Every single one of these headlines would be better phrased as, “x does y and yet there will be no consequences and nothing will change”, because that’s the fucking reality.
Example:
Pam Bondi acts like a petulant toddler in front of Congress and yet there will be no consequences and nothing will change
The headline in the OP is clearly wrong. But you want to be lied to because it provides an optimistic message? That seems even more bootlicking than the strawman you presented in your comment.
Nah more like if we stop pretending through headlines that something is being done, we can wake up from this coma we seem to be in and actually take any action.
If that’s your goal, you may want to study which communication methods have proven to be effectively inspiring in past political movements. Because I’m pretty sure “there’s no winning” is not among them.
At some point you need to be realistic. Having false hope helps nobody. No, you will not be able to magically fix your broken ass country with elections, if those are even going to happen the way you think which I highly doubt.
That country is beyond saving. Give up false hope and get tf out of there.
Dude, it’s lemmy alright, I don’t think I’m exactly starting a political movement here.
I guess my point is more that cope-y articles like this one help people be complacent because they think that somehow the Trump fever will break on its own despite a decade of evidence to the contrary.
Tbf I think you’re both kind of right. Complacency and hopelessness are two sides of the same coin and it’s bloody difficult to land the damn thing on its edge.

“The media should only feed people hopelessness so that they will accept their lot in life and shut up about it.”

She might be removed.
I mean if you’re very certain you could bet on it on a prediction market… Just saying.
Right now the odds put her at like 7% chance to be removed by March 31.
Bongino was. Scapegoats have value.
