To be totally clear—the ongoing 'Imagine If The Roles Were Rev | Millennial Woes
To be totally clear—the ongoing "Imagine If The Roles Were Reversed!"-ing from mainstream Con, Inc. pundits does not count as "standing up" to anything.
We know! We know they lie! We know there are two sets of rules! We know they're hypocrites—the hypocrisy is the point—their whole worldview is dependent on hypocrisy and different sets of rules for different people and situations.
The problem with simply pointing this out over and over is that it comes off like pleading and begging for the system to start applying "the rules" in an even-handed way—we know that this will never happen.
I have said it before, but anybody who is serious about fighting this should have dramatically different expectations for their state and local politicians, and the first thing on that list of expectations should be to acknowledge that "the rules" don't matter anymore.
