The administration showed their hand that they didn’t really care about justice or the rule of law by sitting on their hands on going after Trump for J6 until basically too late, and even then, in a purely performative manner. They did not care about the relationship between a literal attack on our democracy and justice and accountability for the powerful. Look at Brazil. Look at SK. Both orders of magnitude more committed to the project of democracy than the US Democratic party.
In not going after Trump the very hour after taking power set Trump up for victory by putting the full cynicism of the Democratic party establishment on display. Everything that happened from 2021-2024 is an inevitable result of this weakness.
The Democrats are at the core of the issues; but satellite to them in this regard is mainstream media, and their apologists and sycophants in social media. The DNC have cultivated a cultural worship of elitism. It spans all major “mainstream” news networks and also public broadcasting like NPR. Its at the heart of “podcasts” like Pod-Save-America (its almost ridiculous to consider pod save anything other than just more mainstream news).
So coupled with this rejection of Democrats their needs to be a rejection of their media and the frameworks they use around political issues. Its not just enough to reject Democrats as a party; we also need to reject their media enterprise.

I left the Democrats. I’m going to try and make some real change for the better. Everyone else should, too.

Merrick Garland is a fucking bitch. Glad to see his true colors instead of jerking off about a scotus that could have been
