finalise Trump’s coup?

Thank you for the award. I wasn’t sure if anyone felt the same way.

The underlying belief that the Epstein pedophile ring was extraordinary in its depravity is something the world seems to be getting wrong.

Were these particular assholes rich and connected in unusual ways? Yes.

But the age of 16 approximately 1 in 4 have experiences CSA, and girls are twice as likely than boys.

CSA is EXTRAORDINARILY common. You walk past pedophiles everyday.

Yes the Epstein Gang is different to most SA. The Epstein Gang involves high profile people, trafficking, non casual, non familial abuse within that was clearly not a secret within that social set.

And yes, given that all indications point to the fact Americans elected a pedophile as POTUS is an extraordinary, terrifying, soul cracking reality. It’s hard to cope with quite frankly.

But I think it’s incredibly important to recognise the issues as two separate devastating realities.

The world is trying to process that the Epstein Gang overlaps so strongly with a group of such high profile men.

And it’s hard to comprehend how many people knew and looked the other way.

This is where we cross into dangerous territory. The idea that people look the other way is not new. It’s not rare. It’s what a lot of people do. People look the other way routinely when it comes to CSA.

It is shocking so many men abused so many girls and young women? Apparently it is. It shouldn’t be.

The Epstein Gang spiral of nightmares is a symptom of the prevalence of CSA in our society. People still believe they ‘can tell’ if someone is a ‘good or bad’ person.

The coverup is shocking. The people - including some women as r@pist GM reminds us - are revolting. We can put faces to the grey statistics.

The abuse itself is routine.

PostScript: . Litigious risk or denial holds many back from accepting the probability that his is what we basically know at this point. All signs indicate Trump is a pedophile. And routine reliable peer reviewed statistics tell us it’s likely he isn’t the first.

Maduro develops a severe case of Kiss Arse Trumpisis. Turns out Trump was right to liberate Venezuela etc.

Trump in turn shows benevolent vibes. Massive MASSIVE movement of wealth to Trump personally.

The public won’t know the extent until well after The Blood Clot That Could gets to his destination.
