One of the worst things we liberals did, including me is not fighting this Republican rot at the start with the ferocity it deserved.
I remember during the Bush years, while republicans were infesting every level of government and calling liberals demons and Unamerican and enemies... We chuckled at them and laughed along Jon Steward how silly these republicans were, while sitting at home complacent. All our leaders kept spouting bipartisanship as the ultimate goal... Meanwhile Republican talkshow hosts were calling Democrats America's #1 enemy...
We didn't sense the danger and the massive damage their propaganda was doing to the next generation and to every level of government.
Now we've arrived at Trump... And fighting back now is infinitely harder.
It reminds me of climate change.... We saw the problems early, yet did nothing and now that we have to do something it's so much more painful and some of it likely unfixable.
But South Park showed us that Al Gore was a weird nerd who was afraid of something that doesn’t exist! hahaha ManBearPig he’s super cereal!!!
Fuck, I almost forgot about Southpark the grand daddy of bOtH sIdEs!! So many kids grew up regurgitating the both sides turd bullshit because of that show.
iirc. the South Park creators were republican voters. I have no idea how that fits with casually showing up at some gala high as kites on acid.
republicans and drugs, and of course thus hypocrisy
name a better trio
Not everyone. Someone did try to assassinate Regan after all. Bush too (in Kuwait)
I mean, the guy that tried to assassinate Reagan was trying to impress Jodie Foster, so I don't think he was a woke leftist fighting against Republican fascism.
