Trump’s second era is a practice in the natural consequences. What happens if you put the most stupid fools responsible for everything? The results will not surprise you and do not confuse you: they are absolute. Trump was almost not in his first 100 days, and we saw the markets bound by the administration’s trade war, The allies abandoned us Since our external policy is turning into nihilism, and everywhere, the work has been coming with a well-standing work for the federal government-and a retreat from work-and killing the peopleElon Musk also rushes throughout the city.
In short, chaos and innocence are not under the offer, and the city’s halls throughout the country Fill with people Those who urinate the bad ruling Trump. Despite all this, it was not even this Gharib Nats chat collection– Any social media is called appropriately.New phone, Houthis?– The Trump administration has made bleeding in public places. It is worth exploring the reason for this, and what Democrats can learn from this folder to face a more urgent and destructive problem: looting the above -mentioned civil service by Dog.
First of all, it must be clear that there are some things about this flap that cannot An episode in the editor of a major national magazine on their plans to drop bombs in Yemen. One of the biggest reasons for this particular scandal on the news cycle for several days is simply the fact that a media organization has ended in its center. But a day after the Trump administration alternately between General sale and Participant in the unintended sign chat Jeffrey Goldbergand Atlantic Ocean He was forced to take something other than the neutral situation by publishing screenshots to prove – the harassing liars of the White House – that Defense Minister Beit Higseth has already revealed accurate plans for air strikes on the Houthi rebels.
Democrats greatly believe that this is the way you should always go with the political press: that a kind of civil motivation may raise the breasts of the media, which pushes them in the direction of critical thinking and coverage that decreases against irresponsible and immoral actors. This may be the news industry that we deserve, but it is not the one that we have, and Democrats will continue to suffer from panic as long as they harmonize the illusion that the press will fix itself and comply with the reason for preserving our civilian fabric.
However, the contradictions of this week on group chat may generate something that can be repeated: angry Democrats are Now in the eyes of the audienceCorruption of the Republican Party. This is one of the big rules in the current scene of the information in which we have to live: the conflict creates content. The media monster may be sarcastic, but it is reliable – and if you feed it with enough opponents, the headlines will be armed. Looking at the opportunity to reach some of the good old beating of the Republicans, the anger of the Democrats and maintain the attention of the media.
Democrats need to develop ways to do this type of things every day. It should not be difficult: the destruction of Doug delivers the daily Democrats. Now they need to take it and mobilize the same type of emotion that was shown as they ignited Nimrods from Trump. This means finding regular opportunities to enter in front of any journalists, television cameras and microphones on hand.
This also means unconventional thinking. One of the most attractive aspects New Republic The idea of editor Michael Thomasky about Collecting shade cabinet It is how it can be formulated in a dagger that directly aims to the heart of Elon Musk, by combining experts’ argument (here an army of federal employees who shoot by Musk can help a lot) with liberal figures ready to fight. Such an institution will form pressure on Trump while it was removed from the leaders of the Democratic Minority in the House of Representatives and the Senate, Hakim Jeffrez and Chuck Schumer, who were just built for political messages.
However, there are many current ongoing operations that also provide ammunition for content creation wars. Bernie Sanders tour “The oligarchy Fighting”, As I noticed previouslyThe blessing of attention was to the forces of an anti -drop. Democrats also run the great straw The halls of their “empty chair” townThe red areas invaded to speak to the disturbing voters in places where Doj reaches the voltage. These visits continue to come: the fact that Elon Musk harms people’s lives in places like Osage County, OklahomaThe doors of Democrats open in parts of the country where they were not little political luck.
This week, while the Democrats have disturbed the Trump administration members who performed the mass chat flap, they did so in the national sense that they enjoyed blood in their teeth – while residing unusually on the message. While the administration has tried to remove criticism, Democrats did not ski from the central idea that the group chat was uniquely devastating.
This is exactly the way they need to describe Duj, because otherwise, the rabid Crusader campaign in Musk can become in the eyes of the public as a legitimate part of the public debate about government spending. This is exactly what the Republican Party hopes: even with general approval of musk, the Republicans are like the majority leader of the Senate John Thun They are trying to pass Doug sabotage As part of their broader attempt to reduce spending (to finance taxes for the wealthy, of course).
Democratic decline on Duji can build on the previous successes in formulating the Trump administration capacity. When Obamacare was attacked, Democratic unity was essential To save the program One of the legislative majority points of the Republican Party. Then, “My Hands of Health Care”; Now, it is “my social security hands” and “your hands from my own data.” These are particularly strong cries because they show how each society will be affected by Doug’s corruption. Suddenly, Democrats have a thousand different ways to reach millions of different voters. This type of opportunity does not come often.
