Yeah, and nobody engages with them here, either. Too busy posting graphs and scapegoating them.

It’s frightening this unhinged scapegoating

Sums it up.

Everyone keeps saying Alice is the spy, but have you even considered that Jensen was dealing directly with China instead and scapegoating his Chinese mistress is a tactic to avoid prison time and soften the financial blow to Nvidia and its investors (which includes the US president)? could be

A fun thing about reporting this out was the number of trump advisers who conceded they all extremely hate Lutnick and are fine scapegoating him because it’s not like you can rationally blame Lutnick for this debacle without also realizing it’s as much Trump’s fault as anyone’s
"‘Feeding Frenzy’: Trump’s Administration Erupts Over the Nvidia Scandal"

A cabinet secretary trashed a fellow cabinet secretary for allegedly failing to crack down on chip smuggling, as Trumpland tries to eat another one of its own.

the question “there aren’t even that many [people that have been scapegoated], why are [the scapegoaters] so obsessed with them?” a) answers itself b) is no robust defense of anyone c) supports further scapegoating

The out MS NOW anchor calls Republican scapegoating “repulsive” and warns that the cruelty doesn’t end when the candidates pushing it lose.

So, trans men are mostly "misdiagnosed girls . . . being shoved into a machine" but are also simultaneously 38-year-old butch lesbians? Classic incoherent scapegoating!

Scapegoating....

Bigoty and scapegoating.

Harris L3 should sue for defamation in this scapegoating.

Once again amongst their scapegoating,

Ilhan Omar just won her re-election in Minnesota 75-16.

Emmer won 54-44.

Totally unrelated but here’s my essay about Germany using antisemitism to whitewash its own history.

People need to stop pretending that Germany ‘learned’ its lessons. Nothing was learned.

German Catechism Versus Memory Culture
Germany’s scapegoating of the racialised Other is the end result of the absence of a critical memory culture that seeks to confront the past in all its ugliness.

Open boarders, Universal Healthcare, UBI and no more scapegoating trans people. No more half measures and finding the center. There is no green light. There's the yellow light of "don't fuck this up Dems, it's your last fucking shot"
Interesting dynamic here: Democrats have a green light to embrace tougher border enforcement; nobody’s really defending Biden’s 2021-2024 policy anymore. Very different with, say, trans athletes where zagging means activists put Dems on blast.
NEW: 2026 Democratic candidates throw Biden under the bus on the border

TALARICO ad: “I called out Joe Biden for failing us on the border.”

HAMILTON: “Immigration at the border under Biden was a disaster.”

COGNETTI: “The Biden administration failed at the border.”

Where is the scapegoating

The trap is that the tactics don’t stay tactical: once scapegoating and contempt become acceptable tools, they reshape what feels politically possible.

Of all of them "Joined Nov '24" is potentially the most damning and makes the others redundant

So why continue its work on another group? Why not end the cycle of scapegoating instead of adopting right-wing talking points that you admit you know were first used to oppress others? Whats up with that

Their entire nation is suffering from a scapegoating fascist freak.

If our next leaders can’t deliver as promised, the politics of scapegoating will come roaring back. It won’t be easy, but the voters are watching.

There is no place in our Senedd, or in our nation, for scapegoating or fearmongering, or any suggestion that any of our fellow citizens are a threat to our nation because of the colour of their skin, or their faith.
