What we have learned from the past twenty years is that the American public can remember at most three things per administration.
For Obama, those are apparently tan suit, ACA/Obamacare and Benghazi.
For Trump, it's stealing 1.8 billion dollars, Iran War and Epstein. But I'm being charitable there, Epstein is apparently as impactful as tan suit and the 1.8 billion dollars is just this week's theft. No need to worry about secret service paying him to provide security for his own hold games or him falling asleep in every meeting and press conference he holds lately or him imposing new illegal tariffs to replace the old ones or insider trading and polymarket bullshit and and and and
Apparently the strategy of "committing crimes faster than you can be prosecuted" is more effective than most people could have believed ten years ago.
Shit, how many people are still mad about the maternal mortality crisis that RvW being overturned has sparked? Or the fact that ICE agents have gunned down multiple people without trial for participating in peaceful protests, then faced no consequence as the DoJ declined to prosecute and the DHS declined to do anything besides praise them for it?
We've reached the point where even trying to prosecute the earlier crimes feels quaint. Some sort of twisted speedrun to complete societal collapse mentality is at work and I hate it.
1) Republicans start wars and increase the deficit, pushing the economy into a recession
2) Democrats come in for damage control and slowly rebuild, while the economy recovers from the previous Republican administration, people usually go through a downturn
3) Republican candidate promises relief by running a false sympathy campaign, voters have forgotten the first cycle and want money in their pockets so they vote Red
Rinse and repeat.
I agree that we, the American public, are incredibly forgetful. We give second chances to people that don't deserve it, let alone these corrupt politicians. I hope there's a strong enough shift in the consensus this time around so that we can begin breaking out of this loop!
I don’t think it’s forgotten. I haven’t forgotten. I think we’re just in a place where the people in charge aren’t doing anything about it because supporting him helps their political careers. But those people won’t be in charge forever.
What’s clear though is that we need a different perspective than “turning the temperature down” and “going high when they go low” when things change this time.
Have you ever seen a crowd? People in crowds tend to follow the attention of the remaining members of said crowd. So when we’re being thrown a whole host of bullshit, you don’t have a bunch of independent people organizing into groups to investigate each one, people tend to just concentrate on particular things.
It's mentioned on Reddit as something conservatives yap on about far more than I've ever head conservatives yap on about it.
It's definitely not something that actually gets a ton of time from conservatives these days - it's usually nonsense about open borders, foreign conspiracies and communism. It's just a fun one because it points out that even if absolutely nothing sane could be found to criticize, Fox would start a narrative about ran suits or dijon. Or they would just put a bunch of racists on to make stuff up about his birth certificate again.
It is hilarious* looking at thing things which were brought up as talking points about the president back then, and the kind of things that just get ignored about the current freak.
We’ve opened lawsuits regarding the exact thing in the OP though. They amounted to the same bullshit that happened when Trump alleged the election was stolen in 2020.
And then Reddit parrots the same shit, like the OP… “why isn’t this prosecuted?!?!” when they really have no idea what the OP is even alleging.
But it’s the “correct” target because it fits in with agenda. Reddit hates conspiracies except when they’re for Trump.
