And the far right are going to claim she's faking it like the disgusting people they are.

[-] rarely@sh.itjust.works 51 points 1 year ago

The thing the right fears most is the truth.

They fear not being in control. Whether it's control over others bodies or control over religion and government, or the fear of being a minority racial group, the one thing in common is they have to be the ones allowed to tell everyone else how to live.

Don't tell me what to do.

Did you read this? You comment makes me think you have. No one seems to be mentioning this despite how eminently reasonable it seems to be. Have you been sharing this link? I have been. I wish more people could read this.

[-] ProximaC@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I hadn't. Tanks for linking it!

My understanding of it (based on discussions with my mom) is that they don't fear the truth, they fear being wrong, because if they are wrong they then don't have an answer anymore and it is deeply uncomfortable.

The issue with this is that if you never acknowledge that you may be wrong, you can never learn.

They've been wrong for a very long time. They are still waiting for trickle down economic (reaganomics) to work. Its been decades and nothing close to trickle down has ever come to fruition.

Non-americans: trickle down is the idea that when we boost the profit of CEOs that money will "trickle down" to everyone else at the company. A laughable idea that has and will never work.

As the party of tax cuts for rich people, with 3 of the last 4 GOP presidents proudly cutting taxes for rich people, it has been interesting to watch the evolution of Trickle-down as the framing for these tax cuts.

Even when it was clear the money would only trickle down to yachts, the W tax cuts (biggest ever) were seen as helping main street by increasing investment. This is trickle down, without saying it.

By Trump's tax cuts, he was just saying I cut taxes. He didn't dance around phrases, he just said tax cuts for everyone and of course they weren't, but with about 18 other lies that day, people can't keep up.

The next GOP president will cut taxes for rich people. It is the only thing you can count on.

And by rich, we are talking yuge amounts of money, considering the GOP calls a family making $400k/year "middle class". Middle class isn't rich, we are talking about people who make a lot more than $400k/year.

The only people who benefit from voting red are the super rich who use their money to influence poor dumb dumbs into thinking that they too will be rich one day, despite only making under $100k/year.

Don't tell me what to do.

This is the actual Republican platform. The only thing they want, is to have authority over everyone, and for no one to have authority over them. We are the ones who fear being wrong. Republicans, on the other hand, won't lose a wink of sleep if lying gets them in power. In the pursuit of the 'right' people telling the 'wrong' people what to do, and in the pursuit of keeping the 'wrong' people from telling the 'right' people what to do, anything goes. Hypocrisy, lies, crime, election fraud, subverting courts, coups, false patriotism, false piety, terrorism, even outright murder... anything goes.

Know the enemy, spread the word to your friends and family (and maybe further).

something i recently learned is: you can change your opinion, this literally changed my life. if you feel your opinion is wrong, don't stick to it. stick to facts and science.

[-] alsimoneau@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Yes, that is the whole point of the scientific method: you can only prove that something is wrong. It's can be uncomfortable to realise that all our foundations could be destroyed at any time, but it is the only logical position one can hold.

[-] KpntAutismus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

this is the way.

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Which is why they are god believers

[-] rarely@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Which makes sense because god is a made up concept used by the rich and powerful to control peasants.
