Also, to those in the opposition: focus, babes. Stop pulling the alarm at every turn and do your fucking jobs legislating so that when actual five alarm fires are blazing (like this current damaging power grab from Musk) they don’t get lost in the noise. 🔕 Legacy media profits on fear; reassess.
I recommend rewatching the Harris Trump 2024 presidential debate and remind yourselves how easily baited and moldable our president is. Bibi all “we should really listen to this Gaza idea,” Musk all “let me, a foreigner, access all of the US’s SSNs”—eyes on the agreeable people around him.
“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.
They run them bc people react to them the most.
If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.
It’s not easy and takes constant practice!
