Nah, you're supposed to take them seriously and give them various platforms to speak on and beat them with FACTS and LOGIC because that's what's needed for a marketplace of ideas and functioning democracy.
In other unrelated news, fascism is now rising tremendously in the world.

There goes the trust in US institutions for even more people.
The problem with fosselize is that it's currently bugged, and happens to precompile way more things than are needed, such as all workshop content that you might not have installed which takes a really long time + bloats up the shader cache in size. On anything that's not low-end, it's pretty much a waste of time since shader compilation is easily done on runtime.
Some issues on the things I've mentioned that Valve hasn't seem to have responded yet: bloat, time
Just as a PSA, the feature is currently somewhat bugged and really should be avoided. For anything that's not a low-end PC, your machine can handle the compilation during runtime easily and do it much faster.
For low-ends, it compiles so many unnecessary shaders (such as all workshop content that you might not even have), it often takes 10x longer to compile everything (which you have to recompile on every driver or game cache update) than just playing the game and watching a replay first or something.
They're actually given full legal immunity to anything, meaning they're allowed to commit crimes if they so choose (which we wouldn't know anything about as there is no transparency concerning these types of things). There have also been cases of violent repression against unarmed dissidents who were protesting against the monarchy (mostly when the queen had died), with disproportionate punishments handed out.
Is this really necessary, having one family be pretty much above the law and having their lifestyle be funded via public funds? Sure, there's an argument to be made that it drives the tourism, but it's unknown how much does the royal family contribute to it, as there's definitely tourists who would still visit the monuments and buy merch without the family.
So a lot more people would vote Trump if the only thing that changed in their policy was the stance on abortion? That's disappointing, considering the policies and the plan of Project 2025.
Abandoning public services and privatizing them :(
The GDP of that household must be insane
Priorities.
Also, what's a bit funny to me is they used the excuse of "homosexuality is a form of western colonialism", but they're taking notes directly from western far-right playbook here.
I wonder what would happen is this plan is successful and Trump actually gets the "technical win" - will the Democrats just give up the White House like that, will they refuse because Reps are playing dirty or will Democrats riot in the street? I'm actually curious if there's any good option to fight back that isn't "stop it before it happens".
The turnout was really high, the democrats main plan for this election was catering to the "moderate republicans" which backfired spectacularly (a smaller % of registered republicans voted for democrats than in 2020), left-wing was pretty much abandoned in the campaign... It's a horror all around, and the democratic party only have themselves to blame for this blunder instead of trying to point fingers at literally everything (so far I've seen blame thrown on LGBTQ+, Biden, Kamala's aides, left wing voters, etc).
