Looks like I'll be cancelling my already stupidly expensive Internet service... I hate these fucking people...

Back to the stone age with all of their fucked up "policies."

I'm more of a bone apple tea myself, but I hear liber tea keeps the bugs away!

Once they kill the provision that protects people with pre-existing conditions I'm dropping my health insurance completely. I refuse to pay them through my lost potential income for a "service" that they will just deny as soon as possible. Medical insurance companies can go fuck themselves.

There’s a cost associated with media more concerned with profits than the public interest.

Media: good thing we're not the ones paying the price! Continue current heading, profits ho!

"Remember Giuliani just keep mentioning political persecution like the rest of us so when we actually do it people will feel it is justified. Liberals will complain and we can call them hypocrites."

Trump on election night: "MASSIVE FRAUD IN PENNSYLVANIA, POLICE INCOMING!"

He wins big: "teehee, what fraud? I never said that."

Do they think Americans are going to the fields to pick watermelons?

Yes, yes they do. They'll cheer the new federal child labor laws that allow for it and the increased prison population that will be forced to work the fields

Never forget that these people all genuinely believe that what they are doing is right.

I do have to admit some hypocrisy in my statement. I'm just too angry to be completely fair lately I guess, but I too have said in the past that I strongly agree with the sentiment that "no one is the villain of their own story." I do believe that to be true.

Except some people like Musk, I'm pretty sure he knows he's the villain.

This has had me deeply concerned. Nazi Germany was stopped. Who says what would have happened if there was no one to stop them?

At the moment I don't believe there is anyone capable of stopping us.... :(

I appreciate the correction!

despite all warning, caught in a fascist riptide,

What warning? Most average people don't understand your concept of fascism.

A major problem I noticed here on Lemmy is some people use the "jargon" of their in-group without consideration of the audience they are speaking to. If you want to convince people you need to speak their language. A typical person here will hear fascist and immediately think Hitler, not government subservience to and protection of corporate interests at all costs utilizing the full power of violence of the police force.

Or just incredibly ignorant. I think we vastly overestimate the political intelligence of the people in this country.

There are a metric fuckton of apathetic people that are "too busy" to give a shit about politics unfortunately. Hell just look at the articles after the election that called out Google searches for "did Biden drop out?" spiking on election day.

These people are too busy watching whatever braindead Netflix bullshit, or just not watching anything at all to know what's even going on.
