Bit of a tangent, but this pains me every time I read this in threads.
I wanted to join Lemmy after the Reddit exodus, found out that ml was “the main one” made by the devs and joined it. Last time I carefully tried to pick an instance was Mastodon, and I hardly ever found any content. Decided to check back in the other day, and every account except for the admin’s (like less than 50) was removed for inactivity.
I’m not some far-right or Russian troll, but because most of them are on that instance everyone on it gets this reputation.

If your “gotcha” is that your enemies are against genocide you should do some introspection
If you are a little pink and you now it say:
The Tiananmen Square massacre in 1989 happend.

If you like winning you should try not embracing genocide
Trump: “I stopped the genocide.”
Us: “You made the genocide worse!”
Trump: “Worse? Or better?”
/Invader Zim Reference - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDIgS-Soo9Q
If your “gotcha” is you prefer the genocide to get worse to “teach people a lesson”, you need to do some introspection as well.
Nah my “gotcha” is already stated: you shouldn’t accept genocide. Shame on you for doing so.
Nah bro. That is not what you said. You are not against genocide. You support it with a troll face.
It is kinda what I said though, isn’t it?
If it’s any consolation you and everyone else are likely to get a firsthand lesson in it in the near future.
Now EVERYONE is fucked. Congrats!
Rather than wishing ill upon others, try to be less accepting of genocide.
You now what would be total bodacious of you? If you could say:

You have played a role today, in the signing of Palestine’s death warrant. Congratulations, my kin will remember what you’ve done to us for the sake of using our dead for your cynical abandonment of your post defending against our greatest enemies.
No, I heard your gotcha. But the reality is standing to the side telling people “I told you so” is just sticking your head in the sand. You are enabling a worse genocide just for the sake of moral masturbation.
You might as well tell the people feeding the homeless they are “accepting homelessness” as well. Amounts to the same bullshit logic.
But when Trump enables a full scale genocide, you can pay yourself on the back and say “I had nothing to do with that”.
There is no worse genocide. It’s already supported to the hilt. You just support it.
Probably shouldn’t have done that, huh?
Go ahead and try to redeem your soul and see you can become a benefit to society instead.

I hope that sense of moral superiority helps you sleep at night. I hope that you are right, and that the Palestinian people won’t face a worse wrath because of your folly. And I truly hope that the road to hell isn’t paved with your good intentions. Because the way I see it, letting Trump win may well be the bell tolling on humanity, and those who stood to the side and didn’t help will have all that blood on their hands.
Thanks for the concern for my soul, but I would gladly damn it to prevent the problems we are about to face. Maybe when it gets bad, you will be willing to get yours dirty to help for a change.
can you actually shut the fuck up right now. women and minorities have there lives on the line and all y’all can talk about is this. if kamala wins we can protest her stance. if trump wins and we protest his stance he’s already said he’ll deploy the national guard. y’all are so smug about ruining your chances of helping these people
Maybe you shouldn’t have supported genocide.
Never again means never again for anyone. Remember what you sold your soul for and try to redeem it.
Trump is gonna triple-down on the Palestinian genocide and pull all support from Ukraine and probably pull out of NATO to let Putin do whatever he wants to Europe.
He’s also promised violence against Americans who oppose him.
You’re replying to a lemmy.ml user, they almost certainly think pulling out of NATO and allowing Putin to continue his genocide in Ukraine is a good thing.
The Biden-Harris regime already tripled down on the genocide as much as is possible.
Re: Ukraine, forcing a diplomatic resolution is by far the best option for the Ukrainian people and any realistic person’s expectations of outcomes. Let’s hope they are no longer the pawns of American maximalist foreign policy.
Re: NATO, the best possible timeline is one where it ends as soon as possible.
Re: violence against Americans guess what we’re already there if you do anything worthwhile politically.
Is trump going to do anything different though?
Former President Donald Trump declared Tuesday that Israel must “finish the problem” in its war against Hamas
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-israel-gaza-finish-problem-rcna141905
If the above is true, I don’t know why anyone would bring his up. It’s like choosing between two seats on a bus. One has broken glass on it, the other has broken glass and is on fire.
Is trump going to do anything different though?
Given that the policy is already maximalist, he cannot do worse. This is what liberals have tolerated for over a year.
If the above is true, I don’t know why anyone would bring his up. It’s like choosing between two seats on a bus. One has broken glass on it, the other has broken glass and is on fire.
They are both on fire, but one is honest about it. Maybe you will actually oppose genocide now that the orange man will be in charge.
I’m not sure you understood. The fire is all of the other nonsense policies that trump comes up with, and that his party is likely to impose.
If you think selling weapons is a maximalist policy, you are very naive.
If you think that’s all the US does, you are very naive.
If Trump wins because enough of you idiots couldn’t hold your nose and vote then the blood of those Palestinians is on your hands. You don’t get to absolve yourself because you chose not to participate in democracy.
You aren’t opposed to genocide because you couldn’t be assed to do the smallest thing to mitigate it.
Neither did you. Lol. Kamala was never gonna change her stance.
If Trump wins because enough of you idiots couldn’t hold your nose and vote then the blood of those Palestinians is on your hands.
Or maybe you shouldn’t have thrown yourself in the pro-genocide Genocide Joe Lite camp.
You don’t get to absolve yourself because you chose not to participate in democracy.
lmao what democracy? Did you choose Harris? What primary did she win?
You aren’t opposed to genocide because you couldn’t be assed to do the smallest thing to mitigate it.
By doing what, voting for someone complicit in the Biden-Harris regime’s genocide? You are so flipped around.
Never again means never again for anyone. Get it through your skull.
I’m not going to play chess with a pigeon but one day you’ll have your first moment of introspection and I hope it results in your realisation that while not complicit in the “Biden-Harris Genocide” you are absolutely 100% complicit in each and every consequence of a Trump-Vance administration which includes the genocide of Palestine.
Nobody’s “souls” matter anymore. The world is completely fucked and our physical bodies are going to be going through the ringer very soon. I hope you’re on the right side of the people who can now do whatever they want with absolutely no guardrails. Otherwise you’re about to REALLY experience solidarity.
You should be against genocide and act accordingly. Let tonight teach you that lesson.
I’ve learned no lesson. I secured a permanent residency abroad the first time this chucklefuck was in office, and I’ve already bought my plane ticket out. I feel so, so awful for people who voted reasonably and are stuck there, and I encourage everyone who can to get out now, but I’ll be damned if I’m going to let the self-righteous attitudes of people with no sense try to punish me for exercising logic.

