Could we get a TL;DR?
- The_Sasswagon ( @The_Sasswagon@beehaw.org ) 12•9 days ago
Okay all done TL;DW:
Q: Are Americans stupid?
A: No, just not engaged or educated in matters of politics.Q: What about the decision makers at the DNC and Harris campaign?
A: Yeah, they sure do appear to be, or more charitably, in the pocket of big business interests while attempting to be R-lite.Q: Okay, Liberals, specifically pundits and media?
A: More defensive than stupid, they got the campaign they wanted but lost and don’t want to take any responsibility.Q: Republican leadership and media ecosystem?
A: Some are, others motivated by racism, others money, and onward, you know the stuff, it’s the normal list.Q: Is the show stupid along with their viewers?
A: Not stupid, misjudged the threat of Musk and Ben Shapiro types, clearly left leaning media and viewers should be shifting gears and approach to better reach disaffected Americans.Q: What do next?
A: Prepare for the worst, push for the best. Connect with people in real life. When the bad things happen that we know could happen, don’t brag, but draw attention to the fact that there are people out there who knew this bad thing would happen.TL;DR: Nah people aren’t dumb and that’s both good and really depressing. Be good to each other and reach out when you need help.

Mostly no, but they are very ignorant of politics and what is happening in the current political landscape. Most people just want more money or lower prices, and that’s exactly what Trump promised them. They didn’t pay attention to everyone who said “Trump will not help you”.

no not everyone is stupid but lots of people are, i.e. dems, republicans, liberals, leftists, some more news themselves. focus on community building and reaching out to people who are less informed especially as the many traumas of this administration become realized. good video.
