When it comes to scientific research, medical care, education, infrastructure, anything the government involves itself in, the lib brain sees no difference between allocating funding and accomplishing the goal.
People realize these are vaccines for CANCER, right? Like, cancer was going to become a treatable disease because of this funding. Now your cancer will be a death sentence, because of RFK and Trump.
My honest answer to this, which I hear a lot (not picking on Jesse), is that Trump bullshits—he exaggerates, or garbles details of, things that are basically true, and tends to “lie” mostly when it concerns his personal honor (crowd size, sleeping with the porn star, etc)…
Yeah the hands up thing is a good example of the left doing this, for sure. I just don't think any prominent figure on the Dem side lies anywhere near as insanely egregiously as Trump, and I don't think it's close. Of course both sides engage in tribalistic motivated reasoning
The vibe shift: In 2020 this cat eating story would have been a huge loser for the right. They're either racist against blacks or immigrants. In 2024 it's a huge loser for the left. They're either supportive of immigrant criminals or black criminals.
What is the left going to do about it? Clarify that the crime is actually being committed by black Americans?
As a moderate, I say let them eat geese. Cats are a step too far.
The West is overoptimized for social engineering. We know how to change individual behavior. We can make people think it's really important to separate their trash, even if we don't know how to recycle most of it.
I will simply tweet into the void until Elon surfaces my shitty takes
We need more media of unambiguously great men doing unambiguously great things.
Lots of talk about why the unrealized cap gains tax is bad that ignores the best (unpopular) reason. Wealthy individuals are better capital allocators than the government and society benefits most by taxing them less.
