Summary

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez warned that the Trump is deliberately overwhelming the public with chaotic news to induce passivity.

Citing Steve Bannon’s “flood the zone” strategy and historian Michiko Kakutani’s comparison of Trump to Mussolini and Hitler, she argued that Trump uses the internet to spread disinformation, much like past dictators used film and radio.

Urging people to stay engaged, she emphasized that collective resistance can slow harmful policies and that small acts of opposition make a difference.

    You have no right to call yourself creative until you look at a trowel and think that it would make a great lockpick.

        Cutting government waste and increase efficiency is almost always popular to most Americans. In the past politicians often talk the talk but never walk the walk. I disagree that cutting government waste and increase efficiency is easy at all. It is actually the hardest thing in government.

      Exactly. People need to stay focused. Trump and his henchmen are going to do everything they can to keep the masses fighting amongst each other while they rob us blind. This is what “class war, not culture war” means.

    You know why I’m burnt out? Because I don’t see hardly any Democrats pushing the fuck back.

    I see a bunch of Democrat voting for Republican bills knowing they’re fucking horrible. I see and hear a bunch of Democrats voting for his unqualified nominees and then taking about bipartisanship. I see Fetterman slobbing all over Trump’s toadstool supporting ethnic cleansing all fucking day long with not a single move to kick his stroked ass out. I don’t see Democrats doing fuck all.

    I can handle bad news, I can’t stand the spinless, enabling Democrats.
