Bandy:

The election of DT, a fascist, came as no surprise. Democratic rhetoric seemed increasingly disingenuous as the Biden Adm provided provided and paid for the weapons for Zionist Israel’s genocide, including starvation, of Palestinians: 70% women & children. The normalization of violence is a key strategy in the fascist toolbox. It is often met by indifference on the part of people exposed to the sociopathic contagion, now a pandemic. We can blame the media as well as ourselves for being complicit while witnessing genocide unfold on our respective screens. Trump is blowback.

The following is a call to action, that I first heard from a caller to the Thom Hartman Program; a call to stay home & buy nothing bu essentials.

Trump’s re-election disgraced America, We the People and the failed milquetoast Dem Party; which never seems to get the message, unable or unwilling to learn from its “mistakes.”

Some are pledging to stay home and buying only essentials; boycotting the oligarchs that bought the elections and shamed the Nation. The insatiable filthy rich hoarders who that want it all, spent lavishly not to help people, but for the sinister goals: to undermined our democracy, our shared goals and common dreams. The betrayal is sparking resistance, one that may also mitigate the climate crisis that the pathologically, obsessive compulsive oligarchs helped create. The resistance demonstrates opposition to the normalized carnage of endless wars, including the Palestinian genocide that both parties profit from and refuse to address.

Silence + inaction = indifference & complicity.

I recommend reading the following comments made by Sen Bernie Sanders who many argued could have defeated unfit fascist Trump.

“Bernie Sanders blasts Dem Party following Kamala Harris loss: The VT independent called the Dem Party's campaign "disastrous; ". By Allison Pecorin and Meredith Deliso, ABCNews, 11/6/2024 The link follows, as well.

I read the article. It is what you should come to expect from the legacy media. Throughout the time and for the eight years prior to Harris becoming the Democratic candidate the news depicted every little comment of Biden and the administration in a less than favorable manner. They always pointed out with more vigor the negative aspects while not more forcefully giving the significant great accomplishments more air time.

Conversely, they did what has been called 'sanewashing' of Trump from day one when he first came on the scene.

The oligarchs behind the media are more to blame.

Allowing Trump to call MSM main stream media without strenuously countering him every time, and in real time when possible was more of the problem than the polices of helping are allies.

Government is mostly boring procedural activities done behind the scenes. That doesn't attract viewers.

I have switched off on that media as have others who take and have the time. Most people don't.

But when the Trump rhetoric, often misleading most of the time, was always given top headline, as this Sander's one wor bolded piece, what else can you expect.
