Bear with me for a second. Everyone is supposed to be ecstatic about the inauguration. But on all social media the response of even centrists was to relate to the Bernie meme. The guy is a soc dem at best but let’s be real here: the fact that there is so much grass roots support for him when even his milquetoast policies are roundly attacked on the major networks tells us something about how people are feeling when they’re being told to celebrate the best day ever. People are in despair. They can’t join in on the celebrations because they’re in a pandemic. It’s insane. And every centrist in the country knows it.
Yeah. It says he is popular on Twitter.
In the summer, at the height of the BLM uprising when US flags were burning, DC was on fire, twitter felt like a fucking socialist website with so many leftists upvoted into the hundreds of thousands.
We’re the only ones with a culture of telling plausible stories about crises and ruptures. So when SHTF, we come out on top. The reactionary media is stuck in it’s own bubble, while liberal media must pretend that BLM is the normal course of democracy.
We’re the only ones able to reach out to the mainstream and say “this is an uprising. Here’s how to help.”