I guess we’ll get to find out if there is such a thing as “worse genocide”
Not in terms of American support, you won’t. Biden is already the maximum.
We’ll see.
Oh man, if you think it was bad under Biden…
It will be the same but liberals will be less asleep during atrocities.
Lol k. I bet things get better for everyone now, huh?
If you decide to be part of the right side of history, it will help that, yes. Are you going to?
What is the right side of history, dipshit? Letting Trump annihilate the rest of the Palestinians to prove a point of having some semblance of hope that someone else might do better?
Go fuck yourself.
Oh, man. If you were happy with the genocide under Biden…
If you honestly believe the situation in Palestine will be better with the Cheeto in charge of the US, then you are insane.
The US is a deeply flawed democracy, and like it or not, any choice other than voting for the Democrats, including abstaining is a vote for the Cheeto.
But you are a .ml user, so you are either trolling or a useful idiot.
Oh look, the very-serious Cheetoh dialog has arrived.
Focus on self-reflection and redeeming yourself for accepting genocide. Go do some work in your community and for humanity.
I said this before, and I’ll say it again, since both parties in the election (don’t try and claim that the greens have any hope of winning, they only serve to split the Democrat vote) seem disinterested in the horrific situation in Palestine, you pick the least bad candidate.
If you don’t, you get the worst candidate for everyone.
I am not American, but if I were, I’d pick Harris no question.
Since you are supporting Trump, tell me, how does is feel supporting a sexist, racist, convicted felon who also supports genocide?
Remember that in the US idiotic election system, any vote other than the Dems is a vote for the Reps, and any vote for the Reps is a vote for a worse society.

If you won’t listen to basic moralism, listen to your resounding strategic loss.
Don’t you worry now, Trump will make sure that the suffering of the Palestinian people will end quickly

No this only proves the misogyny ingrained in the US. We will never allow a woman to be president.
This proves that you need to at least pander to the left to win, i.e. the only consistently anti-genocide group in the country. Maybe you should join them instead of tolerating genocide.
Honestly I’m wondering if that’s why the margin Trump is winning is so “huge”. The US will never vote for a woman president. Both times Trump has gone up against a woman, he’s won. But against a man, he lost.
When CNN interviewed a black man at a previously Biden stronghold in Georgia, he said “women are emotional” and “I don’t think they make great leaders”
The men who voted for Biden in 2020 voted for Trump because they were afraid of a women being in a position of power.
You’re right
Absolutely. This country is way more misogynistic and racist than I realized

