On a more serious note, is that really all the right offers, more AI slop? Sell your soul to fascism and the computer will do all the thinking for you? Wow what a deal!

Popular opinion: “we want anyone who isn’t a heterosexual white man dead!”
The media: “the people just want fascism. What can you do lol?”
A tiny and shrinking irrelevant minority: “We just think giving the rich all these tax exemptions aren’t working.”
The media: “tyranny! The poors are oppressing us and we need to lock in!”
Like…just ignore us. No one even lets us get a word in without exploding into a ball of violence and trying to run us out of town.
You are falling for the consent manufacturing. Fascism isn't popular. Bigotry is not the popular opinion. It's been shown time and time again that "trans people bad" is not an effective rhetoric for right-wing politicians. They still use it because culture war bullshit is all they have as they cannot address any material conditions. The Democrats are currently in the same position. They lost because of their useless neoliberalism lowering people's living standards and their complicity in Israel's genocide, but because they are owned by corporate interests they cannot address these issues, so pretending like "we were too woke" is all they have left. It's not true, but they are trying to repeat it so often that people start believing it.
Taxing the rich is popular. Look at the comments under Joe Rogan's recent episode with Marc Andreesen. Even the average Joe Rogan listener is tired of billionaires. Do you remember the videos of nightclubs randomly projecting pictures of Luigi Mangione on the wall and the crowds cheering? Look at the the unrivaled enthusiasm Zohran Mamdani's campaign generated.
Left-wing ideas are popular, there are just trillions of dollars invested into convincing you that they aren't. The ruling class wants fascism, that's why they're trying to convince you everyone's already on board, but they're not. Your defeatism is really misplaced.
I remember a weird month or maybe it was just a week in 2016 where Bernie and Trump were the emergent front runners and the media did a false equivocation of both of them as “populists”
As if “do a thing that is popular with the masses” as a political platform is inherently bad and illiberal
"Democracy" is only valid if you are unpopular, apparently.
The same people will decry China as "undemocratic" tomorrow with no sense of irony.
The unwashed masses? They must never be listened to. They can’t be right.
