If there is one thing Democrats need to consider more than anything else it is the mindset of Trump supporters and why they support him so fervently and that is simply because somehow he has persuaded them to believe he fights for them to the death every day (now, I and the logical mind know this is false, still, those morons believe it and deeply so).
In contrast, Democrats have this perception of mostly wilting like flowers in the hot sun when it comes to the same thing. And the majority of the fucking do!
And now, John Fetterman proves my point again by giving Boebert and her horrific family cover over the recent crime spree by her son. Yes, in past times, family in politics should be left out if they have not been actively involved or are things like young children. However, these are different times, and when we live in an age where political party-specific people do things like ridicule an elderly man for being attacked and beaten with a hammer while spreading lies about a homosexual affair, or refuse to offer the same courtesy, then this shows you what you are up against.
My point is, I keep pointing out Eric Alterman's book on the false narrative of an existing liberal media and how he points out how horrible the Dems are at the simple practice of "working the ref" and he is damn right. For example, instead of the Dems hammering John Stewart on a piece about Biden's age, why not instead hit him on why he does not do a segment on why the media keeps letting habitual liars come on the news and spout their lies over and over again?
Or, when has anyone seen a Democratic-leaning person go on one of these shows and absolutely explode when Biden's age comes up and demand to know why the media has not focused hardly at all when it comes to where this country was in 2020 to where it is now and especially the economy.
Or, pick up the argument by former staffer Cassidy Hutchinson over her questioning of where have all the Republican men been in their criticism of Trump and how it seems only the Republican women are willing to speak out.
Right now, there are just a handful of strong Democrats that are even approaching this and that is too few.
I mean, hell, where is Merrick Garland with his Bob Barr-like outrages over the US Supreme CT? I mean, how much fucking worse can it get when hardly anyone of importance (Joe Biden, Merrick Garland, Kamala Harris, Pelosi, et cetera) is demanding Clarence Thomas recuse himself. My God, his goddamned fucking wife has been actively participating in all of this shit and the Dems act like a goddamned porn star that can't rise a boner with a semi-truckload of Viagra.
Here is another one - how many times have we heard from Republicans that the "world is on fire" and how many times have you heard any person of influence come out and strongly declare, "If this world is in such turmoil, then why the fuck are the Republicans doing all the stupid crap in Congress that has nothing to do with this raging fire?" I mean, they are pushing impeachments that they KNOW will not go anywhere in the Senate. Just as about any of their phony investigations. So, while the world is burning, MTG gets off showing naked pictures of a man's crank on national television.
And where have they been on these judges that kept giving Trump more and more leeway than that of Faber College and Delta House? Not barely a word.
Yes, we get some responses to all of this, but all of them seem to be flaccid utterings of impotent retorts and/or from all the less effective people. I mean for fuck sake, Claire McCaskill? Get some people in there with some heft.
For years, my father would tell me that people just don't want "mean" Democrats and I partly agree with that, but this is a different era and at the least, we want some goddamn Democrats that at least appear to be fighting for us and they are just horrible at getting that message out.
I'm sorry, but I've been back and forth on Garland. At times he seems to be playing the long game and trying to remain how an AG should act, but damn, not like it's 1880 anymore, and if he can't step up his game, then he needs to go and fast. He's like the guy in a fistfight who wants to establish rules before the fight and then when getting kicked in the balls, he whimpers out, "Now cut that out" and then gets kicked in the ball again, because the first kick took out one of his testicles.
