Lying works because our schools don’t teach critical thinking anymore. They are so obsessed with rote, bullshit memorization that there isn’t any room or time left for critical thinking

Yeah, the Republican party had a strong progressive wing before Nixon. Lincoln, Teddy, and Eisenhower were all progressives by modern standards.
I think the biggest difference is that it is far easier to recite a static speach he has practiced 100 times than it is to dynamically adapt to a live debate.
My dad would get mad at me for sitting too close to the tv or for not recognizing people. They never thought to have my eyes checked until my Kindergarten teacher had the school test my eye sight
I never expected to see ‘cringelord neostalinists’ portrayed as being heroic, but here we are, and honestly, I don’t hate it. I’ll take communism over fascism any day.
I think it is interesting that southern Republican states think they are “pro-life” when they have traffic fatality rates 10x higher than countries like Switzerland, Sweden, Icelans, Japan, Korea, etc and yet they get so angry whenever progressives question their pickup size or talk about saving lives through safer road design and better urbanism.
Anyone that fights against vaccines or safer road design and smaller vehicles is NOT pro-life: they just hate women.
Only if you include their retirement savings that has to cover their aging healthcare costs. If you are earning a pension in your country and have free healthcare then you can’t directly compare American salaries and networth.
It gets further muddled when you factor in how shitty American cities have become. Americans have chosen to have higher wages and endless urban sprawl rather than build public transit and make their cities great places to live.
Journalism is all but dead. 6 conglomerates own 95% of our media and now “journalists” P-hack whatever data fits the narrative they are told to push.
You know how sometimes a movie is so terrible that it becomes good? I feel that way about Musk. He is so unbelievably stupid that it is honestly sort of amazing. He has all but destroyed Twitter and now he has dealt mortal strike to Tesla by opening endorsing fascists who hate electric cars. Simply amazing.
