I feel this
Social media was probably the best thing to ever happen for fascists. Because everyone's online and not out there actually doing something about it.
And right now we mostly have clowns (Zuck, Musk) at the helms of, let's call them what they are, megapropagandamachines. Imagine what equally evil but much smarter players could do.
Like, say, Putin? I honestly have to wonder how much the rise of fascism over the last couple decades owes to him.
The perma stun proceeds
Why can't the president be boring? So he/she creates no big news. Trump just change his mind every day and lie...
It's almost like we're watching a historical event where a large democratic nation is quickly turning into an oligarchal dictatorship. Almost like we're dealing with the consequences of anti intellectualism.
Also just because you don't live in America during all this doesn't mean your country is immune to right wing influence.
Dude, here in Europe half the nations are already beholden to some extreme right faction, and the other half are flirting with it.
Our situation is honestly just a hair better and could deteriorate very rapidly.
Like, for example, if Putin makes his move against the Baltics. If that happens we're equally megafucked.
It was oligarch for a while now.
I mean yeah but not to the point of openly ripping the govt apart.
I bet if Trump could take over earth by imprinting himself over people like Agent Smith, he would.
We shall stop being anxious, and start to be outraged. Organize, fight back, even at small scale
seriously. if your answer is to jump off a building, then fuck you. you were never an ally. you shirked your duty as a human and would have been a liability anyway. cowards are just as bad as the sociopaths they enable.
Sure...well the rest of the world is cheering you on. Go you guys.
The US is so intertwined with global politics and economy (e.g. financial markets, digital services, ...) that it's not just THEIR problem. If they drift further into fashism, oligarchy and right authoritarianism, sooner than later there will be a point where most of the world will be fucked in the short and possibly in the long term.
We need to fight this fight from our side as well, otherwise we all will go down. Our countries need to start pushing back against it and WE need to push our countries to do so. Write letters, go on protests, vote! Otherwise we might miss our window of opportunity to bring this spiral of destruction to a halt.
Of course it's not just their problem, I just find it a little weak sauce for American's to start motioning slowly towards a thoughts and prays approach.
They were told what they were going to get plain and simple, voted for it and now sit and watch as their own governmental system falls into decay. It isn't a question of the rest of the world in years to come but the reaction of a current petridish that could spill into other countries. I hope all the best to all who type on forums, write letters and make signs. Good luck but maybe the pens should be discarded.
Everything... EVERYTHING... related to the orange parasite or any of its' bootlicking minions, I downvote without looking and move on.
The afterlife thankfully doesn't mention him, it doesn't mention anything.
The funny thing is, I have Lemmy filtering out all posts with the word Trump in it, but it failed to get this one, the one complaining about too many people talking about Trump!
I bet people said the same thing about Hitler both before and after he died. Awful people are typically quite often talked about.
@title: A smart person would limit exposure and stick around to not have to find out.
I’m starting to dislike and avoid the Daily Show and even the Jon episodes, I just can’t keep hearing and seeing the stupid bullshit every damn day.
Trump is the best thing to ever happen to news networks. No more hard questions. No people planning positive rights legislation. Nothing but trump. The status quo is safe while he sucks all the air out of every public forum and media.

Or to single-letter social network sites.
