Reelecting Trump is the US equivalent of Brexit - Lemmy.World

Most who voted for him are going to be quite surprised when it sucks for them too.

lol you’re underestimating the power of spin. goo policies have made things harder for the working class for decades. but they spin it so artfully that the working class strongly backs the GOP.

if things become worse for voters, trump will blame the left. and some far right nutjob will get elected by a landslide again.

Trump won because people didn’t feel strongly. They stayed home instead of voting.
trump is also being sentenced in a few weeks so likely he’ll just resign and we’ll get couch fucker, which was probably the heritage foundations plan all along.

American leftists need to adopt their communication strategy. It doesn’t work to have educated people lecture the anti intellectuals. They don’t want to hear it and they’ll have a knee jerk reaction against it. Study, learn and use their own preferred methods instead. Stickers, slogans, rants, fucking flags on oversized wankmobiles if you’ve got one. Whenever there is a direct consequence of the Trump administration, shout it immediately from the rooftops until people get it. Only talking about it years later at the next election will do nothing because it is already pushed away by the propaganda feed. Use their method of communication but keep it factual and don’t stoop down to their hatred and lies.

Price hikes? Thanks MAGA. Deportations of integrated citizens? Thanks MAGA. No more social security? Thanks MAGA. Leopards chewing on your face? WELL FUCKING THANKS FOR VOTING FOR THE LEOPARDS EATING PEOPLE’S FACES PARTY!
