The media pretty much entirely downplaying Bannon's position. Meanwhile the left is still busy fighting itself and trying to prove who was right/wrong.

Accelerationists won. We are in the darkest timeline

The dem establishment isn't going to do poo poo

They sat on their asses for 8 years and didn't do anything to help those with stagnant wages and insecure jobs due to globalization/automation

Trump is just going to ignore the March and then it will be forgotten by next week

Warren and the one dude who points out that free college is both doable and something people actually grok are the only ones I would consider pissing on if they were on fire.

Although Donald at least has that covered.

I mean it took a completely out of left field candidate like Bernie for something like free college to even register in the minds of the dem establishment

If it wasn't for Bernie Hillary would have never had "make college debt free" as part of her campaign

These people have little desire to make meaningful change.

I think it's time to talk about how there's now a religious belief among 100% of republican voters that holds that there isn't any such thing as, and there cannot be any such thing as knowable facts, objective evidence, or observable reality. It's not the fringe voters or "the base" anymore. It's every single one, and it's now a fervently held religious belief. No one's doing this just out of convenience anymore.

People need to start talking about this fact, and start talking about how do you deal with it.

They are only doing that out of hate for anything they see as liberal propaganda. Facts that paint their dear leader in a bad light are part of that

This has nothing to do with the new religion, however. Shutting down all the TV news stations will not remove this deeply-held belief among half the population.

Correct

The only thing that would work is the breaking up of the US

Republicans have only shifted further and further right over the years. "Education" "discourse" "reason" "facts" none of those work because they see the left as the enemy.

No. You ignored what I actually said.

The belief that's taken root now is that there is no such thing as facts, period. No one is able to know anything about the world. What happened in even very recent history is unknown, and can only be speculated on.

Oh well you're wrong

They believe in plenty of facts, just the ones that they get from Fox News/breibart/drudge report etc

I'm guessing you don't live in a red state, but to say that 100% of republicans are onboard with Trump or the federal government right now is patently false. I live in deep red Kansas and there are a lot of people who proudly proclaim themselves to be moderates or RINOs and work to keep the evangelicals out of public schools and fight against crazy laws like letting college students open carry on campus. I won't argue that by and large the Republican Party is very conservative and likely to get worse, but there are elements of it (at least at my state level) who are trying to hold back the crazy

Those elements have lost and they're still losing badly. What was considered the "fringe" wing of the GOP back in the 90s and 00s have pretty much taken over the party. These right wing extremists are being voted in

You think any republicans in Washington are going to oppose trump and his cabinet of crazy? They're all going to fall in line

the US is hosed imo

30% is being optimistic imo

But yes we're not going to make any progress because the parties and ideologies have become so divided

New Mark Blyth (and Margaret Weir) video that everyone should watch

https://youtu.be/vGiHiZyKuAE

Almost an hour long but drat good.

It really can't be overstated just how badly liberals hosed up. The economic progressive causes that leftists were supposed to be pushing have been picked up by far right parties worldwide and mixed with with all the predictable and despicable far right bullshit. It doesn't matter if they're lying about it (like Trump and the GOP) because people are so tired of the establishment neoliberal policies that they're willing to vote for the guy lying to them.

Morale is everything. The Republicans have been successful since 2008 because their voters have been more enthusiastic than Dems, and thus were better organized and had higher turnout in downballot election. Things are markedly different now and the most important thing is to raise Dem morale and demoralize Trump's supporters. Taking away his mandate and hammering that narrative that he is illegitmate and hated by the public is an important step in achieving this

Dems have no morale because they've failed to realize that we're in the middle of a possibly existential cultural war in the US

As someone else said the other day, dem leaders still think of republicans as their colleagues. Republicans think of and treat Dems as their enemies

The Tea Party started four months into Obama's presidency and stopped his agenda in under two years. The Women's March happened two days into Trump's presidency and had 10x the attendance of the initial Tea Party protests.

But we couldn't stop Trump immediately on day one so we might as well go home and give up, I guess

You're forgetting one crucial fact

The tea party had very large support within the GOP. The GOP used every bit of that momentum to their advantage

Will dem leaders stand up for the people and be as aggressive and persevering as people want them to be?

Here's the thing, if there's a legit civil war 2 then conservatives are going to win without any effort

Liberals have willingly disarmed themselves and shunned military/law enforcement positions

Meanwhile conservatives have infected all level of military and police. Those institutions are hugely conservative. The military is practically r/the_donald they worship trump
