  • Their central criticism is that people are lulled into more right-leaning positions by right-wing propaganda, which is true: the right wing has bought basically all media. Everybody takes marching orders.

    So, people are stupid, but this is a deliberate move: stupidity benefits the right.

    If by “appeasement of the right” you mean “accepting of the genocide,” I will fault no person for caring about what’s happening over there. If the democrats wanted to win, they should have let go of their psychotic, white-knuckle grip on the Israel military fund. It doesn’t surprise me at all that this severely weakened their bid for the presidency.

    That said, I can’t say we’re in a better position now with Trump. My hope for the people of Gaza now is either maga incompetence, or that Trump and Netanyahu make some kind of fascist quid-pro-quo deal not unlike the “Trump saves TikTok” publicity stunt.
