The numbers don't lie. All that bleating while America tanks, rofl. Fear mongering about and embracing Russia at the same time. Man, the right wingers really are confused. Politically, sexually. It makes sense why they're so mad. Anyway, you're the first person I've blocked on Lemmy lol. Glad I'll never have to see another nutbag post from the likes of you.

Except in life expectancy, infant mortality, gdp, literacy, crime, and basically every other metric on the books. Nice try though. America is a shit hole thanks to jingoistic fucks like you!
They 100% are easily manipulated by propaganda.
Trump said Biden left the border open? They repeat it.
Trump said trans inmates are using all the taxpayer dollars? They repeat it.
Trump says immigrants are eating cats and dogs and taking over apartment complexes? They repeat it.
Every single talking point, they repeat it.
And the right wing misinformation machine is operating at its peak. They are getting news agencies to change the way they cover stories to be more in line with what the Trumpists are pushing. They are punishing dissent inside the government and in any group that deals with the government. They are pressuring social media sites to increasingly moderate progressive comments. There is an overall atmosphere that is increasing in the country l where it's acceptable to censor free speech. Either you get in line with the Trump administration, or you become a target.
Fuck America and fuck Americans that say shit like this. Signed, an American.
Rofl, America is far from the best.
Wait, being convicted ends political careers? Hitler and Trump wore their convictions with honor and used them to gin up support to great effect. Who's to say Le Pen doesn't somehow do the same?
If you like rap, or well, even if you don't, listen to Death of a Constable by Brian Ennals and Infinity Knives.
Israel has killed more women and children than any other demographic. They have committed a genocide and the US president has called for an intensification and expansion of the genocide. Even going so far as to say he wants to ethnically cleanse Gaza.
Same thing happened to me. I told a guy to fuck off and got banned for not being nice. I appealed, but before that process completed, they permanbanned my 14 year account. I like that on Lemmy I can say normally uncontroversial things like "Nazi scum fuck off".
I think the piece that has yet to be tested is elections. As of now, we still live under the pretense that we will have a fair election.
The case can be made that the voter suppression tactics from the far right are eliminating the possibility of a fair election. Or that Elon Musks involvement has led to fraud, or at least, massive corruption to our electoral system. But at the end of the day, we still have a collective idea that the fix for this is an election that will remove them from power.
When the midterms come, that will be the real test.
Canada can keep me if they want to. I have a buddy in Toronto I could meet!
