What's lemmy.world's policy going to be on this one

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

What should happen in lemmy is that other places grow and accommodate practical and realistic responses to American politics.

Considering past policies, probably something about not leaving a negative comment until you've truly listened to the "victim" and empathize with them

[–] [email protected] 288 points 2 weeks ago (23 children)

Let us not forget: it was the Democrat Party that once supported the formation of the KKK, pushed Jim Crow laws, and defended slavery

They like to conveniently forget that the parties had a flip. So yes, while the democrats IN NAME pushed all that abhorrent ideals, those democrats are the Republicans today.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Well, Newsweek is out as news. They should have followed up with factual history about how these parties switched. (Where are the whigs in all this?????)

America always being 2 party, in my own hindsight, should have been suspect. The world is not binary.

Not that I had control of when or where I was born.

The alr right shows have claimed to debunk that myth and that the Dems are the true racists. It's like gas lighting for the centrists/right-wing.

And as I like to say, we used to prescribe cigarettes for asthma. The times will change.

[–] [email protected] 71 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Amy is correct. Therefore, we should take down all the monuments to the Confederates that those Democrats put up.

Who cares about any of that.

Obama? Harris? Clinton? Biden?

Whoever did it, no they didn't, we were playing CIV 5 together at that time

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Whoever did it should also immediately dispose of their ICE=KKK stencil and realize that a using a stencil is a really stupid way to get caught.

Can confirm. I was in the same game

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago (7 children)

That's a crime in and of itself. Who even plays Civ 5??

[–] [email protected] 46 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Innocent people. Completely innocent people play Civ 5.

lol. lmao even.

[–] [email protected] 78 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

That's ridiculous!!

ICE is clearly the American Gestapo.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You know what they say, one man's ICE is another man's KKK is another man's Gestapo is another man's Republican. Hard to tell them apart, really.

I was in a Portal, Arizona recently, which is a pretty rural area. On the radio a public service type advertisement came on explaining your rights if you get arrested by or encounter ICE. It felt like something from a movie.

That (R) statement is about what I'd expect from them. Hyperbole and fearmongering.

Colorado sees you, New Mexico.

In definently not upset

[–] [email protected] 72 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm pleasantly surprised at the levelheaded reporting. It's strikingly neutral, to the point where the Republican quote sounds like a shrill shreak in a sea of reasonableness.

There's no call for perpetrators being hunted down, no death threats, it's all very civil.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 weeks ago

Newsweek is pretty good in general

[–] [email protected] 72 points 2 weeks ago

I love republican party HQ's they so flammable and quirky <3

[–] [email protected] 111 points 2 weeks ago (7 children)

Based on Jan6; sounds like the perps just earned pardons!

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 weeks ago

For what? I saw them grabbing ice cream from a stand just outside the view of any cameras, at the time.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago

Wrong side. More likely they earned a terrorism upgrade.
