brucoe Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I think what we're starting to experience is a particular period in time where accountability is completely absent from political discourse. Previously, just the hint of bad behavior was almost enough to derail a politician, but now we have politicians who have zero qualms about committing any amount of infractions, crimes, murders or rapes because they'll wait out the ramifications and have people fight their battles for them over social media. I hope I'm wrong here, but I suspect he's not going to resign, and he's going to continue acting as if this is just another hiccup in his political career. The urge to blame the era of Trump is always present, but I suspect this is a symptom of post Al Franken reactions where communication directors realized that accountability only loses the platform, and thus, the only successful strategy for bad behavior is business as usual until the farm explodes.

Also, nobody, I mean nobody in Jersey or NY actually calls it anything but the Tappan Zee. I've never in my life heard "take the Cuomo bridge", I've only heard that when someone ridicules the attempted name change. They just need to take that dumb official name change off and done.

I think it ebbs and flows. When you have outright violence/revolt against leaders, they get afraid of death. After a while, they are less afraid of death, but still afraid of upsetting the public. Then, even farther down the road, they are not afraid of anything. Then, they grow so bold that violence/revolt erupts again. We're near that late stage right now, I think, in the US. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know many here were always lukewarm at best to Cuomo, but I remember (I think it was actually you) talking about how Cuomo's press conferences were actually comforting at the beginning of the pandemic, that it was nice to see some leaders out there with plans and authority over COVID since Trump seemed lost and uninterested. I really wanted this to be an example of him meeting the moment, but it wasn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
