It seems whenever there is a discussion of MAGA or the traitor to include DeStupid, Giuliani or Graham etal happening anywhere in the media, it is treated as "politics" which in our media means there needs to be 4 repubs and 1 democrat in the discussion (as that is what is considered equal representation) and the interviewer has to imply that "both sides" do everything.
It was NOT politics when Hitler rose to power in Germany and ultimately murdered 6 million people not counting the war casualties.
Jan 6 was not about "politics," it was about insurrection and fascism!

(31,106 posts)I have a friend who has been listening to the wrong person on the golf course for 30 years who thinks both sides are the problem but the Dems could fix it all if they just stopped being, and here is where I lose him, something. He cant say exactly what it is, but I get the feeling he means since we are the adults, how come we cant fix this.
He called it politics in our last email exchange and I just cant, I will have to ignore him for a while. I can only take so much!
Oh, and the person he listens to has brainwashed him into thinking the biggest problem is paying taxes.

(1,962 posts)It's about genocide and mass murder. It's about the destruction of human rights. It's about overthrowing the government. It's about destroying democracy.
"Politics" is debating how the spread out the budget. "Politics" is debating what NASA programs we should green-light and fund.
"Politics" is not "let's let them eliminate trans people." "Politics" is not destroy LGBTQ rights. "Politics" is not targeting and dehumanizing people because their skin isn't light enough. And "politics" sure as fuck isn't "overthrow the government" and "there will be riots in the street if a traitor is indicted!"
None of this is politics. It's one side pushing hate and death and throwing a temper tantrum, believing they're immune to all rules.
I'm with you. I'm fucking sick of it too. This isn't "politics". This is a collection of Nazis trying to "take our country back"... to Germany of 1938.
