wonder if some of this is also just being too immersed in politics. like how people from other cultures see the weird parts of yours that you stopped noticing

yeah people act like it's 100% the cult but there are soft trump supporters who actually don't like that he's a criminal scumbag and because our system is stupid it doesn't take all that many of those to stay home to swing it

the stupidity of journalists about this baffles me more than anyone else even the bootlickers on fox should be taking a real hard look at what happens to bootlicking journalists in authoritarian countries once they're deemed no longer useful or say one thing off script

and the caveat of course is that for electronic communication it IS possible to sift through all of it. still doesn't mean they're actually going to do anything about it, they usually won't. but you are being monitored and if you set off whatever algorithm they're using, welp

they imagine an enormous bureaucracy that monitors everything and everyone all the time. it's just not. day to day life isn't that different. occasional subversive TV and books slip through the cracks. it's not all encompassing. but it's enough that the boot is always hovering above you somewhere
