edit: seems like some people interpret “full of” as a mathematical majority which, while it may or might not be true instance to instance, isn’t my intent in posting

feel free to swap in “has a lot of” if that’s more familiar language to you :)

Since I can't tell if OP is a fed or not, given by the moderation here, I'll just repeat a famous quote by Reverend Charles Frederic Aked:

It has been said that for evil men to accomplish their purpose it is only necessary that good men should do nothing

Time to do something OP, evil neighbors need not to persist.

Busted 😆 I’m actually a fed, raking in thirty bucks a comment just to…

(checks notes) express solidarity with folks in deep red areas so they know they’re not alone out there.

U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem said Saturday it was difficult for forecasters to predict just how much rain would fall. She said the Trump administration would make it a priority to upgrade National Weather Service technology used to deliver warnings.

Sure, Kristi. I'm sure you'll say anything for headlines

During a news conference early Friday morning, Kerr County Judge Rob Kelly said he didn't know why the camps hadn't been evacuated, but that the county did not have an early warning system or outdoor sirens to alert people to flooding conditions.

“We’ve looked into it before … The public reeled at the cost,” Kelly said.

Democracy, but stupid people are making your voting decisions

i have no narrative or conclusion here, just sharing a thing i found, Kelly seems maybe to be lying?

there’s record of a system being installed here. very bare in details, but only a decade ago. seems like a system could last that long right? idk it’s past my bedtime

Food for thought. If youre a working adult youve invested in this country. You have every right to expect something in return. Like the expectation that your investment hasn't been squandered for the purpose of evil.

I’m with you. I live in a red state in the north, in a small island of blue, but if I drive for a few minutes in any direction it’s trump signs & bigotry.

I feel like I’m surrounded by idiots. They’re bringing my state down with them. It’s horrifying.

Hm. My guess is Indiana.

Sending love ❤️ I truly hate to see would be-“progressives” laughing at the senseless deaths and violence just because some 30% of them voted a certain way.

It’s one of the ways that capital keeps the culture war lit, I find. Breed hatred and dehumanization for a people group while gleefully stripping that people group from self-determination at every opportunity.

I'm seeing a very ugly side around Lemmy the last couple of days. It's nice to see posts like this!

If something is despicable when your adversary does it, then it is despicable when you do it.

We are not immune to propaganda! ❤️ It’s on all of us to help each other out, finding our blind spots.

Yeah, I doubt it.

I meant the image for clarification

There’s like a ton of comments in this thread already from people who say “I am a good person on your side being oppressed in this area” but go on tell them they’re wrong about existing lol

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Trump got elected by your "good people" and also the Lemmy community is a niche, also anecdotes are not evidence.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 23 hours ago

Hey dude I just came here to spread a message of kindness to a minority of good people in tough geopolitical situations that we see them and are there for them, and that even though they might be surounded by evil actors and a history of violence and abuse, that we will fight for them.

Your words and choices here are making that shitty. Check yourself. You’re being mean. Cheers.
