General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

with its subtitle of “The Weaponization of Entertainment for Partisan Propaganda,” the report is tailored for the MAGA base. Full of talking points and and mentions of Stranger Things, the Lena Dunham produced Orgasm Inc: The Story of OneTaste, the controversial Cuties docu from 2020, and the Obamas produced American Factory, the 47-page report takes repeated swipes at any expansion of the streamer and its library of “leftwing and progressive” content. The report continues, “the consistency of this programming suggests there may be intentional coordination with activist organizations and alignment with progressive political objectives.”

“Unlike the first term, conservative think tanks are quick to provide the administration with the ammunition they need to execute policy,” the GOP insider states. “That, Fox, and social media amplifies it and then the administration reacts. It’s a reflexive loop.”

Once they cross the tippingpoint from elections to totalitarianism, accountability won't be able to touch them, because it won't be tolerated to survive, to threaten them.

They are now in deathmatch mode, while the left is still pretending that it's civil.

Therefore the left will, if Trump gets his miracle-cure in time, be "de-naturalized" & then ICE will be dealing with them: there won't be any left judge or authority to appeal-to: they'll all have been denaturalized, together, converting their status into "illegals".

It is the elegantest coup ever enacted, & I expect it .. after mid-Feb, certainly, but how soon?

weeks?

there won't be any midterms being allowed to "rob" them of their authority.

It's too late, for that kind of balancing.

Thank you very much for that link, btw.

Another piece off the puzzle.
