Criticizing the connection to Cheney is just fine, I’m talking about propaganda around how the “liberal media” is overreacting to Project 2025.

And look where we are now: Project 2025.

And it’s not even just about elections or results: there’s no excuse for a very influential white leftist to leverage their power to harass and put down BIPOC creators. There’s no excuse to defend this behavior.

You’re not listening: the people who aren’t voting are still not taking matters into their own hands either.

Yes the US has committed numerous atrocious, massacres, and genocides.

You know what I wouldn’t do? Make a YouTube video playing defense for the US government saying that any of those aren’t exactly what they are.

The same but not treated the same, America has some pretty brutal privilege hierarchies which makes life more difficult for minority groups, disabled people, and anyone who isn’t a cishet white Christian male.

Which makes it inexcusable for a white leftist with capitol and influence to run harassment campaign against BIPOC creators.

You know those white leftists own a lot more capitol than those BIPOC creators right?

Have you heard of the powerball lottery being referred to as a “stupid tax”? People play the Powerball for hopes and feelings and vibes, usually not understanding how infinitesimally small their odds are. They’re not going to win, they’re just throwing money away to feel better.

You still have better odds of winning the Powerball than Claudia had of winning the general election. It’s gonna come out sounding harsh but that’s the reality of it.

The people who aren’t voting are even more complacent, prove me wrong.

If the voted government was not legitimate than voting is not a process that legitimizes the rule then is it?

Voting is just one tool of many to try to improve life for as many people as possible.

I don’t know how viable that actually is, a decade of Trump flags and Trump shirts and Trump merchandise, and decades of Trump branding everywhere before that. The Trump cult is in too deep.

The GOP winners will probably be the ones that poach the Trump brand as “we are Trump’s chosen ones to carry out Trump’s vision for America”, until his cultural significance wanes.

Because he’s an accelerationist who believes that things getting much worse is a way to spark the revolution and overthrow of American Capital.

I know for sure some people who didn’t vote because of white “leftist” content creators who were working hard all 2024 to smear Kamala and BIPOC liberal content creators. There’s not enough data to measure the damage they did, I don’t see any reason they should be let off the hook either.

His proof that there wasn’t a massacre is that the death toll reported by the mayor is only on the same order of magnitude as the Tulsa Race Massacre?

For someone so adamant on criticizing propaganda the call is really coming from inside the house.

You’re the random dude on lemmy who claims to “know people” vs the random dude on lemmy who cites his sources.

Israel and Netanyahu preferred Trump by a wide margin over Kalama, so unless you’re a Zionist I wouldn’t recommend celebrating yet.

The fascists have done an incredible job lulling people into a false sense of security with “Trump just says outrageous things to trigger the libs he’ll never actually do anything”.

Dictators love the poorly educated.

Fuzzy memories after 4 years of anti-Democrat propoganda, remember overwhelmingly Americans use social media that backs Trump (X, Meta, TikTok), to the point that even US “leftists” were all in anti-“blue MAGA”.

It’s classic manufactured consent. That’s why FAFO was trending after election. Americans don’t know what they voted for. They are about to find out - the hard way.

I would argue that the supermajority weren’t fine with this result, these real life consequences, but were under a collective cope/delusion that “Killer Kamala” was a “weak woman” but also a warhawk who just wanted to genocide lots of people in Gaza and prolong the war in Ukraine, and Trump was going to bring peace and prosperity and lower the cost of living.

Americans are mostly stupid, poorly educated, gullible, and easily deceived by low effort promises.

It will crumble, the question is will it crumble fast enough before its oil and gas fetish accelerates climate change too far.

Diaspora is the fediverse version of Facebook. It hasn’t taken off quite like lemmy or mastodon and it’s much older, but still seems to be in active development.

Convincing family is hard, I have a lot of them moved over to Linux already, but they don’t want to quit Facebook :(
