But you have to understand, to 74 million people, the Fox News Cinematic Universe is reality. There's regular bullshit, and then there's bullshit so widely believed that you actually have to study the bullshit, just to be able to predict what its subscribers will do next. Like religion.
Then we can play god long enough that we eventually fill the niche, and nobody will stop us.
You're absolutely right: dismissing anything you don't want to hear as "propaganda bullshit" is a much easier way of having a discussion than participating.
He does this because - it may surprise you to hear, but it's true - America does not have a parliamentary system of government. Here, everybody left-of-nazi is forced to pretend like they are all members of the same party. If America's system de facto allowed for more than two parties, then the progressive party could actually choose whether or not to form a coalition with the centrists, conditional on policy concessions. Since we do not, the centrists offer is "we get what we want or else you get nazis." Then make the progressives out to be the bad guys if they call the bluff, which isn't a bluff, because the centrists today genuinely would prefer 4 years of nazis over conceding anything to progressives.
So, exactly like the top level comment described. Weird take.
Ah, of course. America's communist party should be trying to form a coalition government in Parliament this year. Literally equivalent.
That comment was not referring to literal nazis. They were talking about the American right wing.
