284·3 months agoI know a lot of wonderful individuals who deserve the dignity of not having that slur used in common parlance and also not having their disabilities being compared to .ml users. The .ml guys are almost universally bad people and they are not.

6·2 years agoI’m all for sanctioning them too. Economic sanctions are the bare minimum we should be doing to genocidal authoritarians.

22·2 years agoThe US wasn’t conducting a genocidal war in Afghanistan. The Russian government is explicitly attempting to erase Ukraine as an entity and anyone who calls themselves Ukrainian with it.

politics @lemmy.world•At the center of the right-wing revival? Hating immigrants
6·2 years agoneither party when elected do anything meaningful to secure the border or deport illegals.
It might shock you to learn the best way to prevent immigration is to make the countries experiencing outflows more stable and liveable, but I’m gonna take a wild guess you don’t like foreign aid.
maintain demographics
There sure was a lot of hand wringing before you wrote down what your actual problem with immigration was.
Pray tell what is the ideal demographic make up if the United States?

Imagine branding yourself with the image of a way to circumvent state authority only to lick the boot at the first opportunity.

187·2 years agoI’d vote for a literal corpse with a (D), but there’s voters who are somehow undecided or ambivalent about fascism. The fact remains that the polling shows this hurts Biden in required swing states which is extremely concerning.

politics @lemmy.world•The Perplexing Geography of Abortion Opinion: Abortion bans are unpopular everywhere. So why are some U.S. regions imposing them anyway? The answer goes back centuries.
41·2 years agoAmerican Nations is probably the worst pop-history books I’ve had the displeasure of reading. Its chock full of backwards rationalizations, just-so narratives, and glaring misconstructions and omissions.
Any assessment of modern society based on this author is immediately suspect and we should honestly stop letting him write for any serious publication.

31·3 years agoPlenty of people rooted for the Lions and they wore brown bags over their heads.
Trump lost and people are still buying flags and hats.
I think we’ll be stuck with this cult for awhile.

132·3 years agoI wouldn’t be so confident that his support will wane. People love a martyr and thats what hes protraying himself as.
All that isnt to say he shouldn’t be prosecuted, but I’d expect his support to jump in the short term.
My day is made immeasurably better by Jim Jordan’s failure. This entertainment is surely the best thing he’s ever done for the country.
At least one member said they were switching from McCarthy to Jordan on the second vote, so sadly we’re probably not going to get a revolt.





About 54% of people voted for the wrong Dan Sullivan in 2020, so I’d wager a lot of them probably will again.
