“A pluralistic democratic order… is based on a distinction between ‘enemy’ and ‘adversary’. It requires that, within the context of the political community, the opponent should be considered not as an enemy to be destroyed, but as an adversary whose existence is legitimate and must be tolerated.”

The re-emergence of the “strong man” in democratic politics, meanwhile – Donald Trump, Jair Bolsonaro, Narendra Modi, Viktor Orbán, Recep Tayyip Erdogan – has gone hand in hand with the demonisation and ridicule of political opponents.

The good guy vs bad guy, good vs evil, theme is the basis of right wing media, they are selling the melodrama, pimping hate to make a buck
 
The actual plan which used to actually work was a-posing theories working to come up with a better idea for the people


Not hating each other

Trying to actually come up with better ways foreword

The current right merely a poses everything the left tries to do



Party over country


They have done it for decades


The minute they began cheating in elections


Thinking up good ideas was tossed by out of the window by republicans

They are a traitorous party
 
Ingram and hannity were begging trump to stop the insurrection


Yet they kept reporting that it was a picnic
 
Murdoch knows he’s not telling the truth through fox


Fox in America was begun to be propaganda


He has done it all over the world


He knows exactly what he’s doing

It's more about antiglobalization than strong man archetypes.

You keep missing the point.

And being anti global is an idiot pursuit that things like global warming and pandemics should have already taught you



It’s why you idiots deny they exist
 
Republican ideas keep crashing the global economy


Face that you are massive failure or take the shunning your idiot ideas deserve due to their constant failures in practice bring
