this isn’t why America is divided what lol. It’s divided because of misinformation and an education system that is totally failed so critical thinking is fucked.

It’s divided because people believe every whacked out conspiracy theory and even policy makers make policy on said conspiracies.

It’s divided because the super wealthy want to remain in power and it’s easy for them since money is allowed in politics.

Biden joining Truth Social is just plain comedy.

So they just become ocean trash instead? Seems like we should put a stop to that as well.

haha thank you!!!

Perl is still the best. 😁 😁

yeah I told my doc that I had really dropped my overall beer drinking down to about 8 beers a week like I was super proud of myself and saying “I don’t drink all that much anymore” and he looked at me and just said “well that’s still debateable”

I’m like BRUH… Down from like 20 beers a week I felt accomplished but he didn’t think it was an accomplishment.

down votes take you down the chain in reddit so you can basically be downvoted to where no one would see what you wrote. If they had a brigade they could take you out of a conversation

truly sad state of things. It’s disinformation like none other. These people are completely oblivious to the facts of his criminal activities because the media they consume is only focused on cultural issues. It’s literally all they see. They have no ability to look things up or fact check or think beyond whatever their pod casts are telling them.

It’s such a bigger issue about this country as a whole. Education has failed so many. Those same people will vote for people that want to further erode education. They also have lots of kids and groom them to believe nonsense and deny education’s importance. They attack teachers and doctors as being “woke” etc…

I hope we can come back from this, but the reality is it gets much worse from here.

yeah and all the “problems” with America are soooo fucking external to them… Like they are never confronted with drag shows or LGBTQ stuff in general. They’ll say things like “you see what’s going on in San Fransico” and I’m like… NO… I don’t live there lol…

Like they consume ONLY this nonese…

You see it on reddits /r/conservative and other the_donald wannabe subs. They just non stop talking about gay and trans stuff and I’m in a very liberal city and literally never see any of this supposed “wokeness” or w/e they are so scared of.

It’s like they are living in an alternative reality it’s very strange.

if you are found not guilty you can’t be tried for that crime again.

They’ll figure out how to get it appealed up to the bought and paid for supreme court and that’ll save him.

yeah like… WTF you gonna try to do this on a major social media site… how stupid is that shit… Go to IRC, fools.

The people who support him don’t know he said this… They literally don’t know shit about these people and only watch Fox news which wont air this

Politicians, especially republicans, have tried to make it a bad word for the sole purpose of keeping their sheep in line. They ONLY want them listening to pod casts for all their information and believing every single thing they hear.

That’s how that entire republican party likes their people so they can feed them misinformation and have it not be fact checked. It’s like the easiest way for propaganda to be used as a weapon.

Turn the idiots against fact checking lol.

lol at actual shop… Those were put out of business a LONGGGGGGGGGGGG time ago…

Shops these days are home depot, walmart, best buy, academy, etc…

yup Trump is literally the epitome of lying, greed, adulterering,etc… They just choose to not believe any of it… That’s the problem with people like this. They’ll believe any fucking nonsense and that’s the only proof they need… Their faith.

We as a species that needs to evolve and hopefully last 65 million years like dinosaurs did will need to get past this phase of humanity. Sadly in my lifetime it wont happen, but hopefully eventually it will.

Need some fucking aliens to show up or something

Yah and we were actually headed to a 100,000 year cooling cycle. So even their supposed science is wrong lol.

Math checks out

As a representative democracy we are doing it wrong when none of the candidates represent the majority. They represent business and special interests that’s it.

That being said republicans are in the pockets of the most backwards ass religious folks… So that’s is definitely worse when they continue to shit on our constitution for that group.

So sleepy Joe it is.

Meanwhile in TX we are hitting record heat indexes after last year hitting “record # of days above 100” and coming off another once a century drought lol

people are so dumb it’s painful to watch. This particular guy seems to be up north. His watchers better prepare because everyone’s moving that way. Entire contitnents are going to start migrating to them sooner than we realize.

There are still some niche subs that didn’t come to lemmy that I engage in, but I spend more time on Lemmy now than I do on reddit. I think there are probably dozens of us like that. So while I might still show “traffic” I’m not spending near as much time as I did on it and since reddit is trying to go public they wont publish that little fact.

Anyone can buy an article, so I expect to see more of these “everything is just hunky dory at reddit” articles because again they have profit motive.

Meanwhile lemmy grows and grows. Hopefully people continue to engage over here to keep it interesting.
