Another report from the front line of the trade war (which is easy to win).quote:It was a very dark Saturday night in the middle of the summer in the middle of a year that is on track to be the wettest in more than a century. The wind blew over the farm, the rain came down and she heard the ominous pings on her roof — pea-sized hail, striking the still-fragile stalks of the only corn her husband, Chris Dykshorn, was able to plant before he took his own life in June. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/11/09/im-gonna-lose-everything e: While I was c/ping that article I spotted this headline

Many years ago, a poster on these very forums equated the occupy movement to an IRL version of the People's Front of Judea from Life of Brian. I've always got that impression from the DSA. Republicans might be monstrous, inhuman and morally bankrupt, but they at least can get behind a single purpose. It always seems like DSA and other grassroots progressive movements get co-opted by 100 different priorities which makes it impossible for them to shape a coherent single message and effectively promote their goals

Republicans aren’t a movement—they do as they’re told. It’s pointless to wait for the perfect opportunity: nobody’s going to do the work for you.

Its easier to organize authoritarians because they're actively looking for someone to tell them what to do/think. Theres definitely folks like that on the left but theres a lot more "critical thinkers", many of whom are actually no good at critical thinking.

Regressive conservatives are always more united because they want to go to the past, and there is only one past even if there's lots of ways to look at it. Progressives want to go to the future and there's a fuckton of possible futures.

There is no mythic everyone-has-their-poo poo-together bloc yeah i think this is part of it, the right wing is just generally more entrenched to begin with. they already have the money, they already have the power, and they have few, if any, scruples about wielding their power to maintain their grip on it. falling in line with those more powerful than you is a path of less resistance than trying to build something new.

And both of them only did slightly worse than Bush in 04? Im pretty sure that proves the exact opposite of your point, the 2012 primary showed very clearly that the R base really didnt want Romney, but they all showed up regardless.

I've had to say goodbye to people like this, talk to the family they left behind, seen the hole it leaves when they are gone. The rear end in a top hat in me is screaming 'you voted for this. Trump is your punishment. Were it not for your wickedness, this would not befall you.' I gotta take a break.