Wait there’s more here… doesn’t believe in climate change, a guy who actively wants to prove that vaccines don’t work actually in charge of health related shit, enabling the genocide of Ukraine (hey a whole new genocide!), pulling out of alliances or and what’s this last fun one, threatening the already flawed foundations of US democracy by, among other things, threatening to deploy the military against political opponents.
Is that was winning and being morally superior looks like? Because it looks pretty awful from here.
Now instead of having a president that supports the genocide of Palestinians you’ll have… checks notes … a president that supports the genocide of Palestinians.
Yeah maybe you should have demanded better instead of tolerating genocide. Your camp lost. I know I didn’t tolerate it.
Oh, I wish I could. The moral high ground means doesn’t buy anyone their rights or life back unfortunately, so you got a pretty bad deal there.
I’m not American so not sure exactly who my camp is or what I was supposed to do. Enjoy your measles and smallpox, hope it was a good trade in exchange for making zero difference to Palestinians in the best case.
Why did you ignore all the other points? I’d love to hear someone accept what Trump has done and will do. If Trump pulls out of Ukraine and allows another genocide, what will be your argument then? “Never again”? Or are you just trolling?
I wouldn’t even bother replying to comments from hexbear mk II. I just automatically assume troll.
Seriously? Fuck you. This supports the genocide of every LGBTQ+ person in all of North America, be it directly or indirectly. No one wants what is happening in Gaza. But, I have to say the potential genocide (in the complete erasure of culture as well as open murders with little to no consequences sense) here is even higher.
I have the unfortunate circumstance of being a trans woman in GA. I already have had to completely shut off most contact with people, both work and personal.
I’ve already had rocks thrown at me in an attempt to kill me (this was years ago, even). I already feel like I have to carry a gun. If things go the way they seem, I will even have to order in groceries because it will further empower the people that hate my existence.
The foreign policy is shit, no question. However, I don’t like the possibility of being raped and murdered by some asshole that thinks he understands Co² emissions after watching some video.
I have a lot to say here, especially as a very blue collar machinist. I will refrain, though.
In conclusion: by “avoiding” the genocide in Gaza (which may have been resolved), you have also doomed people like me to maybe live in fear for the rest of our lives.
Please say:
The Tiananmen Square massacre in 1989 happend.
They’re still gonna die under trump though, i don’t get your point
Hope the price of eggs was worth sacrificing all your civil liberties America
You deserve everything you’re going to fucking get.
The amount of interviews I’ve seen where people say “yeah, he has some concerning talking points, but he promised a good economy” boil my fucking blood. The safety of half the population for the empty promise of jobs.
Can’t wait til they somehow spin the failed economy against the Dems again in four years.
We’re truly and utterly fucked…
I have an idea! Let’s put the guy whose policies partly contributed to our current economic state back in charge of everything. He’ll definitely fix it this time.
Too many people have a 4 year attention span, think the president “makes all the laws and is responsible for literally everything that’s wrong with everything right now” and will vote with emotion. If the US government is good at anything it’s keeping a lot of people poor, uneducated and angry.
Other countries included. And coups, lets not forget the coups https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_involvement_in_regime_change
Yeah the thing is the average trump supporter will be hurt less than everyone else (and that’s the whole point)
Hahahaha no they fucking won’t … they’re just too goddamn gullible to blame spurious sources, like liberal policies that are fucking them with taxes…not the trillions of tax gifts given to the billionaires the fucking moron represents.
The supporters will continue to be ignorant, stupid and blame all of their problems on liberals, instead of the 1% absolutely raking their ignorant asses over the coals
We’re fucked, the supporters are fucked too but they’re too stupid to know the leopards will eat their face too.
There’s gonna be lots of content for leopardsatemyface in the next few years
Oh, no. They will be hurt the same as everyone else but The Donald will just tell them that it’s the Democrats/immigrants/gay people’s/critical race theory’s fault and they will believe him because having someone else to blame for their problems is a lot easier than fixing their problems.
No, straight cis white men will get hurt economically and through living in a degraded society, but they will not be forced to carry pregnancies, or be murdered because of their race or their sexual orientation.
And they know that. As long as he hurts those others even more they’re fine with what he does to them.
Clearly not only cis white men voted for him though. And those people are definitely going to be hurt, and I’m sorry to say but they will fucking deserve it.

