    If those Internet duds that get mad about black people in video games spent like half that energy being mad about, like, wage theft, we’d be so much better off.

      Therein lies the point of MAGA efforts. If you keep your base punching the left then they won’t remember they’re working class, not really being crushed by the left, and may start to punch up.

      They’re already too scared to do in person town halls. Even so, this steered rage is intentional.

      You’re not displaced by corporate, but by immigrants, DEI, and non-traditional women.

        Don’t forget the church in your metaphor. That way, the punches that keep those MAGATs spitting leftwise are reich crosses.

        Maga efforts assisted by Democratic leaders that also focus on everything else but class issues as well.

          Depends. That’s the issue though. DEMs is a giant bag of angry cats fighting amongst themselves, gatekeeping one another, and more or less telling one another how they should be while saying it’s all inclusive.

          The infighting is real. I’ll give the repubs credit for unity, they’re strangely good at it, just look at Tesla. Ten years of hating Tesla and hazing Tesla drivers. Now, the same people are driving cars into protesters for daring to smear the company. That’s unity. Blind unity. But unity.

          We can’t do anything even remotely close to that in party.
