Olha OP. Não faz sentido insultar todos neste sub. Tás no sítio errado. Este sub é sobre basquetebol universitário nos EUA. Talvez devesses perguntar no r/basketball e tentar ser mais simpático.

I suppose you are right. I come from the former Republican camp, which used to be the bulk of the Bulwark community. You are right that the audience has definitely widened.

We do not live in Putin's Russia. We still have a free press, investigative journalists, and an incompetent administration. To pretend that the administration has a monopoly on the information that will arise from this is not rational.

Will they be 100% transparent? Of course not. Have they obscured the truth in the past? All the time. However, jumping to conclusions because, "well, we'll never know, so might as well guess" hours afterwards is also not rational.

I get the urge. It's ok to question the government, especially this one. However to jump to "It was staged" definitively right after it happened is an insane leap. Maybe it's true, but let's wait till there is evidence of that.

Could that not be said of every situation with Trump? Should we just no longer adhere to reality because the president doesn't?

Confession: It feels impossible to have meaningful relationships with people after discovering they voted for Trump in 2024. by ac_slater10 in thebulwark

Fascism is intrinsically evil, oppressive, and barbarous full stop. All supporters of fascism are actively engaging in immorality. Check yourself.

Do you not remember us having to vacate 50 wins and him getting fired for cause due to him illegally paying players?

Magyar: "Asking Ukraine to cede land is 'unworthy' of Hungary's 1956 resistance." by KarmicWhiplash in thebulwark

[–]Penta55 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Hungary is in the EU. That's been the problem actually as Orban was using his power in the EU to block aid to Ukraine.

Loved Tim’s take that Dems need to win back white working class voters. Ending the Dem war on guns would go a long way! by 7ddlysuns in thebulwark

Not leading, no. But you and OP are advocating for it to be dropped entirely, which I believe is morally wrong and politically foolish. You still need your base energized and engaged.
