Mainstream American politics is literally just two fascists calling the other a commie

[-] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 30 points 3 days ago

That's also just basic fascism. They will kill each other until there's only two people left on earth accusing the other of secretly being a Judeo-Bolshevik.

[-] Cimbazarov@hexbear.net 83 points 3 days ago

The acceptable method is to give Intel an unconditional check without taking any ownership, cause that worked out so well brandon

[-] edge@hexbear.net 16 points 3 days ago

The government’s equity stake will be funded by the remaining $5.7 billion in grants previously awarded, but not yet paid, to Intel under the U.S. CHIPS and Science Act and $3.2 billion awarded to the company as part of the Secure Enclave program.

lmao he's paying for it with money Biden already promised to give them for free.

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 7 points 3 days ago

Just like obama-spike and the auto bailouts lol

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 73 points 3 days ago

Yeah man keep it up with the Drumpf is a commie memes, it worked the first hundred thousand times, o meme lord master.

[-] Lussy@hexbear.net 41 points 3 days ago

It’s like crack, it hits great every time

[-] Lavender@hexbear.net 31 points 3 days ago

Never diminishing returns. And racist white people only have great thoughts about it.

[-] prole@hexbear.net 69 points 3 days ago

Gavin doing anticommunist propaganda? Yeah, sounds about right for a fascist in competition with another fascist

[-] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 65 points 3 days ago

Two hollering fascist apes, surrounded by fire, accusing each other of being socialists until the sea claims both of them

Great, another sign of the right’s culture war victory.

Then: “I’M not the racist, YOU ARE!”

Now: “I’M not the leftist, YOU ARE!”

[-] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 35 points 3 days ago

This must be that “pragmatic incrementalism” they’re always blathering about

[-] vegeta1@hexbear.net 22 points 3 days ago

Only thing that incrementally happened is these lib politicians moving further right

[-] Barabas@hexbear.net 51 points 3 days ago

Does Newsom's new tactic of trying to imitate Trump actually appeal to people?

[-] Maturin@hexbear.net 72 points 3 days ago
[-] Barabas@hexbear.net 19 points 3 days ago

I assume they like it, but I meant the average person.

[-] tactical_trans_karen@hexbear.net 30 points 3 days ago

I have a relative, somewhat progressive late 50's white woman... It's working on her. 😭

The average person in the US is blue MAGA.

the average person in the US sees voting as a chore they don't want or need to think about more than once a leap year. and they aren't wrong

[-] coolusername@hexbear.net 12 points 3 days ago

i know a guy irl that was into the dark brandon stuff i think this would appeal to him

[-] coolusername@hexbear.net 27 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

i dunno but i think the CIA is promoting his antics. dude is all over reddit popular. i think he's our new buttigeg ala CIA pick of choice to be next pres

[-] Barabas@hexbear.net 23 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

He is the obviously the anointed favourite by the Dem establishment, but this shit just seems like it wouldn't appeal to the general public. But I don't know if that is "they go low, we go high" brainworms. They already have the blue no matter who crowd locked down, who is this meant to appeal to outside of the demo?

[-] miz@hexbear.net 18 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

they only have to be appealing to donors

Why the fuck isGavin Newsom trying to make Trump look cool?

[-] Lavender@hexbear.net 42 points 3 days ago

Instead of inviting a leftist to the conversation, both parties create one as a strawman. The worst of both worlds

[-] Monk3brain3@hexbear.net 24 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

the democrats are so fucking pathetic. oh my lord. Like they literally just want to give companies free money. i dont know how america can be saved lmao

[-] PKMKII@hexbear.net 40 points 3 days ago

Admittedly there is something hilariously ironic about conservatives shitting on the Chinese political economy and then being all “the government needs to invest in the private sector.” But this is just pure-ass cringe; libs keep thinking that doing “I know you are but what am I” for insults that were hurled at them decades ago is gonna look fresh to voters.

[-] CeliacMcCarthy@hexbear.net 38 points 3 days ago

the tweets of this guilty land

[-] GoodGuyWithACat@hexbear.net 32 points 3 days ago

To me this just proves that the SOE model from China is the next phase of capitalism. Each successive capitalist mode of production in history has ascended by innovating off the previous model, usually by internalizing some major cost. US finance capital has been grasping for the last remnants of profit for decades through the neoliberal model, now we'll see if more industries adopt some level of state stakeholding.

[-] jack@hexbear.net 33 points 3 days ago

It's really just a reversion to some elements of mid century capitalism, pre-beoliberalism. And it's not like we're gonna get the welfare state to go with it.

marx-doomer Seems like fascists can see their empire is starting to topple and occasionally do something to try to save it

[-] Euergetes@hexbear.net 35 points 3 days ago

even at his rabid peak Newsom still fucking can't really post

we did it. we achieved communism.

[-] edge@hexbear.net 10 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Actually since he only nationalized 10% of Intel, we're only 10% of the way to communism.

[-] miz@hexbear.net 34 points 3 days ago

this is awful yes, but then you realize the asshole this memelord is working for will probably be president in 2029 and that makes it infinitely worse

[-] hello_hello@hexbear.net 16 points 3 days ago

@xiaohongshu@hexbear.net I apologize I was not familiar with your game you were so right that the the opposition party would do this.

Nationalize a safely petty percentage of your own hegemony to discredit the idea of national ownership because the previous government did it and it went horribly.
