Let’s go TACO, let’s go!!!
Update: Yes, the Dems have been pretty much useless but they can’t do anything when they have no majority in either the House or Senate and Don TACO is ruling by EOs.
But this is how you get him and them. Fuck the high road, hit them at their level. Call them names like weirdos and TACO. If anything induce strokes in all of them.
Honestly, satire is pretty effective. Hitler was obsessed with projecting power, and humor especially the kind many Jewish people used to survive the camps was a powerful tool for undermining that illusion. Humour takes power away from a thing. It’s why it’s great against powerful entities but feels evil when used against the weak. If more people had mocked him early on, the myth of a strong, untouchable leader might never have taken root.
It’s always baffling when a leftist jumps in to argue that pointing this out is somehow pointless or juvenile. Maybe it’s a lack of social intuition, or just a failure to grasp the bigger picture but too often, the left underestimates the power of cultural resistance. Ridicule, art, memes, jokes these are tools that shape perception and cut authoritarianism down to size.
And these politicians you roll your eyes at? They’re not doing it for themselves. They’re calling out people like you, trying to shake you awake, trying to keep the pressure on. But instead of joining in, too many of you just sit back, waiting for someone else to fix it all.
It’s effective if it’s combined with action. If democrats are, say, voting in enough numbers to help pass his spending bill, then this already overplayed tease is meaningless. Democrats don’t even try to obstruct. The least they could do is make witty satire instead latching onto anything with a hint of virality, beating it to death, and then beating the corpse.
I guess it’s like fucking. This is foreplay. It’s important. Don’t try to rush things. Don’t just rush in, fart on them a bit.
Don’t over think the power of just teasing these fucking clowns. You’re not going to get action anytime soon. Do what you can.
Oh, fetishizing action for action’s sake? Can i ask what kind of people are known for that?
If we take literally any action, we’re no better than the fascists.
Which thing do you want? Action or obstruction? Make up your mind!
The right certainly uses this tactic against the left. Look at all their cringe viral memes, online propaganda targeting generation z/α, & trashy displays on their cars & clothing.
It’s like saying, look at the other team playing to the crowd, getting people excited and generally captivating audiences. Don’t they know they’re supposed to use logic and reason.
Our desire to shit on them has only alienated us from what works to win politically. That divide is growing.
This is beautiful, thank you.
Leftists are always against any actual action taken to oppose the right.
You sure you didn’t mean to say liberals instead of leftists?
Famously yes, every time fascism has been defeated or delayed, it was because good steadfast liberals made tacos about it.
It’s why the fascists won the spanish civil war; not enough liberals, and the damn anarchists were so anti imperial they thought appropriating cuisine from their former colony was bad. Fucking wokeness ends with fascist victory every time!
That’s why the woke must be exterminated! In camps!
