I watched 2 hrs of MSNBC last night to see if there would be any criticism of Dems voting to give Trump vast spying powers: [https://t.co/AQ4qD3NHyP]. @maddow ignored it & only opinion voiced on it was @benjaminwittes praising Congress for doing "the right thing": #TheAssistance pic.twitter.com/Xm6Lh2XtGL— Aaron Maté (@aaronjmate) January 12, 2018

has never been about opposing Trump. It’s about killing off what
remains of the true left in America by bullying them into falling in
line with the establishment and accusing them of supporting an evil Nazi
traitor if they don’t. It’s about manufacturing support for new cold
war escalations with Russia. It’s about manufacturing support for
internet censorship to quash anti-establishment ideas. It’s about
rescuing the career of every MSM pundit who’s been proven wrong about
everything since 2015. It’s about distracting from the DNC scandal which
proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that democracy does not exist in
America in any meaningful way. It’s about pacing rank-and-file Democrats
into alignment with Bush era neoconservatives. Opposing Trump has
nothing to do with it.
No,
when it comes to actual policies that actually matter, Trump and those
who McResist him are playing for the same exact team. Same expansion of
the US war machine, same expansion of unaccountable Orwellian
surveillance networks, same increasing government opacity and
persecution of whistleblowers, same increasingly militarized police
state, same soul-crushing Walmart economy, same subversion of anything
resembling democracy, same oligarchy, same agenda. Same play, different
masks.
The
two parties are both lying to you and the entire show is fake. US
politics is a WWE performance with the audience deeply invested in the
outcome of the match, each side of the stadium screaming for their
favorite wrestler when the only determining factor is what will make
Vince McMahon the most money. It’s all a fake spectacle, and it’s
designed to screw you over.
Ignore
the political theater and watch what actually happens, and you will see
a very, very different America than the one you are told to see by
proponents of mainstream narratives. Ignore their words and watch their
actions, and oppose everyone who’s on the side of the machine.
