    Destroy Nazi’s yes, but there are way more people who are more like middle right who you can still talk and compromise with.

    One of the more infuriating things the Reich wing media does is conflate those two groups as well… We go after actual Nazis and then Faux News two minutes hate prime time cries all night about how “the left are attacking YOU! they’re coming for YOU!

    it’s so goddamn absurd but the Magoos lap it up and beg for more…

      The far right media ecosystem has tens of billions of dollars in subsidies, in no small part thanks to the hundreds of billions of dollars in federal contracts that their sponsors are afforded.

      Liberals periodically have the opportunity to cut these organizations off at the knees by defunding the massive privatization schemes that dominate the Federal Government - private prisons, military procurement, private rented real estate, SpaceX/Starlink, etc. But the folks who finally get into positions of power always think they can enrich themselves personally rather than risking their careers challenging Big Business financially.

      Curiously, conservatives don’t seem to have this problem. They’ll butt heads with the business wing routinely, secure in their position thanks to Christian popularism and ethnic nativism. But because Liberals don’t value their base voters, they prefer to pander to Big Business. This is also why the lose big elections, pandering hard to financial supporters while scolding any reluctant popular voter for not Voting Blue No Matter Who.

      A lot of people on the internet do that as well. “If you are not with me, you are against me”!
