(885 posts)Just add this to the long list of issues that should have everyone up in arms. If this was a Dem issue, thats all we would be hearing about. Disgusting.

(13,384 posts)They know we have media fatigue. They know most people want to live their lives in peace and only way to do that is to tune out. They know only people paying attention are ones interested in politics and their fans.
So they threaten the activists like us, going to big blue cities to scare us into silence.
I can't wait for the next protest and I have to go alone as my girlfriend can't come due to operation.

(758 posts)We have been listening to this crap every day for over 10 years, and nothing is done about it. I am not saying that any thing CAN be done about it, but all the hysterical claims that "he won't survive this one!" have worn every one out.

Once everyone is starving, living under a complete fascist dictatorship and wondering what the fuck happened, then well see some outrage. But itll likely be too late.
Most everyone just went to work and about their normal lives in Germany until the bombs started dropping.

Journalism in that arena is dead.

(4,736 posts)... it's just not being reported by corrupt corporate media. And then there's outrage exhaustion. There's a new outrage every 20 minutes or so, making it whack-a-mole on steroids.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
