Give me a break. Professional journalism groups have been continuing to do their job reporting on what’s going on, and making it very clear that democracy is at risk in the US. It’s not the journalists that are the problem here. It’s the propaganda from conservative authoritarians and the voters who are foolishly buying into the propaganda. If anything, journalists need our support right now. They’re doing a very thankless job currently. The only reason any of really know anything about what’s going is because of journalists dedicated to public service.

Bingo. All the flips are this, including The Atlantic today. *Yes this is fascism, but ignore all the people who were right about fascism.*. It’s just an extension of *Yes the Iraq War was a mistake, but ignore all the people who were right about the war*.

If they admit there were people who called it out long ago it removes their deniability for being complicit.

Reddit is being brigaded with “whatever the right wing does is the democrats fault” wrapped in faux-reasonability of “it’s horrible but…”
The non-trolls and non-bots are buying into and repeating it nonstop. It’s fucking disgusting

Yes they can excuse fascism. Their goal is to make money, not tell the news accurately.

“You may have been right that it was fascism, but I realized this on my own. Didn’t need leftists for that.” Classic narcissist behavior.

I despise our major media companies here now and avoid watching them. Even on social media

The fucking “nobody could have seen this coming” comments I’ve seen in the past few days to defend the sad little trump voters who feel duped (these don’t exist btw).

I’m so old I remember being told I was stupid and anti American for being against Iraq.
Eventually it becomes the well sure you were right but for the wrong reasons. The media was wrong but for the right reasons!

Hey Mr. Stewart, is it fascism yet?

They’re saying their business model requires them to excuse fascism. Their allegiance to the new leader says they must oppose what the leader opposes. They’re not making a compromise, it’s total capitulation.

Media is complicit in all of this. Cynical opinion is they wanted trump so we would have incidents like Minneapolis to drive up viewership.

Media, talking heads, average dumbasses:
But….if only the left wasn’t SOO WOKE about the whole thing…amirite?

Maybe it’s because fascism doesn’t sound scary enough to the rubes in the right,we should start calling all these events Magacomunism maybe they’ll get the message

This is clearly the fault of all of the people that said the Democratic party continuing to shift to the right would not be effective and only normalize fascism.

Republicans:”Weve taken over the government and we don’t need your help anymore to enact our agenda of terrorizing Americans and threatening war with Europe.”
Democrats:”Don’t worry we will still help you.”
Before anyone says SHIT about “It was only 7 dems! Why are you blaming all dems when 200 Republicans voted for it!?
1. Nancy Pelosi, Jim Jeffries, and Chuck Schumer were all PRO-ICE a week ago. Those aren’t random dems. Those are the leaders of the party in charge of billions of dollars in donor support.
2. After Donald Trumps first reign of terror, Dems worked with Republicans to increase ICE’S budget by $20 billion during Joe Biden’s presidency.
3. We are risking war with Europe and three days ago, 119 dems voted to increase the military budget in preparation for war.
119 dems AND the leaders of both groups in congress are NOT “only 7 dems”.
Dems are only here to help you when it’s convenient. Their real employers are the arms and equipment manufacturers for the gear being sent to ICE.

Why is it these memes always conflate *one single opinion article* with ‘the media’. There have been loads of opinion articles calling it fascism in ‘the media’ before this one.
This is once more a way to sow distrust in ‘the media’ and trust in memes and facebook trolls

“The left” was not right, normie resist lib wine moms were right about everything. The left was busy doing some both sides BS.

You can excuse them from the table, so you can be rid of them.

QAnon was right about rich and powerful pedo rings, but then excused fascism when they got hired by ICE
I don’t give a rats behind what y’all want to argue which side political scientists have decided to label it as, the left is authoritarian and pushes fascist actions.

I’ve been calling it ever since the inauguration where Elon did the salute, Grok sharing Nazi shit, Kanye’s Nazi shift…and people were making all sorts of excuses and calling me alarmist, doomer, etc.
I kind of feel vindicated, but it’s something I really didn’t want to be vindicated about. This fascist shit really should not be normalized.
Drict on
It is because the media is owned by people that would benefit from fascism coming about, duh.
