Giridharadas: The Past Few Years Were A Revolt Against The Future | Morning Joe | MSNBC
No future for America with these newworld order socialist in office
dude they are democrats they have very little order . that saying that getting democrats to agree is like herding chickens is true. i would not ever say world order when the democratic elected debate to decide, what comments like they are socialist or far left is is tax dodgers paying trolls to say stupid things. when IKE was in office 8% of labor worked for a fed paycheck one way or the other . the top tax rate was 91% corp tax was paid at 65% the feds used anti trust all the time as a nation we built the biggest highway system on earth we as a nation where number one in everything wage standard of living union membership the production of goods trade everything. Ike said who and what to avoid . and we should have listened . because turned out Ike was 100% correct . the g o p was sold by nixon to the far right super rich and they screwed everyone but themselves .
How long can the fall be ready?
Only you’re getting richer
Media lies again
Hope “getting rid of religion” was included. The last four years has highlighted the toxicity and lies of religion.
Social media is the worst thing to happen to humanity in a long time.
Hunter hunter where’s hunter and durham report
trump was tried by voters he never won the vote . the real winner of the 2016 election was putin.
Now america has no future enslaved by the newworld order
Talk about inciting violence
a prison riot is people fighting for what they believe in . they are criminals . fighting for your right to break the law is in no way anything but wrong. its should never be respected ever . its a bully being rewarded for being a bully. the election system needs to be the most votes win. not a person like putin gets to install a person like trump. the electoral college is a super power to bullies. we need to use the popular vote.
I don’t get why Mika said that. Joe nailed it perfectly and Anand started it. There is no other way. The mind set must be anti-bullying. Not consenting for peace and weakling stuff but rather fighting. Fight isn’t you trying to balance things.
trump deserves what ever the courts decide he deserves after a trial .we are a nation of laws . most get trump is a criminal but we need to just turn it over to the courts. the congress will wast time on him and we need some things that are more then pay back. keep in mind trump never got the most votes and was allowed by an 1804 electoral college . never by the voters . we the people are not to blame for trump. and the words we have bigger fish to fry work for me. if he is jailed fine if not dont care that much . no one like him will ever get the most votes . if we used the popular vote problem solved forever. self rule by and for the people for ever .a change is needed but trump is not at the top of the list he is done. using the popular vote needs to be the rule. not the electoral college .
Many Republicans may well begrudgingly respect those who stand up and fight for what they believe in; they don’t like the politicians who don’t call it for what it is or who never answer questions. That may be why they supported Trump. He lied all the time but did it with such conviction almost as if he believed it himself so in a way they heard something they could relate to and respect. They watched the equivalent of Homer Simpson, a man who has no filter between thought and speech. How were they to know their president wasn’t choosing to be painfully transparent about his racist and bigoted beliefs so as to connect with them but because other peoples opinions, feelings, or their very existence just don’t matter to him. Everyone is less important than him and the less you look him the less you matter; hence his disregard for coloured or poor people.
Trump does deserve free medical and free security , in prison .
Trump deserves prison not a pension
trumps done he should be charged with treason and moved over to the courts . the government needs to be based on success again. not some pr loud mouth . thats like the joker from the batman comics. lets get past the want to be moron trump and start all of us voting that can vote so we get better to vote for then the fascist trash that has infected one of the two major parties.
This piece is so sadly relevant. Only the haters in America (GOP) seem to have fight.
Reminder that impeachment after office is a thing .it was done to make sure we do do my give pensions to insurrectioinists .trump deserves prison not pension, impeachment is important .
Would someone start the go fund me campaign to hire the best class action lawers to sue Trump for damages to the capital building .then we also sue for the extra security expenses his use of mob violence caused .
we need to vote in great numbers not fight . elections replaced fighting in our nation . we need to use the popular vote and not the electoral college .war and uprising is the failure of government to function. we saw that on the 6th. its a loser done by losers. not here ever . just every one vote that can vote. let people like stacy abrams teach the non voters that worked very well not so much about party but why you should vote and the outcome of your vote if you win an election.
the main reason democrat liars have rigged american democracy is because their guilt projection problems and their rigged rule authority is not respected by america and they have no chance to win fairly or honestly with intelligence or their ideas. they steal cheat lie rig subvert deny ignore cover up because even with all their media managed abuses they cannot speak in any way for america. they have to censor and silence the truth, and are always scared and insecure about what that means. lol.
The “Fight” issue is this; when Republicans force a particular narrative, everyone is on board immediately. The exact wording comes from every mouth, pundits, politicians, spokespersons- literally everyone reinforces the narrative very effectively. It becomes truth, no matter how untrue it is, Republicans are masterful at making lies into “truth” as far as their voters are concerned.
We on the left, are more measured, reasoned and independent thinking, we frame our views in myriad ways, our messaging is less direct. We roll our eyes rather than gird our loins for media battles. I know what my elected officials values are, I can always trust them to vote for our shared values.
I have an excellent memory, in 2015, the 24 hour News Networks created donald trump , CNN and others reported every word, every eructation, as if he was incredibly important. They GAVE him massive amounts of free campaign coverage, just because people would watch and advertisers would pay. Then they were shocked and appalled when their creation won.
Because the news cycle is corrupt in its cynical self-serving profit driven actions, we should have been focused as Democrats. Businesses fail when they don’t change along with their competitors. If we stay complacently non-confrontational, because we are less cutthroat than our opponents, this horror will rise again. It will be our fault collectively. We need to fight more effectively. We almost lost our Democracy, it is our failings that allowed this trump trash fire to blaze away while we wrung our hands and shook our heads.
