Mr Musk was a “special government employee”, which by Law is a temporary position of 130 DAYS. His time is simply over. This was never a permanent position, he did not get in trouble. If you believe the way the media is twisting this, once again you are the problem. Most of the media is biased.
Sorry but you’re just wrong. First of all, the “establishment” is conservatives. And second of all, any sane individual should be able to look at this administration and realize it’s a complete disaster and yet most legacy news media continues to act like it isn’t but also that the dumbassery Trump is doing is somehow good
First, most mainstream media leans left, especially on social and cultural issues. A well regarded 2020 Pew Research Center report shows that left leaning individuals trust a wider range of major outlets, while right leaning individuals trust far fewer, most notably Fox News. This indicates media consumption itself is slanted leftward in what dominates mainstream narratives. https://www.pewresearch.org/journalism/2020/01/24/u-s-media-polarization-and-the-2020-election-a-nation-divided/
Second, the idea that the U.S. Overton window is far right doesn’t align with actual cultural trends or policies. In fact, in areas like gender identity, race, DEI, and climate, it has shifted significantly left in recent years. The fact that people can be called far-right just for defending basic traditional positions shows the opposite of what you’re arguing.
Lastly, if anything, what’s labeled far left (like DEI overreach or climate policy) is often underplayed by media, not overplayed. There is a presence of far-left ideology in universities, social platforms, and even some corporate HR structures. That doesn’t mean the country is run by radicals, but it does mean far left influence is real, not a myth.
So no, the Overton window isn’t “far right.” It’s center-left socially, center-right economically, and the media reflects that — not a far-right bias. Doesn’t sound like anyone who doesn’t “suck trumps dick” are considered left leaning… it’s that you’re way too extreme to consider a left leaning source for what it is.
A far right authoritarian is in office. We have due process getting suspended just to attack POC. People proudly fly confederate flags. You guys call shit like gay rights “leftist extremism”. In any other country that would be called common sense. Bernie Sanders is a centrist in any developed country except the US. The Overton window is insanely far to the right
Bro you’re calling Bernie a centrist but ignore that America leads the world in DEI, LGBTQ policy, and woke corporate culture. Pew and Gallup show media trust skews heavily left, not right. The real Overton window? Culturally left, economically center-right. You’re just so far left that anything moderate looks fascist to you 💀
claim: "most mainstream media leans left" support: "left leaning individuals trust more media" reality: right wingers literally openly deny science and evidence claim: "cultural trends and policies are left leaning" support: "gender identity, DEI, and climate shift left" reality: climate policy (and policies respecting racial/gender disparities) being left-leaning is proof of denial of science and evidence.
claim: "overton window is center-left socially, center right economically" support: ... reality: center right economically is an interesting claim -- right extreme would be like laissez faire capitalism, which is what trump and musk and everyone there really wants to get closer to, no government programs, less regulation. center left... civil rights and some social programs to promote more equal conditions through social classes are being stripped and attacked
You keep trying to refute arguments by moralizing instead of addressing facts. Saying right-wingers deny science doesn’t disprove media bias… it just dodges the point. Studies from Pew, AllSides, and Ad Fontes all confirm mainstream outlets lean left in tone, framing, and coverage.
we have states that are challenging gay marriage rights, theres hundreds of propositions of anti-trans legislation each year and exponentially growing, any efforts to fight police brutality and racial discrimination are being met with multiples of the force in the opposite direction, any efforts made to create economic justice between racial classes to benefit those groups and society is being shut down aggressively
"disagreement with how those issues are implemented socially and politically" lets not be obtuse here, the argument has never been "how should be do this?" its "do or dont" academia is research. people that work with evidence. when they are actively researching and coming to consistent conclusions that are awaiting solid refute, thats as close to truth as youre going to get.
It’s not an echo chamber. You’re just objectively wrong. Sorry but science and decades of evidence prove that conservatives are wrong and reporting those objective facts is not “left leaning bias”. I’ve had 2 professors ever say anything left leaning and it was history professor say that the KKK was bad and geology professor say the earth is older than 6000 years old
3 sources more? no, thats one source and four hey guys i remember this but not gonna cite anything. and the one source you did use was bad (already explained it, please go up and read instead of OH OH YOU YOU DONT LIKE SCIENCE) i cannot imagine how many classes id fail if i did shit like this
No one is denying climate change… I’m calling it out. They’ve been using climate change as a fear tactic since the 60’s and it’s the same thing: “the world will have a catastrophic event in ≈10 years because of humans!!” And none of it ever happened. Sorry that I don’t blindly trust politicians on the climate 💀
Cool, so do I. That’s why I also trust atmospheric physicists like Richard Lindzen (MIT), William Happer (Princeton), and Patrick Moore (co-founder of Greenpeace)… all of whom reject the alarmist narrative. Climate change exists, but let’s not pretend the 10 years till catastrophe claim hasn’t been recycled since the 1960s and never delivered. Not all scientists agree with the political spin. Trusting science ≠ blindly trusting politicians and headlines.
Hey so the majority of scientists are stating that we will do irreversible damage if we don’t fucking fix it in 10 years. We’ve tried to do this in the passed with 2 other accords, however no one showed up to the Japan one and it was a verbal agreement for the second but the third, was the Paris Climate Accords which is what we are following now. Climate change is not a political spin and you calling it that proves how little you know. I am studying this for a career.
One thing I think republicans should consider is the impact of climate catastrophe on the birth rates they care about so much. Many women cite climate change as the reason they’re choosing not to have children. Taking action to protect the planet would have many positive effects, and one of them is a higher birth rate.
Furthermore, you stating that the catastrophe isn’t going to come (guess what it will. Sorry that I want the future generations to have a good life?) is just incorrect. Please shut up unless you’re majoring in it. You’re looking really uneducated. Because the catastrophe isn’t coming in 10 years, it’s irreversible. As in if we don’t fix it in 10 years then a catastrophe WILL come. And also climate change is the reason we’re having more hurricanes, floods, fires, freezes, tornadoes, drought
king tides are becoming more frequent which is so dangerous as they cancel unpredictable. La Niña years is becoming stronger creating more hurricanes hitting the east coast, where as El Niño creates drastic weather changes. The spring tides are getting extremely high and our sea walls cannot keep up
That’s a good example. But stronger La Nina/El Nino events aren’t automatically proof of catastrophic human-caused climate collapse. Correlation isn’t causation, and variation over decades isn’t new. What is new is how often short-term anomalies are used to justify sweeping, centralized policies. Scientific honesty means recognizing patterns and questioning exaggerated forecasts…especially when they’ve been wrong for over half a century.
If you believe science. You wouldn’t be skeptic about this issue. All of the other “ten year clocks” ended. They weren’t pushed back. Those ones had their permanent damage done and we’re seeing it right now. And science is literally a popularity contest thats how we create theories. Multiple options are put out and the debate and majority tends to go in the textbook as you learn about the other failed hypotheses
Okay yeah you’re right sure the world is literally on fire way more often than it was 10 years ago, and 20, and 30 but it’s totes normal. I’m literally majoring in this shit and you’re going about saying “meh not a big deal” to to a college and ask around. Learn from a professor not Google
biden probably didnt release it because friends and powerful people he needed and liked were on it. trump wont do it because hes on it elon is mad because trump wants to get rid of elons subsidies for evs and spacex, which really proves the point that elon is a libertarian except for himself because he lives on government money
