Van Putin hebben ze geen last, van Biden wel. Ook al gooit Biden alle problemen op dit moment op " Putin's fault!" .

Maar true hoor, het is een enorme bende op dat gebeid in de VS. En dat komt omdat sinds Trump keiharde haat gemeengoed is geworden. Van politici tot kranten tot entertainers, alles was geoorloofd tegen trump, doodsverwendingen waren gewoon de norm.

Oh, Obama heeft een keer een bloemlezing gegeven over hoe de republikeinen hem hebben afgeschilderd tijdens zijn presidentschap.
Dus doe maar niet net alsof dit begonnen is tegen de presidentschap van Trump.

Ik heb het dan ook niet alleen over politici, daar was het altijd "gewoon" onderdeel van de campagne. Maar opeens was het heel normaal voor artiesten, mensen op twitter etc om de president dood te wensen. Gewoon maatschappelijk geaccepteerd.

Twitter is sowieso de afvoerpijp van de samenleving.
Geen idee hoe dat was tijdens Obama.

Minder obamabashing kan natuurlijk ook komen omdat Obama zijn dagen niet vulde met zich als een idioot gedragen. Dan is er al snel minder te vertellen.

Voor Trump is aandacht zuurstof, dus die doet alles om maar in talkshows genoemd te worden.

Vraag is wel of de Obama bashing echt minder was

Inflation hit a record 8.5% today under Joe Biden.
Joe went to Iowa to discuss his record 8.5% inflation.
Nobody is buying his nonsense.
A bird just sh*t on Biden during his speech.
It’s sort of how we all feel.

Ook dan zou de keuze Trump moeten zijn.
Dat veel Amerikanen kennelijk liever Poetin kiezen dan hun eigen president geeft wel het failliet aan van de Amerikaanse politiek en samenleving.

Als we in de conservatieve fox bubble kijken zien we duidelijk een consistent gedrag van al 20 jaar democraten bashing.

Is verder trump gebashed door de rest van de media of gewoon keer op keer met feitelijke kritiek neergehaald. Waardoor de rooien met hun oneindige vertrouwen in een bewezen leugenaar een rode lap voor hun ogen krijgen.

CNN Slams Libertarian Children’s Books—Causing Sales to Surge

Outlets such as CNN may be opposed to libertarian content, but their opposition is good for business.

Last week, CNN published an opinion piece arguing that the “right-wing children’s entertainment complex is upon us.” Prominently featured as a case in point were the Tuttle Twins children’s books, created by Connor Boyack to offset the progressive propaganda that many children now confront in classrooms across the country.

The books, which have sold more than 3.5 million copies, weave in libertarian themes related to individual freedom, limited government, free markets, and entrepreneurship, and frequently highlight the work of great thinkers such as Frederic Bastiat, F.A. Hayek, Ludwig von Mises, and FEE founder, Leonard Read.

“The goal is to seal conservatives' children off from a broader culture, to protect them from supposed liberal indoctrination by getting a head start on conservative indoctrination,” wrote Nicole Hemmer, a researcher at Columbia University with the Obama Presidency Oral History Project, in her CNN article.

Boyack laughed when he read that. “I find it humorous that those in the left-dominated media are wringing their hands about a few of us doing what they have long been doing,” he told me this week. “The progressive mob has long been infiltrating and leveraging pop culture, the school system, and entertainment outlets—and suddenly they're outraged when we're providing a counter message to their myopic, woke worldview? They're clearly crocodile tears—faux outrage over something the ‘left’ has long been up to.”

But Boyack welcomes more criticism from left-leaning media sites because it boosts his sales. Parents, it turns out, are clamoring for learning materials that offer different viewpoints and perspectives than what their children receive in their schools and throughout the broader culture.

When the progressive magazine, Current Affairs, published a similar critique of the Tuttle Twins in the fall of 2020, Boyack’s sales soared. He sold more than 12,000 books from that piece alone, using a special promotion code to track sales.

As of Monday, Boyack said the CNN article was directly responsible for helping to sell more than 23,000 books in just a few days, nearly doubling the amount of sales generated by the Current Affairs article.

“​​These efforts to criticize our work only encourage fence-sitters and curious onlookers to take action, buy the books, and see for themselves what all the fuss is about,” Boyack told me. “Our haters make for the greatest sales force I've ever found. If anyone else wants to attack our work and criticize the Tuttle Twins books, I'd really appreciate it.”

Indoctrination of young people into a left-leaning political worldview has become increasingly noticeable, especially as both curriculum and corporations have become overtly political in recent years. But it’s hardly a new phenomenon. “This is a multi-faceted problem that’s been festering and growing for decades,” Bonnie Kerrigan Snyder told me in our recent LiberatED podcast conversation. She is the author of the book, Undoctrinate: How Politicized Classrooms Harm Kids and Ruin Our Schools—and What We Can Do About It.

Kerrigan Snyder argues that students are increasingly having to self-censor and self-silence in both their K-12 and college classrooms if they happen to disagree with the dominant progressive cultural narrative. She adds that teacher education programs are similarly skewed, often tying a student-teacher’s academic achievement to left-leaning political activism.

Books like the Tuttle Twins, as well as Boyack’s entire suite of learning materials geared toward young people of all ages, offer a cultural counterweight. They help children and teens learn about different perspectives and a different societal vision.

“Parents need to recognize that we're in an ideological war, and that our children's minds are ground zero for today's battle,” Boyack told me. “And if parents don't recognize that this war is happening, they by default are going to lose.”

He continued:

“Once we're engaged in the fight, it's not enough to simply play defense—to screen the content our kids watch, shelter them from the crazies, put parental blocks on their devices, and hope for the best. We have to go on the offense. We have to be intentional about exposing our children to sound ideas, true facts, and a worldview grounded in reality and principle. That's how we win. That's why the Tuttle Twins books and cartoon series exist—to help parents give their kids a foundational understanding of the ideas of a free society.”

As more parents realize the ideas their children are continually exposed to, and how they are often antithetical to the principles of a free society, they are eager to consume content that offers an alternative perspective. Outlets such as CNN may be opposed to such content, but their opposition is good for business.

“Thanks, CNN!” said Boyack.

De setting is wat raar, een onbewaakte brievenbus die aan beide zijden met een lint wordt afgeschermd, er staan mensen in de rij langs die brievenbus, maar niemand in de rij voor die brievenbus om daar hun stembiljet in te doen..dan komen er uit 2 richtingen mensen die over het lint stappen om iets in die brievenbus te doen
Als dat de stembus is, waarom is die onbewaakt en op afstand van de stemhokjes en waarom staan er linten omheen en waarom staat die bus buiten?