Yeah, the demographics of voters are just made up, huh? They are the overwhelming supporters of the far right. Don’t wanna be painted like that? Don’t vote for fascists.
I’m a cis white guy too, for the record, and I’m not saying it’s something inherent in skin colour or having a penis that makes someone an asshole. But it’s classic bully behaviour to tell people lower on the hierarchy “look what you made me do”. You want things to be less divided then you should start by accepting the simple facts.
deleted by creator
There’s already an article stating Trump did better than expected with almost every demographic. It’s not just white men
If someone “perceives they are losing out” because of doing something positive for women or minorities then that says a lot about their worldview, they are the ones responsible for polarisation there.
Agreed on the campaign though, it was the dems’ to lose and they royally fucked it up.
We all know that’s not true. He hates his supporters. He just didn’t realize the first time through that they were trashy and ::gasp:: poor.
Please don’t forget that neatly half of the country realizes he’s insane and is terrified. Not everyone deserves this. Tens of millions of us out there don’t want this.
I heard a lot of commentary about the price of eggs tonight. I live in San Diego, America’s most expensive city. I’ve seen at some major chains a dozen eggs in the $6 - $9 range. Most stores I’ve seen them around $4 or $5 bucks a dozen. I also purchased a dozen yesterday for $2.79, and that was through Doordash even. So like, I call bullshit. Americans are dumb and too lazy to shop around. The gas station closest my house is $5.80 according to Google just now, but I filled up last night about 5 miles away with cash for $3.99. So infuriating that lack of effort or stupidity is likely what drove Trump back into office.
I will be shocked if the cost of living comes down at a notable rate when compared to other developed countries.
Conservatives have never been better at managing the economy, yet people believe they are, for some reason ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Are you surprised that most people are just dumb as bricks?
I hate this as a Canadian cause it’s gonna mess with our economy. But it will also stoke more support for the current conservative dickbag running to be prime minister. Also I don’t want more Americans moving here.
Also I don’t want more Americans moving here.
I have a sad feeling the rest of the world feels the same way.
I’m at the point where I want to leave these borders. I want to go somewhere relatively quiet and developed that has worker’s rights and isn’t some major turbulent player in the game of global domination.
I’d respect my new home and integrate and do my best to get along with my new neighbors.
But I’m pretty sure we’re stuck here to endure this madness.
The rich have already departed though. So you’ll probably end up with less humble American refugees and more pompous real-estate moguls. And for that, I’m sorry.
This is going to have a chilling effect on democracy, and an energizing effect on fascism, worldwide. The movement to try to limit climate change is now dead and buried, worldwide. There is no part of the world that is safe from the effects of this.
There’s no such thing as an undecided voter.
They’ve either decided, or decided to do something bad and don’t want you to judge them.
The world: literally doesn’t care
This has gotta be fraud, there’s just no way America would choose a convicted felon over a woman… right?
- There’s no way any number of women would choose someone promising to curtail their medical rights.
- There’s no way any non-white would choose someone so racist
- There’s no way any immigrant would choose someone scapegoating their culture and promising to deport them even if they are citizens
- There’s no way anyone who has listened to his speeches would choose a gibberish idiot
- There’s no way anyone who witnessed the mess last time around would want to repeat it
- There’s no way anyone who older person would choose a known real estate grifter
- There’s no way a parent would choose anyone threatening their child’s future
I’m sure we could go on, but I just read an article that Trump did better than expected with every demographic except college educated women. How ?
I’m not just worried, I am frightened and have nowhere to turn.
It’s OK, you’re not alone in that fear.
I voted against him. Was my vote illegal? Am I going to jail?
You can come to Germany! We might have 1 - 5 years left till everything goes down the drain.

