Perhaps the republicans were on the campaign trail with the democrats and they just followed them here?

Do conservatives and tankies added together cancel each other?

It’s not that these groups are full of true liberals, it’s that much of the population isn’t tolerant of lies and misinformation. So it seems that “conservatives” are being targeted.

I've seen people be objectively correct but assholes with their delivery and get fucking blasted on here. Regardless of politics I'd youre a prick you get vibe checked.

As it should be. I'm tired of lying and "alternative facts" being the new normal.

I'm still unreasonably salty about getting bodied into negatives after pointing out that the fusion research coming out of the National Ignition Facility is just nuclear weapons research. ~~That's what Laser Inertial Confinement is, it's a very contained implosion bomb. Their role in the nuclear stewardship program is the first thing in their damn "about me" page. Gah.~~ I wasn't even (all that) rude about it, its just really hard for some people on here to accept that their understanding is flawed (myself very much included)

People bandwagon, they think it's funny to make the number go down even if it doesn't deserve to. Although I have come back from negative to positive.

The only issue I have with this is that this fules the generalisation of politics even more. There is a lot more of a nuance in politics than just left/right or conservatives/liberals etc. You see this more in countries with more politics parties. It’s not an either or but a spectrum.

But this meme really suits the current climate of Shitter and the US politic system

[–] MITM0@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (5 children)

Exactly, I only see this kind of vapid dogma in the good-ol USA

Politics is all about nuance & constant concessions
