if you hit the arrow/share button, there's an option for "not interested" -- smash that liberally on anything you're not super keen on getting more of in the first week or two.

also helps to follow a handful of people you like. a few random ones that will probably help filter-bubble you well are crutches_and_spice, court0o0, and nurse.conner. feel free to remove if they're not your thing after a while, but having them on your follow list should at least get you exposed to other people that are what you're aiming for

so in november what will the democrats say is the reason russia hacked the election in 2016 then took an election off then hacked it again

We live in a post truth world: they won't even bother, just like Republicans never bothered explaining why Hillary rigged the 2016 election but didn't bother to give herself the win.

They will call you stupid for asking the question, same as when people asked why Democrats kept passing legislation expanding Trump's executive authority if he's a Russian spy.

The thing that (normally, when they're not committing genocide) makes loathe the democrats is exactly this. Everything they tell me isn't just a lie, it's factually untrue obviously without examination. And then they proceed to not only become hysterical over this obviously-untrue fiction, but at the same time take actions that show that they themselves don't believe it. Every step of the way just drips with contempt for you, the moron voter, who is not only not worthy of the truth, you're not deserving of a realistic fiction, and you're absolutely too stupid to notice that you're being lied to. And they do this constantly and about everything. Inflation, Turmp's "authoritarianism", this genocide, their "defense" of minorities... or even presumably their very raison d'etre, their opposition to the other party, in every instance they tell us that what we know to be true isn't, but if it was they've fixed it, all the while they do nothing or worse actually worsen whatever it is. I hate them so much and that's before you add in the indifference to murder (although I suppose it was always murder just with more steps).

No, the Republicans had a coherent narrative about a clash of civilizations. They lied and it was a stupid narrative that was ahistorical but at no point was the white house press secretary saying stuff like "Hurricane Katrina didn't touch down in the US and if you look at this graph you'll see flooded housing and displaced New Orleans residents is at the lowest level since 1989"

Nor did you see the utterly incoherent "gosh we wanna so something but can't," "why would we do anything, there's no problem?" and "Actually we've done everything we can, but the US is just a lil guy" poo poo the White House is doing now on foreign policy.

The way I remember it, Republicans didn't care about the truth yes, but they still acted like they believed in what they were saying.

Like, if you really believed Saddam was six months away from nuking Dallas, and the UN are all mincing pantywaists who love Saddam too much to do a real search for WMDs, then yes of course you invade, depose his government, and look for the nukes yourself. Anything less is suicide. It's just that if you showed them evidence they were wrong, they completely ignored it: "we've already decided to believe the WMDs are there, so no amount of proof will change our minds, and we're going to act on it anyway."

Meanwhile if Dems really believed everything they say about Trump then at minimum they shouldn't have been working with him to expand executive authority and the police state, and frankly if they really believe he led an insurrection, well they hanged John Brown so...

I guess the closest thing you could say is we were always going to invade Iraq and 90% chance of invading Afghanistan no matter what and the demands for the Taliban to turn over a Bin Laden or for Iraq to disarm were just theatrics.

In the same way the stories about Biden saying cusses and shaking his fist as Israel behind closed doors are theatrics, but they were implemented in very different ways.

E: yeah or you could say both operate on narratives disconnected from reality, but the Bush admin used their narrative as a justification to actually try and inact the world they wanted. The Biden admin seems to think that the narrative is the world.

I think my favorite moment from the Bush era (well favorite oh my god wtf moment, favorite moment overall is of course the shoe throw) was when Colin Powell went to the UN and, among other things, claimed Saddam had a Hollywood fantasy WMD from a movie they watched.

Trump being both authoritarian and lazy, golfing too much, taking too many vacations is loving mind boggling.

I mean your PMC dem would prefer if Trump did his homework, stayed at his desk, and was a busy little bee enacting this “authoritarian” agenda, but these are obviously contradictory for the non Calvinists.

Right, and Saddam cooperated with weapons inspections. The reason I don't think the US invasion of Afghanistan was guaranteed is because the Bush government didn't actually want to destroy Afghanistan. They wanted wars with Iraq, Iran, and North Korea.

Yeah that's how you know the demands were theatrics.

Serbia also capitulated to every Austro-Hungarian demand in 1914, but the demands were for domestic consumption to convince their own population that the war was defensive, you just need to make it look like you offered the implacable enemy a way out.
