Someone (who chose not to be tagged in this post) asked this question:
How are some of us aware and appalled that this (misinformation) is happening and others just go all in with the conspiracies?
What do you all think? What makes the difference?
Please refrain from just calling people stupid, I know it can definitely feel that way, but we can do better than that.
@RickiTarr 50 years of death by a thousand financial paper cuts can make people angry, hopeless and very willing to attack whoever is pointed at.
Ask yourself what 'big' things the gov't has done for the 'people' in the last 30-40 years. Beyond the ACA and extremely recently the IRA, I'm not really coming up with much.
Minimum wage being worth literally less than it was in 1960s is a pretty stark example of who the gov't is *actually* working for.
@lori @RickiTarr delivering helps, but even a party actively fighting for us would be something.
Vs Democrats incessant attempts to appease insanity. Ever since Reagan, Dems have accepted the 'govt is not the answer' mantra of the GOP/fascists and couch everything in that light.
