Well, not entirely true. They do it in the US based on your public voter registration data, giving rise to companies that only exist to suck up and sell that data to groups looking to game the system instead of giving people what they want/need/deserve.

United States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•New York Mayor Eric Adams Signs Executive Orders Prohibiting Mayoral Appointees and Agency Staff From Boycotting and Disinvesting From Israel.English
25·6 months ago[Disclaimer: I’m not Jewish] This seems more antisemite than boycotting Israel does, because this (IMHO taking into account the disclaimer) seems like someone that can’t separate a government from a people, or basically “everything Jewish is the same”. Similar to how many in government can’t separate being Muslim, or Arab, from [insert US declared “terrorist country”].

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•It is now 89 seconds to midnight. Closest it's ever been. How concerned are you about global war?English
1·7 months agoOh man, the conspiracy theories that would have come out of Trump deep frying his paws. The Right wing propaganda machine went crazy when Trump had issues at his UN visit over stuff the UN said was at least partly due to his own team. If he burned himself they’d have put that franchise owner on a plane to El Salvador that afternoon.

2·7 months agoTrump marveled repeatedly about how the fries are packaged, with the aid of a scooper-like device.
“Never touched by a human hand,” he said at one point. “Nice and clean.”

Is a small clip of him making fries between 24-50 secs of the video at the top of the page.

Remember, this is the same man that thinks the stealth bomber is literally invisible, or that you neutralize a magnet simply by getting it wet, or that you take fries out of the boiling oil with your hands (he learned you don’t while doing his pretend day at McDonald’s).

0·8 months agoDid he have a recent concussion like the Turtle when he was glitching often?
Edit - Like stated in the article the people saying that he accidentally said the quiet part out loud and someone in his ear told him to shut up is almost certainly what happened. It makes it hard to say Trump is following the law and the Dems are just Trump haters when he literally said he was an authoritarian live on TV. =)

4·9 months agoThat would be some crazy precedent reversal, especially after at least 2 military folks (1 Marine and I think 1 National Guard) both said they saw no real threat to any federal officers. This is the biggest kangaroo court we’ve ever had though, so I guess we wait for Trump to appeal it and see.

9·9 months agoWell, they also have them harassing houseless individuals. Trump has been using the poor as a way to desensitize people to armed troops in the streets, because I’m sure Miller is rock hard just thinking about rounding up everyone that:
-
didn’t vote Trump
-
non-white
Saw video of him and Vance getting boo’d and you could just see his lust for bloodshed. And Trump is completely checked out at this point, because he just doesn’t have enough neurons firing to do anything but cheat at golf.

11·10 months agoI think with the right going hard right since 2016, in order to get access to any of the high level right-wing talking heads you have to be “loyal”. The second you are not Trump/MAGA will turn on you.They also make money hand over fist selling FUD that is much harder when just presenting facts.

Most important, and why I hit the reply to begin with is, you are not alone! Not sure where you live, but I’m the US (at least for now) HR or whoever can’t legally put your medical/mental health info on full blast to everyone you work with.
Trump has had several GOP “rhinos” primaried because they wouldn’t bend the knee.
Rusty Bowers: The former Arizona House Speaker was censured by his state party and targeted by Trump after he refused to help overturn the 2020 election results in Arizona.
Liz Cheney: As the former chair of the House Republican Conference and a leading critic of Trump, she was a primary target. Trump endorsed Harriet Hageman, who defeated Cheney in the 2022 Wyoming primary election.
Doug Ducey: Trump called the former Arizona governor a “RINO” for not engaging with his efforts to challenge the 2020 election outcome in the state.
Larry Hogan: Trump has repeatedly labeled the former Maryland governor a “RINO,” though Hogan has remained popular in his state.
Brian Kemp: The Governor of Georgia earned Trump’s ire for certifying the 2020 election results in his state. Trump endorsed David Perdue in the Republican primary, but Kemp won re-election.
Mitch McConnell: Trump has repeatedly attacked the Senate Minority Leader, though he has not been able to directly replace him.
Lisa Murkowski: One of the few remaining senators who voted to convict Trump in his second impeachment trial, Murkowski has faced heat from Trump’s allies and activists, though she was not successfully primaried.
Ken Paxton: When the Texas Attorney General faced impeachment charges, Trump defended him and called his Republican opponents “RINOs”.
Ben Sasse: The former Nebraska senator was another Republican who voted to convict Trump. Sasse later left the Senate to become president of the University of Florida.
Pat Toomey: The former Pennsylvania Senator, who also voted to convict Trump, retired from the Senate at the end of his term.
