Right Wing propaganda has been at it very specifically to find a moment of Biden weakness..... [View all]

that will stick to the American voter's memory. At this moment their prey is Pete Buttigieg. The stage is the train derailment in East
Palestine Ohio. They're wrapping everything from immigration to over regulation into his wheelhouse. He's correctly telling people that his hands are largely tied because of "conservative" resistance, past and current, to safety regulations. They're saying it is incumbent on Biden to fire him.

They're looking for the triple crown:
> making Biden look weak
> blame shaming the gay guy
> proving environmentalists are incompetent and regulations are worse than useless

It is now, more than ever, important to understand fully how everything they say is based on lies. Their only purpose is to disrupt the orderliness of a progressive society. The amazingly obvious part about their current campaign is that if Democrats had actually made the efforts they berate them for not making, they'd have been condemnatory about that just as vehemently. The means by which the RR company in this case made such ridiculous profits is the same reason they had such faulty maintenance of their system's safety infrastructure. Neither the regulations of Wall Street or of Interstate Commerce are actually enforced and in most cases were drafted, by "conservative's" institutional advisors, into law with an overt intent to preclude enforcement.

Pete's been getting slugged from a lot of angles over the last few days. I think the most reliable approach is to trust him first, over any of his critics. Solidarity!
