Actually, I really appreciate you putting that together. Yes, it captures a big part of what I’ve been trying to say.

Maybe it is bad faith, but I also think that speaking directly, especially online, is genuinely hard. Still, one of my biggest frustrations is how difficult it is to spread and sustain important ideas and perspectives.

What really gets me is seeing people pour so much energy into a single protest driving for hours, standing in the rain, even getting arrested but then showing almost no interest in doing something like consistently sharing content online, which is easier and arguably more effective in the long run. That disconnect baffles me. Like posting and commenting on an issue for 24 hrs isn’t enough

And on top of that, there’s a real failure to support strong figureheads or voices who are actually good at communicating the message. These people burn out or get drowned out because there’s no consistent effort to lift them up. It’s like the momentum gets lost the moment the event ends, and without that sustained effort, we just end up watching things fall apart from the sidelines.

Maybe or maybe there’s subtext

What

What the hell is he doing. A democrat man talks for a long time 👍

Just getting off a lazy ass isn’t enough. That’s not a win. Having someone drive two towns over just to stand in the rain and get their heads kicked in by police because they were misinformed how effective a protest would be is not winning. Telling each other we shouldn’t engage because it’s like rolling with pigs is self neutering.

My point is stop thinking that posting an article or making a comment is doing fuck all. Create good fucking content

Wow great job. You win whatever the you think you win here and still have a trump presidency and every other loss socially and politically and still don’t get why

Holy shit you people never understand this do you…

Why does every grandmother know every right wing issue while all of you smuggly keep saying ‘Google it’ while you lose every battle you barely attempt to be mad about

Do your work if you’re so committed to these causes. But the effort in yourselves or stop crying all over the Internet how everyone are fascists and Nazis now.

Make fucking content

Cut the shit and wake up

I don’t understand

There is no way this happens. Left can’t muster anything more then a mild protest

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

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.

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.
