    The longer the Americans focus their attention to the culture war, the less likely they pay attention to economic issues.

      Same tactics the Tories are using in the UK now, their deputy chairman has even admitted their record is so poor, the culture war is all they have left.

      We need to start hammering them. The media clearly is unwilling or unable to do it. Every time one of those right-wing family value fuckers starts talking about this stuff yell some catchphrase at them like

      “How about rent?” “What about the rising debt?” “Why isn’t insulin free?”.

      I am going to start with my local ones.

        Don’t forget the infrastructure failures either. You know… the train derailments, the collapsing bridges, the tens of thousands of people killed on our roads everyday. Point out that the right is waging a culture war at the expense of public safety. This is really fucking dangerous. Good luck as I am not sure much can be done because words have become meaningless.

      Economy is gone, look at the cumulated inflation over the last few years. And depleting Treasury.