Ah shit. c/all is full of US election stuff now. Give me a break, just tell me the result in january.
Yep, we did it. We are Homer Simpson. D’Oh
More than anything I’m depressed by the precedent that this sets for the world on attitude and actions. He literally attacked and abused his way to the top. And a majority of Americans support it. Holy fuck.
About 6 million fewer votes for Trump than last election, which is good, but it doesn’t matter since there are 18 million fewer votes for Harris than for Biden last election! Where were those 18 million people? It can’t be that all of them are in the “I don’t vote for genocide” camp. What happened?
It’s never been clearer that not voting gives the election to the Republicans.
Not all have been counted yet
They just called Wisconsin for Trump which puts him over 270.
Yeah but the point was about what turnout was. We know who won but it’s a bit early to discuss relative turnout compared to 2020. It is likely lower, but the specifics will be a while.
There’s no question turnout is lower. Both Trump and Harris received fewer votes than Trump and Biden last time around. Neither of them are inspiring. Yeah Trump has a base, but a lot of Republicans don’t like him but some still voted for him. Harris was uninspiring and had a lot of baggage from the last 3 and 1/2 years. She would not have won a primary in my opinion, if Biden hadn’t insisted on going for a second term initially.
It’s very strange to me that turnout is lower, purely because when I went out to vote there was a line goin out the building, which I have never seen before in my area
I don’t know what the final turnout figures will be, but if it is a lower turnout, I can think of a few:
- 2020 was the easiest year to mail in a ballot ever, and it got harder again as states reinstated various difficulties with mail in ballots.
- So many people didn’t have to go into work in 2020, they had more flexibility to vote however they needed to do it.
It’s not just the “I don’t vote for genocide” camp; there’s also the “can’t this fucker at least campaign properly” camp and the “I’m not voting for this right wing nonsense” camp, among others. Harris was just that bad at this.
So you’re saying people decided to avoid voting for right wing nonsense, and let Donald “Dictator on Day One” Trump win instead?
Exactly. I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make, but that is exactly what happened.
It’s easier to blame the voters than to blame the democrats for a miserable campaign
I blame both. The democrat party and the ones who didn’t vote.
If Biden hadn’t insisted on running despite his declining mental state, she wouldn’t have won a primary, not very likely anyway. She is uninspiring and she carries the baggage of the struggling/non-existent middle class, housing market, 12 million border crossings etc.
The honest truth is that the Harris/Walz campaign did not motivate their voter base. People were talking about doing fucking vote swaps with people in swing states because they didn’t want to vote for Harris.
I have no idea what the fuck the whole “courting the right” angle was, but it failed. Maybe it was the stance on Gaza, maybe it was the stance on immigration, maybe it was just feeling spurned by the party for caring about alot of issues like trans rights Harris left to the wayside while campaigning, but it didn’t motivate people to cut through the bullshit and go to the polls.
Meanwhile, Trump stayed in the news 24/7, constantly doubling down on his rhetoric, and his voters mostly all turned out again.
Maybe sexism and racism are not isolated to the right wing, possibly a lot more in the centre than assumed. Maybe just enough in certain demos to affect turnout.
It’s weird because I even noticed this among liberals. The presidential candidates are always referred to by last name. But both times a woman tried to run, people referred to her as her first name whether you are conservative or liberal or what have you. I have found it a bit disrespectful tbh, and all sides have been guilty of this. The US will never elect a female president, let alone a female president of color. It’s bizarre.
maybe it’s just because that’s the more memorable/unique parts of their name?
trump/biden is much more distinctive than donald/joe
clinton could refer to both bill or hillary
obama/kamala is more memorable than barack/harris (though maybe for obama that’s just because I’ve heard ‘obama’ so many times)I’m not saying that’s definitely not true, just that there might be other reasons why
I suppose I could give it to you for Hillary Clinton because it could have been confusing wrt Bill. But with Harris, I’m not buying it. Both “Barack” and “Obama” are equally distinct to me. We have never had a president Harris before, so it’s plenty distinct enough. It’s not as though presidential candidates always have wildly distinct and uncommon names.
People did it with Obama too, he was “Barack” to some.
The US is a much more chauvinistic nation than many but it’s also by far and away the most violent nation in the industrialized world. The two are definitely linked.

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine explicitly called to boycott both candidates.
“Oh no, 18 million people stopped voting the Dems! Surely it’s the voter’s fault, not democrats being genocidal ghouls who can’t offer a shred of progressiveness!”
The popular front are fucking idiots and the people who listened to them even more so. Do they not realize how much worse Trump is for Palestine? Israel named a settlement after him and he praised their attitude against Palestine. Americans are stupid af but I called it after Harris was made the candidate that Dems now gifted Trump the presidency.
Wake up. The elections happened. Now it’s PROVEN that running a campaign on genocide, on shaking hands with Dick Cheney, and on shitting on progressives, gets you horrible results if you’re a dem.
The popular front are fucking idiots
Please, white saviour, explain Palestinians how to liberate themselves while endorsing a candidate that openly supports their genocide.
The only one who openly supported their genocide was Trump who now won thanks to them. They will now see what a mistake that was. I feel better at least knowing they now are at fault themselves. I dont have empathy with those who voted Trump or didnt vote anymore. Feels bad for the actual palestinians in Palestine though. But the stupid front? Nah they digged their own hole.
The only one who openly supported their genocide was Trump
Funding Israel while talking of “the right of Israel to defend itself” seems pretty supportive of the genocide in my book.
Again, I’m sure you know better as a likely white American what to do about it than the literal PFLP.
Seeing as the pflp caused Trump to win they know absolutely nothing. And yes, Israel has a right to defend itself. So does every country. They dont have a right to commit genocide though.

