2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion.

But what’s the ratio of people finding out more because they liked what they heard vs the ones horrified about it?

[–] TehWorld@lemmy.world 44 points 5 months ago

This is certainly a concern, but all in all, shining a light on it is a VERY good thing.

We’ll find out in November. I’m going to be watching that female/male divide, that’s for sure.

I want to think that no woman could possibly look at that and approve, but then again, Phyllis Schlafly existed

If you look at D policy positions, they are overwhelmingly popular (when detached from a certain sleepy lil guy).

I think the majority of people searching are bound to find plenty they don't like

(when detached from a certain sleepy lil guy).

Why would my dog negatively affect the popularity of those policies??

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

No the sleepy guy that’s addicted to ice cream. Wait, that might also still be your dog.

[–] Kedly@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago

Known for sniffing women creepily might also apply to the dog...

Those were unreachable Trump supporters to start with. Hopefully it doesn't motivate them to do anything.

[–] newthrowaway20@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

If they look hard enough, even the most staunch of Republicans can find something they won't like. But they probably also believe Trump when he says he doesn't know what project 2025 is.

I mean, if most people find out about this and want this… then America is already lost.
