Two years ago, saying that extreme weather was caused by global warming was a controversial position. So was saying that inflation was caused by corporate greed. Now, they are common opinions. This post below from two years ago reminds us that we have to pick arguments to set the agenda and reframe the debate!
As usual, this is great. I like to listen to The Bulwark (as an AOC progressive), and on a recent Podcast with Laura Barron-Lopez, from PBS Newshour, they touched on how good the GOP is at messaging: https://youtu.be/MWAU0dgiW0E?si=wkPeU-nrt30l54sj
and that were the shoe on the other foot, the GOP mediasphere would be 24/7 about Alito (and Clarence). I wonder how we should be framing and beating the horse incessantly on Alito and flags and godliness, and Clarence and bribes.
We want people to think that Alito and Thomas are political hacks posing as judges in the highest court in the land.
"People say that Alito is just a partisan hack posing as a SC judge. Does his flying the insurrectionist flags show he's biased toward conservatives and Christian nationalism?"
"People say that Thomas has been taking bribes for years. Does those millions in gifts from a conservative billionaire affect his rulings, especially in cases that involve his benefactor?"
I have spent the last 20 years watching the Dems get pwned by their own competency - the classic debate between the policy wonk and the amatuer sloganeer.
Great points! But if we do as you say, which we should, we'd better know enough about the subject so we can be well-prepared to combat & refute arguments they may pose with hard evidence & sound reasoning. That is our challenge, and we should be up to it.
Can we quit calling them Conservatives? They are tearing down everything and the word implies that they are stable whereas they are promoting radical violent destruction of our Government, Democracy, the Constitution and our Freedoms. This is not Conservative. Authoritarian is better. Billionaire Boys Clubbers is good. Wannabe Fascists works. But Christofascists is the best as it unites the 2 main branches of the greed induced Wealthy who are bringing back the Confederacy.

Smart.
Great post! Thank you.
We don't have to trigger Conservatives.
They're scared of EVERYTHING.
Including their own shadows.

As I see it, the only thing they are trying to conserve is the status quo!
Same Hitler Face. Spewing hate is all they know.
I just tried to register for the event and it said "sales ended?"
Sorry! That was from the original post and I forgot to delete it! There will be sessions coming up in July!
