just some “no thread for em” various political tweets … 2/25 thru ?

It’s another example of how our media help the Republicans, consciously or unconsciously:

They (Republicans) get to trash America every which way, but somehow retain ownership of the flag, Mom and Apple Pie. Trump won largely by painting a picture of America as a hellhole, eternally victimized, weak, beset from all sides by far more powerful forces only he could stop.

For decades, Republican preachers have been saying their god just punished Americans for their sins, whenever some catastrophe hits us.

But let a left of center figure denounce our actual “sins,” our history of racism, genocide, slavery, our oppression of migrants, our endless wars and coups, etc. etc. . . . and they get slammed for being “anti-American,” or worse.

And, to make this asymmetry even more absurd: Republicans are virtually non-stop lying in their critique, or flat out hysterical. The leftist critique is slam dunk truth.

Only in America.

ever notice how the Americans who really hate foreigners also tend to hate huge amounts of other Americans?

ZN,

I responded to WV’s Van Gogh thread, to no avail. I think the spam blocker got me for adding links to his letters and museum.

Um, just in case: That would be Van Gogh’s letters and museum. WV probably has those as well, but I didn’t ask Alexa about them yet.

Regardless if you believe Bernie is anti-science, associating himself with Williamson is a major blunder, IMO. This is disappointing.

As I've been saying all along –
Bernie Sanders and Marianne Williamson are both whackadoodles with anti-science views.
Bernie pretends to be pro-science, but his anti-biotech views say otherwise. https://t.co/3PXCG8hVVx

Oh, i disagree totally. I think that would be like distancing himself from Rogan just because Rogan has some batshit crazy ideas.

Too much purism can really whittle down yer allies to zero.

I want her new-age voting bloc.

Williamson is a LOT of things. Some of them Good. Shes not ‘just-and-only’ an anti-vaxer. I think its a mistake to ‘reduce’ her to only that. All in all, I think she’s a more positive force than, say, 95 percent of Congress.

Well, I hope you’re right, but I don’t think there’s enough that’s good about her to outweigh what’s bad about her. Ultimately outside of perhaps CA, I think her support will do more harm than good. But maybe she can get those crazy rich white women to stop writing checks to Goop and start writing them to Bernie.

Centrist after Hillary Lost to the Idiot: “It was BERNIES fault. He didnt support Hillary enough. Dam Progressives.

Centrist after Biden Loses to the Idiot: “It was BERNIES fault. He didnt support Biden enough. Dam Progressives. Whats wrong with THEM…

Oh, and “The Russians, it was the Russians, again…”
