  • May be unpopular opinion but I think this strategy they’re going for of appealing to Republicans may work to get real change.

    In the past we’d offer an olive branch and the republicans would burn the tree down. However if they can effectively split the GOP into republican vs MAGA, maybe the republicans will be less evil or ignorant towards legislation. Enemy of my enemy is my friend.

    If they can jack knife the republican party, maybe it’ll move the whole left/right system away from the extreme right and let us stop pretending the alt-right cult deserves any official respect or recognition.

    I’m not advocating for letting the right do whatever they want or drag us down. More like I wanna coax them towards the most basic of basic of decency so we don’t get literal threats to democracy anymore.








  • People like Mr.Beast gain their massive success from producing overstimulating content that attracts a forever young audience that doesn’t recognize the basic manipulation and scams that he employs.

    This is what politics would turn into if we earnestly let kids vote. Manipulating child audiences is practically a science now.

    Even discounting that, in 2016 when I was 16 I was a “both sides are bad” centrist type. I simply didn’t have the roots to consider how things like basic public policies would affect me personally. You need some grounded experience in order to realize that the things on screen will affect you and your community directly.
