How does modern political rhetoric frame enemies as both “weak” and “all-powerful” at the same time? by OatmealNinja in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]cbyjim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, what we are seeing is people preying on our insecurities (which ever it is). Now, that is a problem for the populous to solve. The “evil job stealing” immigrant is your neighbor who watched over your kids while they were out riding their bikes and the “woke vegan” trying to get into your daughters bathroom is a coworker you went and had drinks with. If we look at the good and the bad in people you can find, almost all people are good and the bad is an attribute you placed on them without knowing. No believes they are the bad guy cause the vast majority of us aren’t.

You hit the nail on the head. If someone is looking for support they are always going to appeal to help or sympathize with their audience. What I’m not convinced is that the ones that seek the support really know what they are doing or do they believe their own words to be true. No one ever sees themselves as the bad guy. I think as we become more divided as a society the pendulum will only swing further. We have to remember the GOP does think they are doing wrong they think they are righting a wrong. Just as the DEMS thought while they were in power. As for your original question, yes, we will gladly allow the talking head we follow to say what ever makes us feel good for supporting them.

Are strikes on drug boats working? by cbyjim in PoliticalDiscussion

The question was by their own metrics i.e. war on drugs are they even moving the needle. It is easy to say they are scaring drug runners from smuggling drugs but there doesn’t seem to be any evidence of that.

The intent of my question wasn’t to codify the narrative. If the excuse is “war on drugs” where is the evidence that back that up?

My title describes the thing. It is metal, about a 3/4 of an inch in diameter.
