    They really didnt learn their lesson from trying to pied-piper Trump/MAGA. Let’s see how it goes when the exact same thing happens to Democratic Socialism.

    I mean round 1 was Cuomo saying “Zohran and Hasan literally did 9-11” in the middle of literal New York City, and nobody cared.

    There are a lot of liberals who are now used to going outside of the mainstream narrative due to the topic of Palestine, and it strongly correlates with age too. This doesnt mean they arent liberal anymore, ofc not, but it has been getting easier to actually talk politics (and other stuff) with people in my community and build stronger social connections.

    There is obviously more that I want to talk about than Democratic Socialism (although I’ve been talking about it on here a pretty good amount), but it is a decent antidote to a lot of liberal brainworms, so we can get into that other stuff much more easily.

      One of the worst habits of liberalism is institutional epistemology. Liberals will believe something is misinformation unless it has academic research behind it or it is published in the pages of major newspapers. The genocide had really shattered this tendency.
