When you’re young you want to rebel against the establishment. They are being told the establishment wants rights for women and gays and men’s rights are being taken away. So they are going the opposite direction to be contrarian. Unfortunately young men at that age have very little empathy for anyone else. They have to know what’s in it for them.

I didn’t know my faith in the American population could drop any lower. thanks for that

Maybe next time and everytime go out and vote blue so they have even a chance of doing something to stop it.

Elections have consequences.

What if Scalia was the one holding Thomas back and Clarence was the one who shot Scalia with the ice bullet containing the heart attack serum that killed him?

Ideally you’d catch warning signs before you ever got married to him. My guess is a lot of those who are detained who are married to Trump supporters also support the detention of immigrants and just never thought it would happen to them.

Like it or not they have a monopoly on the most active forum service. To the point where no other service is really useful when it comes to asking live questions and getting live answers for many different topics.

Yeah I’ve been trying to. I haven’t been on it for nearly half a year at this point. I’m fine with using Lemmy but there are some things Lemmy isn’t great at like having thriving communities I can direct questions about personal finance to and getting a wide variety of opinions. Or even pottery discussion. Lemmy is almost only about politics, Linux, and Star Trek memes. Not much more than that.

I actually think Lemmy has started to die off more since I’ve been here. I’m guessing I was part of some large migration when I started but now most of those people have stopped coming on several months later.

Sentenced but not yet executed.

it’s a wonder shit like this happens and they still get elected as senators. i have zero faith in the American populace at this point and can only hope my state secedes.

This is what Americans voted for (or failed to vote against).

I’m happy they’re scared.

Ah I see.

Ironically this will make the indigenous activists happy. I’m pretty sure he didn’t intend that though.

Right? I can’t believe this person seriously responded to my comment with that bullshit. And people are upvoting him.

You lost me at “not socially punishing racism”.

Sorry but GTFOH with your racism apologism.

Republicans are also cutting education so fat chance getting these people educated also.

You’re a fool if you think that’s the reason why.

The average American voter doesn’t give a shit about brown people dying in the Middle East.

It’s only about your football team winning, oh and women are too “emotional”.

For Republicans it actually boosts their poll numbers.

People want to be openly racist again. That’s what MAGA really means.
