Why do we waste time pointing out hypocrisy [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.', 'Backgroundurl Avatar_Large', 'Nickname', 'Joined', 'Created_At', 'Story Count', 'N_Stories', 'Comment Count', 'N_Comments', 'Popular Tags'] Date: 2023-02-19 I am enjoying watching the house dems just cut to the chase and ask GOP where the witnesses are where’s the receipt. Why do we waste time calling out Fascists as Hypocrites — that’s the whole point. Their people know it is a lie, they know it’s fanfare to get away with murder. That’s the sick joke. That’s the false Christianity, that’s the false America First, that’s the false declarations of the sovereignty of American freedom. When they brag about “Owning the Libs” this is the point — progressives are the punch line, you are the idiot for being dumb enough to go into the Chinese finger trap. If we want to convert people to our side — Simply state what you want. Demand that you get it. Don’t go into the finger trap — avoid name calling. Why does Bernie Sander poll well with Trumpsters??? I want healthcare for all — how will go give it to me. - when they respond call out the lie in the plan — demand results. I want my daughter to live free of rape and abuse — demand it. They blow up media about trans people in locker rooms and own the image. It resonates with people and they steam roll over us. Personally i don’t care who is in a bathroom and who is naked in front of anyone else — why are we so afraid of our bodies — naked bodies isn’t the issue — rewarding predators and rapists is the problem. That’s the truth bomb and image to attack with — the data is there — what are we going to do to create a safe society — demand and don’t back off the demand — that’s where we fail — the power of the GOP is that they don’t give up — and that works — they just keep fighting, their fight degrades and ruins the soul of the country — so if you don’t back down from the progressive fight — if you keep the demand and worship at the alter of diversity — the opposite will happen: love, community and change will come. I see kids who are completely in-bedded in trumpist fascist culture — openly being self expressing gender-less and the parents unaware or unable to alter the matter of fact, no big deal self assertion of the kids. So I see in real time, real life stuff like this which is counter to the fascist landscape: A cop’s kid who wears ballerina skirts and football jerseys, a rabid hunter “man centric” trumpist father who’s kid wears finger nail polish and draws gender neutral tattoos on himself. these kids are under 10 yrs old and it is so matter of fact self expression there’s nothing the parents are gonna be able to do to change it. And the kids aren’t rebelling against the parent — if a punishment or rule is erected — they just find another way to self express. They don’t care that the parent is an idiot — they know the parent is an idiot and just keep expressing who they are. I had a kid play poor white southern gangster rap for me the other day with the youtube clips — it is obviously repackaged black rap. Obvious — the white rapper knows it, the racist viewer knows it, and it is a perpetuation of underclass stagnation and self deprication, from the images, the lyric and the gray scale of all the images. It was all white on white violence and stupid white people robbing and cheating one another “caught up in the game” . Show these people strength through diversity with images of where they are and it all changes. Eugene Debs was far more popular than has ever been given credit. His supporters were in the 100’s of thousands. Southern plantation society was all about the lie as a billy club to maintain white power — it was obvious. All in the Family, Happy Days, Laverne and Shirley etc …. was white people pointing out the lie in a very polite way — everybody knows it’s a lie. Mush liberal rebellion. Everybody knows the performative GOP is lie — the actors the supporters and the reaction to it. Pointing out the lie is a noble waste of time. What do you want, how do you frame it and skip the whole lie finger trap. Once you do that, how do you measure and know the other side is buying what you are selling. that’s where change tips over the tipping point.
