Conservative MAGA Cults are a dead end! Choose Books Over Looks: Education thread for Trump supporters to turn them into unapologetic socialists

[Ringo]

US politicians are completely uninterested in the opinion of the people, and those who disagree with Biden are either brainwashed or arrested, says Fox News.
According to Hillary Clinton, those Americans who do not share the position of the Democrats are in a cult and urgently need "deprogramming".

Trump and his surrogates pump falsehoods into the news cycle, the goal is not to convince the public of “alternative facts” but to make people throw up their hands in confusion and give up, thinking, “Who even knows what’s true anymore?” Instead of worrying that they are attempting to distract and confuse us into oblivion, figure out a trustworthy media diet that makes sense for you, and stick to it. From there, be vigilant, and take action where necessary. I promise this will help manage that pesky feeling of inevitable doom. Take care of yourself, but also make a sustainable commitment to remaining productive. Angry energy without purpose will only turn into despair.

Conservative Postliberalism Is a Complete Dead End

Conservative intellectuals have recently levied a “postliberal” critique of the status quo, claiming to defend ordinary people against elites. But the solutions offered are little more than reactionary nonsense dressed up in populist rhetoric.

I had to shut off the news

It looks more like you shut off your brain, not that you had much to begin with

Pick something and then do something. That can be small, like a visit to the representative-contacting resource 5 Calls, or big, like bringing food and water to a protest. Trump’s war on the truth takes aim at the foundation of all efforts to fight back. Staying informed is the bare minimum.

We’re currently in a vortex of extended emergency. Every day feels like waking up from a perfectly boring dream to the realization that you’ve been sleeping on the cliffs of Mordor; giving this moment anything less than your all is the equivalent of hitting the snooze button. Trump is waging a war on freedom, equality, and the truth. It’s only slightly melodramatic to state that the very bedrock of democracy is under siege. Resisting the pull of Trump’s chaotic brand of authoritarianism is going to be long, and hard, and more painful than you can possibly imagine. Unfortunately there is no viable alternative. Do not keep calm and carry on. This fraught moment calls for a paradigm shift in the way we think about participating in politics, and if the history of democracy has anything to say about it, the only American choice is to continue fighting.

beer is a good thing, here's yours, but sandwiches make you fat. i only like to hang out with skinny folks. and i'm a male and not your *****, unless you're a hot male muscular blond, then i'd let you dominate me at wrestling

What I know for a fact is that there is no one right way to resist Trump. Some of us will march, some will call Congress, some will write stories, even when we’re tired. And for some of us, our very lives are complex and beautiful acts of resistance.
Maybe yours is, too.
Maybe your resistance is to live. Live big and loud and joyously and fiercely. Live authentic to who you are. Refuse to be silent. Refuse to go away. Refuse stereotypes and limits.
Because you being you is the most powerful kind of resistance of all.

My fellow resisters, there’s a lot to fight these days, and you can’t be everywhere. You’re not Jesus. Or a Kardashian.

So today, I want to talk about the importance of a small act of resistance that you can pass on to others. I’m talking about the importance of educating yourselves through reading, and about sourcing that reading to find out whether it came from a reputable outfit or was cooked up in an information meth-lab by paranoid, three-toothed internet trolls during masturbation breaks.

WTF is "Jacobin.com"? Isn't there enough chaos in the world without creating a conspiracy over books?

Sometimes, it’s easier to go down a rabbit hole of absurdity rather than take responsibility for your own fact-checking.

But here’s the thing: this moment in America didn’t just happen overnight, y’all. I’m sorry to say that, like my cousin Ray-Bob and public nuisance arrests, America has a bit of a record. It’s important to know our nation’s history, and not just the warm and fuzzy bits, so you don’t get duped by the world’s worst blood-gargling metal band of orange-faced demagogues playing the same old, tired set list of industrial noise, calling it America’s Greatest Hits, and trying to convince you it is sweet, sweet music. Read the Constitution. Read the Bill of Rights. Read history. Our full history. That thing I said about bias? It exists there, too. So educate yourselves about facts like Jim Crow. The Chinese Exclusion Act. The Trail of Tears. Read about our habit of nativism and xenophobia. Read for facts but read also for context and understanding. Read backward in order to move forward, resisters.

The best part? You can find everything you need at your local library. Libraries: serving the resistance since forever. Seriously, libraries are The. Best. Don’t even bother fighting me on this one. You will lose.

You know what, y’all? Just read everything: Newspapers. Books. Comics. Plays. Satire. (Satire is what we used to have for outrageous, good-times laughs before reality started dropping acid on us, and it felt as if we were all working the triage unit of the Reality Tripping Tent at some alt-universe Presidential Coachella. Seriously: Sometimes I’m not convinced Kellyanne Conway isn’t a hallucination left over from the time I took three Motrin for bad cramps at Bible sleep-away camp and kept whispering, “Shh, I am a pillar of salt. Keep running…”)

Obviously the jacobin website isn't just in the analyzing business. It's a source for international left wing propaganda.

One thing has become clear, Biden, Democrats and their stupid shit policies ARE the problem not the solution.
