Project 2025 is the lesser evil? Compared to?
Comment on Trump team leaks AI plans in public GitHub repository
surph_ninja@lemmy.world 1 month agoThat’s actually why I’d say the GOP is the “lesser evil” compared to Dems, because they ultimately want the same thing but the Dems are competent enough to pull it off without people noticing.
For example, everyone’s rightly going after Trump’s deportation schemes, but very few of them realize Trump is still isn’t keeping up with Biden’s deportation numbers. So the Dems end up being better fascists by doing it quietly.

Compared to Dems doing the same thing covertly. As I explained in the comment you’re relying to.

“explained” seems to be doing a lot of heavy lifting.
You papered something, but I didn’t see an explanation per se.
Try again? Start by pointing to where the Dems started their insurrection, so I can compare.

Fascism is not measured by immigration alone.

‘Well hold on, it’s not fascist when Dems do it.’

…are they? They’re just incompetent in different ways.
surph_ninja@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Yeah, you’re not wrong. Really it’s that the Dems have better control of and coordination with the media outlets.
_haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works 1 month ago
I disagree with you there, GOP has just as much control over media outlets, but the extent of control differs depending on which outlets you’re talking about.
surph_ninja@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Ehh. There’s certainly some outlets that coordinate with the GOP on talking points, but it’s not direct control and coordination like the Dems practice with media outlets.
It’s more like the GOP and conservative outlets are receiving marching orders from the same oligarchs. The Dems are overtly directing their media partners.
None of this is speculation. We’ve seen the email leaks on both sides to prove it.

Democrats aren’t without blame but the idea that republicans are a better option is an insane take. That you think we’d be worse off now had we had a Democratic president and congress is absolutely insane.
surph_ninja@lemmy.world 1 month ago
And that’s an accidental admission that you didn’t notice when the Dems were doing this stuff. Exactly my point.
JigglySackles@lemmy.world 1 month ago
So when did the democrats send out ICE and DHS en masse country wide? Or how about when they deployed the Marines against peaceful protestors? Did the democrats do those things without my notice? I’ll be shocked.
surph_ninja@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Hahahaha. I love it. Commenters just can’t stop making my point for me. ‘I never heard of the Democrats doing anything like that!’ Yeah, that’s exactly my point, genius.

I don’t remember when the Democrats deported my neighbor or when they called self-proclaimed Nazis good guys or when they wanted to take away food stamps from single mothers or when they wanted to make voting harder or when they didn’t want to ban child marriage or when they wanted to take away the only source of food and housing for children, people with disabilities, and the elderly or when they wanted to ban vaccines or when they wanted to ban abortion or when they wanted to make being queer a child sex crime or when they ignored all of science, but I guess they were just too smart to do any of that.
surph_ninja@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Then you have a terrible memory, or more likely just don’t pay attention when Democrats are in office.
I’m about to come back and edit multiple sources into this. One sec.

Don’t hide behind the shitty half-assed news reports, you coward. Just name the actual Democrat that fired their vaccine board, so we can end this. Just name the actual Democrat that banned abortion federally, instead of posting fifteen useless articles. Just name the Democrat that kept child marriage protected because it’s easier. Just name the Democrat that deported my neighbor, specifically, since you seemed to have known him. Just name the Democrat that implemented a voting suppression measure, assuming you can find one within the last 25 years, instead of you saying that’s the same thing as ranked choice, which have been challenged by Republicans in every single instance (and this is the only instance you found for Democrats, if you could call it that, lol). Just name the Democrat that called queer people slurs openly and wants them tried for child sex crimes.
It should be so easy, right? If they’re the same, just fucking name them.

‘You must name the person who banned my specific neighbor, because I refuse to acknowledge the existence of anything that does affect me personally and directly.’
