| Trump is manipulating, and Using The OVERTON WINDOW and It's Driving the Washington DC establishment 🤣 |
Apologists for Trump believe that he's using a OVERTON WIDOW to get his agenda going . I admit, Donald Trump has been doing impressive things in the last 30 days, you have to think he's going to make till his 100 days and address the nation on national television 📺. But Trump's plans are both good and also bad . His bad ideas are going to get him , and the country into trouble. His good ideas, however might indeed reshape the American government for the next four years. This is described by the concept of the "Overton Window": Start w/ most extreme position, so subsequent positions will appear "moderate." The idea behind the Overton Window is that today’s fringe ideas/beliefs can become tomorrow’s normal by shifting the boundaries of acceptable discourse. You do that by introducing people to more & more extreme ideas, so everything else seems reasonable in comparison. The devil is always in the details, but as Trump’s plan unfolds, liberals will need to evaluate the necessity of a centralized Departments of government that need to be overhauled .Trump “has moved with brazen haste to dismantle the federal government’s public integrity guardrails that he frequently tested during his first term but now seems intent on removing entirely,” the Trump shockwaves are going to be a bit disturbing to many of the Leftist Democrats.Since when is taking a machine gun and firing it into a crowd considered “a Distraction”?Analogy explanation: He’s firing off multiple EOs not to distract, but to dismantle everything at a rate that we cant keep up with, both legally and mentally. Chaos in right in the OVERTON WIDOW.What I don't understand is, Elon Musk, a naturalized citizen or an illegal immigrant that went over his visa stay have such visceral hatred for what American stands for that he's re-creating an image of what 'America' should be about, under HIS definition, not the Webster dictionary definition. Eventually I think he's going to be like parasite in his bunker, surrounded by 'yes' men. That's his future since a civil war isn't going to be to his liking one bit and that's where we are heading quite sooner than later.They will never tell us their end goal because there would be riots if we knew. They are trying to legitimize an autocracy and the democrats are complicit in their inaction. It’s time for us, the American people, to use the political turmoil and chaos that is about to ensue and seize the means of production. They don’t care. We can’t win with the the Democrats, or the Republicans. We need to put the power back in the hands of the people, and that means taking back what the oligarchs have stolen from us. Our production and our hard work that results in their profits. Please be cautious-The Overton window has shifted and this should worry you as liberal minded folk. Now it's super important that we stay aware of how we perceive our political options and how our opinions have been swayed over the years. Yes, after eight years of hyper-conservatism, it might feel like a relief to see someone who isn't advocating for the extremes we've grown accustomed to. In fact, even staunch Republicans like Judge J. Michael Luttig (The same guy who supported detaining U.S. citizens as enemy combatants, upheld the death penalty, opposed abortion rights, and defended expansive executive power during the War on Terror, etc.) have endorsed her over Trump. And that should tell you something important. We must be careful not to fall into the trap of thinking that just because there is nothing "better than Trump," we should lower our expectations and abandon policies. The last eight years have conditioned us to see anything less extreme as acceptable, but that doesn't mean we should settle.There has been a noticeable shift in the American political compass, particularly in how moderate or centrist positions are perceived. Over the last few decades, and especially after the Trump era, some policies that would have been considered far-right or fringe are now mainstream in conservative circles. Conversely, policies that would have been considered centrist or moderately conservative, like those of George W. Bush, are now sometimes viewed as more left-leaning due to the rightward shift of the Overton window.
