y'all act like they haven't invested BILLIONS of dollars and 30 years to get to a point where they can tell people literally anything and they will believe them. They have waged a protracted war on science, on education and on journalism. Really they've waged a protracted war on critical thought.

You don't have to make a case when you teach people no matter what you are always right and anyone else is always wrong. Then you can feed people bullshit and they'll not only eat it, they'll ask for more.

So please stop with the 'well they just have to make the case' the Republicans don't have a case but they've worked REALLY hard for a really long time so they don't even have to make one.


The Democrats do, and making cases is hard. Thinking is hard. Democracy is hard. And all of it takes time and effort. But if you don't allow for that you're not a democratic society anyway. That's the risk.

(That's why baseline a third of people want authoritarianism. They want to be told what to think and they want to be relieved of that burden no matter the cost to themselves but particularly to others)

Most of all, the very systems in place to combat this shit y'all can't be bothered to understand and think are 'too hard to understand,' 'too boring' or 'wypipo palace intrigue that doesn't affect me'.
