I don’t know if there’s a word or phrase for this but it is funny how you’re saying the dinner is important to show that in democracy leadership can take it on the chin. But in this case, this administration is wrecking democracy and can’t handle the correspondence dinner. It’s cool to see how that works in real time

This is surprisingly a middle ground. I’ve been seeing people on the right just as pissed off about this. They have a point too in that there can be two truths here.
He could have leaked information and needs to be held accountable.
The claim that the information leaked as stated can be exaggerated.
Just be careful out there that they don’t rope you into looking like idiots by being over dramatic.
Yes you did. Indirectly. It’s the ultimate market researcher aggregate. There’s no other place
Leave Grandma she’s dead weight
But Reddit is saturated with others already doing market research. Lemmy is young and fertile, ready for a creepy old ad man to prey on.
Got em guys. I took down Mr. Bic
Why do I feel like I’m participating in market research
I mean by definition you’re the ignorant one here. You’re making my point.
No I have no idea what it is. Heard it for a year. Never once have I seen what it is.
So yeah, maybe I should “Google it, dummy” but if that’s your go-to response, how do you expect to win anyone over? You can’t keep pretending people are gonna go off and do homework just because you think they should. That’s not how people work.
The right spells their stuff out. They’ve got videos, memes, rants, full-on content farms breaking down every issue from a hundred angles. It’s everywhere. You don’t have to go looking for it. You just absorb it.
Meanwhile, the left’s take is always like, “Google it dummy” or “It’s not my job to educate you.” Cool. But then don’t act surprised when nobody knows what the hell you’re talking about. The messaging never lands. It never sticks. And when people say that, they get told they’re lazy or willfully ignorant. And they are. And nothing is changing that. But you still need to get a message across. And one party does it. So it isn’t an impossible task.
Everything we know about communication says the right’s approach works. People respond to repetition, clarity, and simplicity. The left refuses to do that, almost like they think it’s beneath them and then wonders why they keep losing the narrative.
You’re not gonna win hearts and minds by expecting everyone else to meet you at the finish line.
Thank you, that’s 100% correct.
Seriously this is why the left fails.
Image you have at your hands research that shows the majority of people do not read or Google.
The right generates content based on the knowledge their base isn’t reading content if it takes more than a few minutes. This content comes off as over simplified but effective and everyone sees it. The left generates no content and instead spend all their time telling each other the right are idiots based on how simple the content they’re seeing is.
You can say “did you Google it” all you want. Factually I’ll tell you, no. And until you realize this, have fun with a Republicans destroying shit while you smuggly ask if people are googling stuff and calling them idiots.
Was there something that should have been brought to everyone’s attention? Did anyone Google it outside a few circles you’re in? If you went outside and asked people what project 2025 was at your coffee shop would they know? Would they Google it? But I bet they would have opinions on whatever the Republicans are bringing up this week.
Honestly no. There’s a new issue every day. Especially with trying to stay afloat with people on the left. You can say all you want that “just google it” and that’s amazing we should. But end of the day we don’t. And if you are behaving and acting in a world where your reality doesn’t exist, you will continue to fail at what you do.
What Republicans have done is understood the reality. Why do Republicans have so much more content than the left? They generate it and they go out through headlines and memes and shit posts to get people talking. Then those people who are emotionally invested continue to break up their messages into digestible bite sizes because they speak to the people like me who do not read. And that gets more people introduced to their messages. The left on the other hand create their 100,000 post that week where every single comment is a variation of “this sucks” “they’re racist” “eww I don’t like it” then log off.
Yea the left lost because you haven’t figured this part out yet
Have you.
Think of the subtext
Cool cool cool
Just making the point that the fact that is lost to people on the left is why Trump won. Like how you all come up with insults like Vichy. There are many reasons why Trump lost and a lot of it comes to the left will not adapt or learn why they failed.
So glad you realized what I was getting at. That’s the point. The right shit posted trump into the white house while the left couldn’t bother to download a single photo Editor. The most baffling thing to me was how people the left would get into a car, drive 8 hours up a protest to stand in the rain and get beat up by police but they couldn’t learn to generate content beyond saying “he’s racist” " he’s a Vichy" "that’s stupid’ like real effective use of time and energy a digital world guys.
It sucks that protest is the only lever we have
If I never came to this dark corner of the leftist space and checked everyday for updates, I’d never know this stuff occurred. Sucks that it just kind of floats here for a minute before disappearing in the ether
