"Russia appears to be doing what every other entity that helped Trump get elected is doing, as they try to collect on their support: exerting what levers of pressure they have to get their objectives.

It turns out they likely have more levers of pressure — some of which are more powerful now, before Trump’s win is certified — and larger demands than most of the people who helped Trump get elected."

"Russia has been engaged in a good deal of dick-wagging with Trump since the election. …

Trump is going to be a tool of Russia."

Russia Attempts to Collect Its Winnings - emptywheel

Russia has been engaged in a whole bunch of dick-wagging since Trump won the election. That's likely because the last time they helped Trump get elected, he deferred on and then failed to deliver his side of the bargain.

"I will not spend a lot of time here blaming whoever caused this tremendous loss. People everywhere are already doing that.

Assigning blame is useless unless viable solutions are offered and implemented.

That said, here are my top three reasons why we lost the election:"

1. Racism
2. Sexism
3. Misinformation and disinformation

"In this ecosystem, what matters is what resonates, regardless of how outrageous, and getting riled up is rewarded by the algorithm. Again, there is the interaction of such visceral instincts with the more factual grievance of the system not working in their interests."

"For many outside of progressive, liberal, and left-leaning circles, social media platforms rife with conspiracy, disinformation, and hate are what people are seeing daily – and where they develop their sense of the world they live in. Social media is now the media."

"Politics isn’t about politics anymore.

That significant numbers instead see it as a vehicle to channel their fears and resentment-driven emotional instincts – beyond facts – is the existential challenge facing democracy today. ...

Democrats kept calling Trump a fascist, but these Pennsylvania voters thought he could help them pay the bills

Even though Trump spewed violent and anti-democratic rhetoric, these voters think he can help the economy and their bottom line.

"Could we easily make up for the loss of these workers by replacing them with native-born workers? No. Employment among native-born adults in their prime working years is higher than it was at any point during Trump’s first term. There just isn’t a large pool of idle but employable native-born Americans to put to work."

"Undocumented immigrants are more than a fifth of the construction work force, so deportations would severely hamper efforts to increase the housing supply. (And no, contrary to what JD Vance said, immigration hasn’t driven the recent spike in housing costs.)"

"If you’re upset about grocery prices now, see what happens if Trump goes after a huge part of the agricultural work force; immigrants are around three-quarters of agricultural workers — & roughly half of them are undocumented. (& do you really doubt that many workers legally here will be caught up in Trump’s threatened dragnets?) Undocumented immigrants also play a large role in food processing."

"Surveys show that Trump’s supporters don’t just tolerate his autocratic tendencies. They positively like them. ...

Most Americans don’t want explicit autocracy. But many Trump supporters are open to it, and most of his voters will support or tolerate authoritarian policies and acts."

"The question they should be asking is, 'Why?'

Instead, they waste time on their typical and tired blame-the-Democrats assessments while ignoring the underlying causes that led to this fraught and dangerous era, a fascist is putting together the most extreme cabinet in modern American history. Good job, everybody."

"It was Joe Biden’s fault. It was Kamala Harris’ fault. But apparently the bleak permanence of American racism and misogyny, the almost unimpeded rise of fascism, and a system so broken the Republican Party actually nominated, and America elected, an insurrectionist in direct violation of Article 3 of the 14th Amendment had nothing at all to do with the dark turn we’ve taken."

The Media Want to Blame Kamala Harris

They should take a look in the mirror
Mary L. Trump (The Good in Us by Mary L. Trump)
#fascism #trump #disinformation #future #republicans

"Most American voters who had correct facts about the major issues voted for Harris. Those who didn’t voted for Trump. However, when they were blindly presented with Harris’s policies, they greatly favored them.

What explains this dichotomy and breakdown?

Dan Froomkin 'blames the press' in part for failing to inform many Trump voters when it came to the reality of the economy, inflation, immigration and crime."

How Corporate Media Helped Re-Elect Trump

Right wing media has been a dominant source of spreading confusion, disinformation and hate. However, establishment media has been a complicit partner. How has it failed and can it do better?

"and that while the worst of it is the foreign and far-right intentional distortion of reality, too much of the mainstream media has been deferential and will be more deferential to authoritarianism and will not stop letting the right set the agenda about what to be concerned about and what matters. In fact, I don’t have to believe that disinformation is impactful; I know it because it’s been documented."

I suspect we'll be reading lots of ""I never thought leopards would eat MY face" stories now, sad to say.

"After winning historic # of Latinos,Trump names as border czar man who told 60 Minutes he would avoid family separation in mass deportation by also removing US citizen kids w/undocumented parents. (There are 4m such Latino kids.)"

"Somebody will tell me many of those who voted for it didn't know what they were voting for, and I imagine that's true. I have to say, though, that the ignorance and complacency demonstrated by Republicans and their allies is an ignorance and a complacency so vast and unfeeling that it must be taken as interchangeable with malice. …

I'm disinterested in the usual circular firing squad."

"Everything they did was a shitshow and all of it was washed in threats of brutality and malicious lies and promises of retribution and revenge and destruction, none of it offered any solutions that didn't involve hurting lots of people, all its proponents went out of their way to disparage any fine aspiration or principal that anybody, including themselves, has ever claimed to hold. Their standard bearer is a criminal and a rapist. And he won."

"Fascism is, it turns out, very popular. It won on Tuesday, seemingly without even having to try. The side that won barely campaigned."

~ A.R. Moxon

But the problem, let's remind ourselves, is the Democratic party. The problem is not the voters who, told that one party will usher in fascism, went right ahead and voted for that party — choosing to usher in fascism.

Fun Fact: If there is a mass deportation, the jobs that open up are jobs Americans don’t want to do. They’re labor intensive, pay less than minimum wage and are dirty.

As the productivity drops in many areas, prices will rise…..especially in the food industry.

I’m still taken aback that the #DemocraticParty voter outreach strategy of yelling at strangers online who wanted the #genocide of #Palestine to end in lieu of reaching out to the non voters and undecideds and #republicans the #KamalaHarris was chasing after didn’t work

Right now, there are many different theories about why the #Democrats lost the #election. A lot of these theories conflict, and they can't all be right. But one thing all Democrats should be able to agree on is that they need a massive #Media Machine to compete with the #Republicans.

“There are really serious implications for LGBTQ communities in states where we’re seeing more severe restrictions from the legislative side. It also emboldens folks to go out and harass LGBTQ people, trans and gender non-conforming people within their own communities.”

In my latest for Austin Free Press, I took #GLAAD data on hate incidents and looked at how bigotry has manifested in Central #Texas. Incidents have included assault, protests, and even a murder. https://austinfreepress.org/legislating-intolerance-anti-lgbtq-legislation-tied-to-massive-rise-in-hate-incidents/
