    *sigh* Dem presidential candidates talking about "culturally normal." 🤦🏿‍♂️

    I don't want or need a president that silences the conversations that we need to protect people that aren't considered "culturally normal.🤡"

    That's how fascists chip away at the base of good people.

    I do want and need a president that will prioritize protecting the most vulnerable.

    That's how you protect people.

    C'mon y'all. This is the oldest trick in the fascist book. You agree to their pressure to only include those who are "culturally normal🤡." But then the definition changes over time.

    One day you find that you yourself are not "culturally normal.🤡"

    It's 2026. How are we still falling for this?

      How can anyone personify a cliche more than Newsom?

        @mekkaokereke I mean, I know it's a rhetorical question, but over and over again, we fight literal wars against slavers and Nazis, but we don't actually do the work of eliminating the racism (and misogyny!) that animates them. We're just not willing to that far.

            @OrionKidder @mekkaokereke truly. It’s like “Whew that was a tough battle against cancer. Probably ok if we just leave a little cancer behind right? A little cancer can’t hurt.”

              @mekkaokereke People don't want to consider that they may be in trouble someday, or have to face some harsh truths and do some work. They want to present it's all ok and not fragile. Especially most white people.

                @mekkaokereke uggggh. This cishet happily-married white woman thinks that "culturally normal" is a lie and a trap, Gavin Newsom can eat a dick, and if that man is the best Democrats can do, we're fucked.

                The worst thing is, I agree with him that Dems need to focus on the economy, affordability, etc.!! Just not at the expense of protecting diversity and leveling the playing field. It doesn't have to be either-or, and he's setting up a false dichotomy.

                  @mekkaokereke read a really frustrating piece of political analysis the other day in the Atlantic. The author seemed to think the way forward is to compete on nastiness. Took note of which slices of the electorate the author deemed disposable: native Americans, trans people, and remote workers. OK. I assume that somewhat idiosyncratic list will grow.

                    @mekkaokereke I’ve seen a few white male popular ‘left’ political content creators who are pro-Newsom oblivious to understanding the racism & misogyny in the news, but doing apologia for it. Implying that those who did see it & were impacted were ‘overreacting or seeing things not there’.

                    They can’t be listening to diverse & intersectionally impacted voices & lack the care to get truly informed POVs. It’s just more white male supremacy, queer phobes, ableism, & capitalism.

                      @mekkaokereke Yes. Fascism can only be defeated through solidarity. I support activists, politicians, and media outlets who put this fact at the center of their practices.

                          I don't want or need any president. That is too much power for one person to have, and it causes great schisms in the populace.

                            @mekkaokereke "Normal" is itself not a healthy *construct*, much less a societal goal.--it used to bother me more that I'm not in it, but that's where the art comes from.

                                *sigh* Dem presidential candidates talking about "culturally normal." 🤦🏿‍♂️

                                I don't want or need a president that silences the conversations that we need to protect people that aren't considered "culturally normal.🤡"

                                That's how fascists chip away at the base of good people.

                                I do want and need a president that will prioritize protecting the most vulnerable.

                                That's how you protect people.

                                C'mon y'all. This is the oldest trick in the fascist book. You agree to their pressure to only include those who are "culturally normal🤡." But then the definition changes over time.

                                One day you find that you yourself are not "culturally normal.🤡"

                                It's 2026. How are we still falling for this?

                                @mekkaokereke I'm afraid we know the answer to that. *We* aren't falling for it. The ones who are? Are okay with it.

                                  Did Gavin Newsom do another Gavin Newsom thing? Is that what happened?

                                    @mekkaokereke I mean, most Dems are still blaming Jill Stein because their candidate couldn't be bothered to mumble even a couple phrases about why climate change or genocide are unappealing, so this is par for the course .

                                        Those who learn from history are doomed to grinding their bicuspids to powder in frustration as it repeats itself around them.

                                          @mekkaokereke Gavin Newsom is a highly effective troll.

                                          In the age of Donald that's valuable.

                                          But he's still a goddamn troll.
