When you're far right, even the center is far to your left

Til the cast of Sesame Street are left wing radical woke hippies

Well yeah. Duh. The far right fiercely demonizes the concept of empathy, therefore exhibiting and teaching empathy must be far left.

Their whole platform is to move money from the poor to the wealthy. They trick some of the poor into supporting this by being vehemently opposed to whatever the adults in the room want to do. Psychologically and mentally speaking, conservative voters are edgy, rebellious teenagers fighting against the tyranny of their dad without understanding that dad set the rules because they're incapable of succeeding without rules being set for them, so they vote for their older brother to punch dad in the mouth and remove all the rules, and then the older brother just says fuck you, cook your own dinner, and btw that xbox belongs to me now since I'm the man of the house. But at least there's no bedtime now, so that's cool I guess? And their little sister now just goes to school, does chores, and isn't allowed to go out anymore, but that's fine because that's her place, and if she wanted a better deal, she'd work hard to earn it, so she must just be lazier than them.

Yeah, nothing says "far left" like programs sponsored by Capital One and "made possible by" the WASPiest family foundations west of the Atlantic Ocean 😄

Stay aware folks

I feel like the last two words should rhyme.
Stay aware bears... No that's not it.
Stay awake flakes ... Bah... I'm all out.

I watched one PragerU YouTube video, just to see what all of the fuss was about. I have no idea if this is typical of most of their videos, but the one I watched was like this:

It features a group of teenagers, and one video covered one topic. The topic they covered was a controversial one where there is no clear right or wrong answer, but conservatives typically lean one way, while normal people lean the other way. I don't think it was about gun control, but I'll make it about gun control as an example.

Group of kids talking: "Did you hear about the school shooting?" "Yeah. My parents think the government should have stricter gun control." "Oh, my parents think the problem is that there's not enough security at the schools. But could guns themselves really be the problem?"

Scene changes to girl, talking authoritatively directly to camera: "No. Guns are not the problem. No school with metal detectors and armed guards has ever had a school shooting."

(I just made up whatever sounded like something that they'd say. I assume the fact I made up is wrong.)

And then, it's just like that, over and over. Kids bring up complicated issues, and some other kid just tells them the "right" answer, every time, giving the flimsiest explanation as if it's the gospel truth.

I would characterize showing these videos to actual children as a form of child abuse. Poisoning their minds and inhibiting children's ability to think for themselves.

Yeah it's like video homeschooling.

It's real.

And most likely, these are the videos they will be showing (along with the display at the White House they already have).

Becoming? You have army on the streets and people sentenced without trial. You don't have access to basic accommodations like maternity leave. You run away from ambulances... What else do you need?

This isn’t like WWII, where America swoops in to save the day against nazis.

No other super country will be coming for help.

You are on your own.

You want to be free of fascism in your country? You’re gonna have to do it yourself.

And somehow it still works. Let that sink in...

Right wingers can't do anything well, they're talentless loser hacks.

How are they in charge right now?

Never underestimate the opponent. In doing so, you are the who loses.

If they specifically need to mention it's a "good thing", you know it's definitely not

Holy shit - you just awakened a memory of watching that in civics class in high school in the 1980s. I had forgotten the name of it, but it left an impact on me.

The Dollop did an episode on this if anyone wants an audio tldr. Shit is crazy but makes sense of how we got here. Its still fucking crazy and not normal through.

We need a new pandemic. Fast. If possible, of a virus for which there is already a vaccine. We can at least reduce fascist numbers to a more manageable number this way.

I hear that RFK Jr's CDC cuts left no expert on Ebola in the government. No vaccine for that but it has a 90% mortality rate. Pros and cons.

Maybe reduced attention span can shield from traditional forms of propoganda?

Good news everybody

Came to put this here, always happy to find more Pebis Prager ytps though 🤣🤣

Something doesn't sound right, but my days of watching Schoolhouse Rock are enough decades behind me that I can't put my finger on it.

more?

Well they might be getting close to creating drugs for immortality, so maayyyybe....

America always has been for most of the world.

Gotta tell people it's a good thing. Their base is used to being told what to think. You can add that phrase after anything and they'll agree.

"Hey fellow Republican, we're taking your home and all your possessions. We're going to leave you penny less and on the street. This is a good thing."
