Summary
Donald Trump is reshaping U.S. culture through a propaganda-driven strategy that rebrands symbols and controls narratives.
His actions include renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, issuing numerous executive orders, pressuring media outlets, and taking over cultural institutions like the Kennedy Center.
These moves, aimed at consolidating power and curbing dissent, mirror tactics used by authoritarian regimes, as the administration uses symbolism, legal challenges, and media manipulation to control public discourse.
Trump didn’t reshape shit.
When shit sucks, people go against the status quo.
Blame the dem party insiders who fixed the last three primaries to shove status quo candidates no one wanted down our throats. Practically while shouting “our else” in our faces the whole time. It worked once… When Trump was the incumbent so even Biden wasn’t the “status quo” candidate then trump was and he lost despite going against someone who couldn’t win a primary for 40 years
Then they honestly couldn’t figure out why they were losing the youth vote
Stop giving fascists credit for things the only other option keep fucking up.
The problem isn’t trump is some massive political force, it’s that people don’t have an option they actually want.
We haven’t run a good candidate for decades, neither party wants the election to be about how great their candidate is, just how shitty the other party is.
I get while Republicans do it, but the only explanation for Dems to do it is they’re playing for donations not votes, I just can’t believe they can blow thru a billion plus every four years and can’t do any better than this shit
Dems run national elections like a stepdad play Shoots and Ladders and desperately wanting the kids to like him, winning just isn’t even on the list of priorities.
That’s a very one-sided take. It leaves out one of the most important factors, the media and their role in censoring and magnifying news to fit the political identities of their consumers. Had they been accurately reporting on Trump’s actions and results first-term, no human being in their right minds would have elected him a second time.
You realize the first ones to boost trump was Hillary and the DNC…
Right?
Like I shouldn’t assume people lived thru it, it was 9 years ago, you might not have been paying attention to politics then.

They knew people didn’t like Hillary and that nothing would change that.
So they found the worst person possible and talked him into running to make Hillary be the best choice. And still fucked it up.
I am with you. I am still the same open-minded, left wing, caring person I was in 2016…Trump has reshaped me. If anything he made me realize my shape is very important. And I plan on keeping my shape.
