I don’t even take issue with this meme in this post, it’s actually closer to reality than anything.
It’s the constant, daily “LOOK AT WHAT HE SAID AND LOOK AT WHAT THIS PERSON SAID IN REPLY” or other kinds of fake, delusional satisfaction-porn that we all spread and pat ourselves on the back for that bothers me. I don’t mind the propaganda, we need everything we have, but I don’t like how it’s being circulated in places where it’s just reinforcing people’s belief that we’re actually scoring points.
I feel strongly that if the average LemmyLefty were to see just how strong the country’s conservative base really is, and just how tuned-out and apathetic the average American voter is, any how many there really are, they would despair the way I have and sound just as angry and cynical as me.
And then hopefully, after the despair passes, they will start tackling it seriously like the real problem that it is, from a more realistic ground-floor than letting themselves get distracted over every identity-politics hit-piece and emotional appeal designed to make people lose rational thought.