Agreed.
I have no idea what you are saying, I can’t read this.
When Trump was first elected, it made me realize how stupid most of the US is. The results of this election were not surprising, I even linked to the sort of self-serving articles that preceded just before Hillary-Trump’s elections to people who were doing the same in this election. At least in this election, it’s sort of like Israel, they are leaving no doubt about who they support. I don’t even care if Kamala gets the popular vote, most criticize the electoral college word only and refuse to consider gerrymandering as electoral fraud, leading to it occurring in greater and newer ways this election.
Gerrymandering is clearly electoral fraud, but
- it’s not black and white. There’s no clear line between fraud and good
- the people benefiting the fraud are the ones in control of it
- gerrymandering does not affect presidential or senate elections
Why are americans so stupid and yet manage to export so much smart stuff from tech to podcasts to scientists. Is it some sort of dystopia where 1% rules, 20% live in a bubble and 79% are just brain dead idiots?

Then there’s us smart ones who see what’s going on, but we’re outnumbered by idiots.
I fear you may have hit the nail on the head
1-America imports smart people from all over the world.
2-Technical smarts and don’t-vote-for-fascism smarts are different.
Yeah but basically everyone I follow from podcasters to tech developers are all non-idiots and I assume their following are also mostly non-idiots. Where are all of these idiots hiding? The contrast between US soft power export and actual average americans is colossal.
The podcasters you follow are not the mainstream in the US. Probably the majority of mainstream podcasters targeting men, were pro Trump in one way or the other. Either by inviting guests that were pro-Trump, or inviting quacks that are telling men that the left is taking away their masculinity.
You’re looking at and following your information bubble.
This is by design.
Yeah but almost every American I meet here traveling in SEA or Europe is a perfectly reasonable person.
Dunno I just am in such disbelief that my world experience doesn’t match reality at all. I even consider myself pretty well traveled with 20 years of experience traveling around the globe though admittedly I’ve never been to the USA yet and I fear I might not get to see Yellowstone or Big Sur ever at this point or do I even want to?
Kinda sucks to be a fan of US now ngl.
If you go to the States as a tourist the chances are that you will be just fine, it’s the living there that increasingly sucks.
The more conservative you are, the less likely you are to travel. The less likely you are to be open to experiencing “them”.
When I went back to my high school reunion, I tried reconnecting with an old buddy of mine. I found it a little odd that his life seemed exactly the same as in high school, but eventually he admitted that he had never been more than about 50 miles from the town we grew up in. Never left the state, much less the country. Never left the surrounding rural cluster of towns. Never flew. Not even a road trip to a coast, amusement park or city. No changes in food from what he grew up with. No people different from him. What the everliving fuck?
The people you meet while travelling are not the average people. The average American never travels to another state, let alone to other continents… Same is true for many people in many countries: Asians visiting Europe are top % of population in wealth and brains. It’s dissapointing and depressing but fox probably gives you a more true picture of average Americans than Americans you meet while travelling.
Yes I’m perfectly familiar with “survivors bias” but never seen it so extreme.
Joe Rogan has the biggest podcast in the English speaking world. He has been consistently pro-Trump.
He has not been consistently pro Trump, he has harshly criticized Trump in the past. But now he’s an ass-kisser like Elon. Let’s see how well that works out for them. If they can keep daddy Trump happy at the expense of everyone else.
He has endorsed Trump for three elections running.
They’re populists.
They see which way a crowd is running and jump in front, shouting “follow me!”
Why do people from Europe go and build monuments and luxury in Saudi Arabia?
Money. Same answer in the US.
The US is an oligarchy, as attested to by this Oxford study. To answer your question, mostly yes, hence places like “Silicon Valley” and institutions like the electoral college.
Interesting that was written in 2014… Before it was obvious it had all just gone to shit
It just wasn’t obvious to you.
An election was stolen in broad fucking daylight in 2000. That was the canary in the coal mine on election interference.
They’ve done it before and they’ll fucking do it again.
All these young new potential voters! A fresh wave of idiot!
