Open Thread | Once Again, November 2024 is About Democracy vs Fascism

That’s it.

It started out as that. It hasn’t moved from that for one moment.

Especially after the MSM has been showing their entire asses since the debate.
The debate where the ‘ moderators’ saw fit to sit there and let Trump LIE uninterrupted.
That it wasn’t ‘their job’ to fact check him in real time. If it wasn’t YOUR job, then what the phuck WAS your job?
I could have pulled anyone off the street to do what Tapper and Bash did, because if you didn’t need an actual journalist, then anyone could have been sitting there, letting Trump lie uninterrupted and uncorrected.

Since then, they have been going ridiculous about Biden dropping out. Because,they never liked Biden. And, they want Trump back. This isn’t a conspiracy theory. Don’t try and pretend that we didn’t see what they did to Hillary Clinton in 2016. That we didn’t see what they did during the entire Trump term, as they attempted to gaslight us into believing that things weren’t as bad as we knew them to be, all in their continued attempt to normalize all the hideousness that was that Administration.

That, the NYT Editorial Board would purse their lips to demand that Joe Biden drop out – but not one word about the 34 felony convicted, all up in the Epstein documents that were dropped – candidate to drop out.

They are more hysterical about one debate performance, than the Supreme Court fundamentally altering the rule of law in this country.
They are more upset about one debate performance, than the Supreme Court gutting the regulatory state in this country.
They are more upset about one debate performance, than the Supreme Court criminalizing homelessness in this country.
They are more upset about one debate performance, than the Supreme Court saying that bribery of public officials is ok in this country.

ALL of that from the Supreme Court doesn’t balance the scales against one debate performance where President Biden was the ONLY one on the damn stage actually concerned with THE TRUTH.

This is ‘but her emails’ all over again, and because we lived through that, we stand and say, Hell no.
The MSM of this country would rather have a dictator, because they think it will get them clicks and views.
They have walked away with informing the country as to what the issues are, because, if they told the truth about Trump. The truth about the Republican Party and its policies. The truth about the plan of Project 2025 for this country..

If they can’t BOTH SIDES an issue, then they just try to ignore it, and put forth a shiny object.

For years, they’ve been telling us that they can’t stand the Biden White House because it doesn’t leak, and they have no ‘ inside routes’ to get scoops that they can keep for themselves until they want to write a book.
But, suddenly, within the last week, all these ‘ leaks’ are coming from the Biden White House? All these ‘ party insiders’ , that are ‘anonymous’, while the actual leaders are on tv, giving defense to the President.
Yeah, something smells.
The MSM wants Trump back, and Biden is an obstacle.

And, as we push back, and inform them that we won’t let them do to Biden what they did to Hillary, they get all upset and thin-skinned about it:

The MSM are not used to this much push back from Democrats (even though Republicans call them enemies of the people). That’s why they’re throwing out words like ‘M.AGA lite’ & ‘gaslighting’ while refusing to cover TFG’s crazy shit & glossing over Project 2025. Keep the pressure! https://t.co/8jv2v2WUqM

    Great work by @JuddLegum here: a list confirming that Trump lied about Project 2025 and implicitly showing us the *reason* he lied.

    The reason is this: this is *his* plan; written for him by *his* team; and he *knows* most Americans oppose it.

    So he must *hide* his involvement. https://t.co/PNyYljaxn5

    Black success.

    All make racists rabid. They call them “uppity” while also calling Black people lazy.

    During Jim Crow successful Black people were targeted. Farms and property stolen. Black people lynched and brutalized, forced to move with only the clothes on their backs. Generational wealth destroyed.

    Despite it all some were still able to prosper.

    Now, under Biden, the Black community has opportunity. Through loan programs. Loan forgiveness. Job creation. Higher wages. The numbers don’t lie, Republicans do.

    They hate these numbers. Behind the scenes red states are defunding grant programs for Black businesses. They are saying that when you help Black entrepreneurs you are discriminating against white people. They have targeted DEI.

    A Trump presidency would throw away this progress and surely destroy Black businesses and prosperity,
