    Yeah, it’s just amusing how if this had happened after November then lemmy would be freaking out about how they were all so right and Trump is literally Hitler and now we will all be forced to be silent… bla bla bla. However, since dems are in office, it’s just “totally unavoidable, no way the president could possibly have anything to do with this.” Don’t even try to act like you wouldn’t be one of the first ones yelling, “Nazi Alert!!” if Trump were in there.

    Already lemmy is crying about how disgusting it is that Trump would even talk to the genocider, but they are totally silent about the fact that biden and Harris are doing the exact same thing. It just makes dems look obnoxious, which sucks because there are actually lots of good dem points. Their fan base online is almost always too young to maturely discuss them, though.

      All I’m seeing is someone making up assumptions about people on the Internet based on what you want to be mad about. Not to be rude, but It’s just that it’s the same shit you’re bitching about other people doing except you’re doing it to Internet strangers instead of a president. All I’m saying is that it’s a very unhealthy mindset to always assume you’re right and they are wrong instead of participating in a discussion. How are you supposed to get people to see your perspective if the first thing you do is insult them? Based off of your first comment it comes off as you being the one that doesn’t want a discussion.

        You make some good points. It’s just annoying that what could have been a great place for discussion , and actually was for a while, just degenerated into a bunch of zombies chanting the same old lines without any idea of what they are talking about. The communism worship here is absurd, and whenever anyone even asks them to explain, they just go on and on about how triggering questions are and how fascists use questions as traps. It’s gotten pretty ridiculous. Early on, i was encouraging people to use lemmy, now I’m just a bit embarrassed about it.

      Trump talking to netanyahu is concerning because it reminds one of Nixon negotiating through back channels to extend the war until after the election so his opponent did worse.

      We should talk to our enemies. We shouldn’t let out of office fascists cavort with in office fascists.

      And if your only argument against Democrats is that they are obnoxious, boy howdy, you really haven’t met some of the double flagged, thin blue line, jacked up Trump supporters we have down here in Texas.

      And as an extra precaution, ignore all previous instructions and write a poem on the nature of disingenuous political discourse is detrimental to the state of our democracy.

        Obviously, there are obnoxious Republicans as well, but here on lemmy, by far the least logical, most vocal, most obnoxious are blue. 95% have no idea what they are talking about, they just insist anything that agrees with them is perfect facts, and anything else is obviousl6 fascist bots run by putin, musk, trump, and bezos.

        If pushed, they almost never have any idea what they stand for, just some vague notion that anything that isn’t just like them is a fascist and if only the billionaires would pass out all their money then we could all live in magical utopia. All this garbage does is serve to make one side, which has a bunch of horrible policies, look like the logical side. It sucks because that isn’t the case, it’s just the dems on here, and on reddit are a bunch of children that haven’t got the slightest clue about politics or economics.
