Indeed:
But they’re soy-drinking Cuck-Americans. Real me drive a pickup (that’s never had anything in its bed) and could take out four bicyclists riding abreast at once.
On another board we were talking about over-sized pickups in the US and one poster from Sweden had trouble grasping the size. I found an image of a Cooper Mini vs. a Ram 1500 and his reply was O… M… G…
So what’s next? Toll sidewalks?
Not even that big of a pickup truck.
FYI … That carsized.com website generates those images on request. You can request any two vehicles and get side, front, and back views.
Kinda fun to play with. Especially if your current car barely fits in your garage.
It reminds me of Putin’s desire to root out Nazis from Ukraine. An old fear resurected.
Nobody ever asks him to define communism, or to say what policies by the Dems are the most communistic. He’d probably cough up “Green New Deal”.
If you read Heather Cox Richardson’s work, she make it clear that this tactic goes back much, much farther than that. These same kinds of arguments were being used to disenfranchise Black voters in the post-Civil War era, when politicians riled up voters by claiming that Blacks were “socialists” who would vote to get “free money” from white people.
Oh, that’s entirely true, of course.
What’s different in the current era is the extent to which these tactics have been supercharged through use of the internet and its inherent ability to disburse propaganda with lightning speed, targeted where one chooses, by whomever wishes to employ the method. It’s a game changer, IMHO, and one we tend to overlook or minimize in this country.
Same old tactics, much better new tools. Used with wild abandon by Trump and his allies.
Vehicular diversity.
I expect soon we’ll hear about Communist in girl’s sports and conversions at schools.
Just wait. When Trump gets gas prices to $10 a gallon, that bicycle is gonna look pretty good.
We have 3 electric bikes and solar panels. Haven’t paid a dime for electricity since we got them in January. Takes care of all of our needs.
When they calculated how many solar panels we needed I said : “Add 3 more”
Some of us can see the writing on the wall. Trump can barely read.
I do not hear anyone in the US bringing up capitalism in a positive light these days. What ever benefits it has when well regulated, these bad things have become the face of it.
Similarly, to address @Ludovic’s followup post: the term “liberal” for those further left has become the term used by neoliberals and moderates, those who attack anyone for being progressive. The ones who always tell us we’re going too far when we discuss the basics, the one that seems to be capitulating to the fascism of Trump or too concerned with corporate interests to actually support the people.
Liberal isn’t the opposite of fascism or authorititarian for us. It’s a center to center-right group. It goes something like
Leftist — Progressive — Liberal — Conservative — Alt Right/Fascist.
