The amazing part to me is just how surprised liberals are that any of this is happening. We have never had an administration, good or bad, that is this coordinated and effective and unified while also having control of all branches of government. When the dems had control of the house and senate in 2010, he didn’t have the unity or control over the party like Trump has over the GOP now, and the supreme court was against him too.
Just think of what could have been if the tables were turned. What if the dems weren’t so shitty and passive? What if they actually preached for working class politics, and acted on popular policies. What if they actually codified abortion rights? What if they were an actual left wing party, and didn’t participate in and support anti-left wing and anti-working class propaganda for 70 years? Where would we be if a real left wing party had this much power?
Liberals will break the law, or create new laws, to stop the left, but think the law is enough to stop the right. The reason is that the Liberal cause is a “nice to have”, but the protection of neoliberalism is a “must have”.
I learnt that from Shaun’s video about JK Rowling, which is eye opening. Basically, nothing bad in her universe ever changes. Slavery remains, because the slaves like it, for instance. Maintaining that status quo is a “must have” for her. Having the heroes fight for what’s right is a “nice to have”, despite being the main story.
