Wah

This message seems like whining to me

Such a tiny difference /s

The president of the United States has the least control over US citizens? I was with you until you wrote that. That is absolutely incorrect. And even if it was correct, local authorities never sent the national guard just to scare and demoralize the population. If you want to tune out and pretend things aren’t worse in the US than before, in many ways, go ahead, but don’t try and delude others on your way.

This is fine 🔥🫠🔥

I’m aware. Wasn’t really referring to that far in the past.

So by this logic, if Democrats win back control of our government, they will also deploy the military to maintain a police state, arrest and prosecute political enemies, and deport immigrants by the thousands? I can see your point to some degree but I don’t really buy any of the things I listed would be the case.

I don’t understand your point. Democrats also historically haven’t been the party of outright evil and fascism.

We’re approaching a huge turning point in US (and world) history. Either republicans are going to mostly lose for a long time (at least 6 years if I were to guess), maybe until they demonstrate they’ve changed, OR they are going to succeed at rigging or cancelling elections so they don’t have to give up power. I don’t think we can expect much in between those two extremes. Makes my stomach queasy as hell to think about.

Yeah I know what you mean. The tendency to take one comment and extrapolate an entire worldview is out of hand. Not just on lemmy, but I expect better on lemmy.

I used to try not to block people now but I’m getting a much more block-happy feeling recently.

Block feature is good.

Thank you for displaying perfectly the point I made with my other comment ITT. Based on barely more than zero, you declared me your political enemy.

This is my biggest problem with this place. Disagree a little and you’re scum. Someone recently told me to kill myself because I said “Nazis are horrible people, but they are in fact human”. This literally got me called a Nazi sympathizer. Because anything less than saying they’re literal cockroaches means you support awful right wing ideas.

People can’t wait to find a way to claim you believe horrible shit that you never said and is unlikely you believe. It’s fucking bizarre.

Looks like a Chevette

Sit with that for a few minutes.

Been sitting with that for years. It’s pretty awful for the soul.

I actually didn’t doubt it at all. He would 1000% say something this stupid.

I’m sure they’re extremely outraged that someone was killed for their opinion. Totally sure.

I think we’re past it in ways :/

It’s very unoriginal to say it at this point, but we live in the stupidest satire anyone could’ve ever written.
