  • It’s because making the world better requires change and conservatives are terrified of everything, especially change.

    Go up to a conservative. Any conservative. And ask them to talk about politics. No other prompt. Just talk about politics. Don’t interrupt them for maybe 5 minutes. They’ll spend at least 95% of their time talking about fear, in some form or another. Conservatism is built upon, and maintained, by fear.



  • American here.

    Because Americans are stupid.

    Well, enough are anyway.

    This is the country that made a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist with one failed presidency under his belt our leader…again.

    We did already impeach him…twice. But now Republicans are in total control (see stupid Americans comment above), so Republicans would have to impeach him this time, but they’re all spineless fascists, so that isn’t happening. In America impeachment is just the first step, then the Senate has to actually remove them. After the first two impeachments the spineless fascist Republicans in the Senate refused to remove him, even though it was at the very end of his first term and gave them the perfect opportunity to permanently rid themselves of him. But again, they are spineless fascists.

    Why do many Americans support him? It’s a combination of stupidity, ignorance, hate, and fear. Humans who don’t receive a proper education or upbringing end up being easily manipulated by those things. That’s the case here in America. Expect it to get a whole lot worse.


  • Just like Reddit, you have to add your personalized subs before you can really start enjoying it. Start looking for subs you like.

    The bottom line is that there isn’t enough content to last all day like Reddit, but I see that as a good thing. I wrap up on Lemmy and then I can dig myself into a Wikipedia hole and learn something.

    Best part about Lemmy is my comments actually get seen and responded to and it can take a couple days before a post is dead, unlike Reddit where if I comment 4 hours after it’s posted, it’s dead and there’s no activity on my comments.

    Reddit feels like I’m a dog hanging out a car window trying to bite at the air as it whips past me but never getting anything of substance. Lemmy feels like I’m in an AA support group and we’re all sitting in a circle communicating and sharing our addiction together.



  • Lol.

    The Divided States of Trashcanistan hasn’t hosted since 1994 and it’s going to be an absolute garbage shitshow for the wealthy only. Probably plagued with ICE terrorists. Not to mention another year under this admin and the dollar will probably have tanked another 10% and our cost of living will probably be even more absurd.

    There’s going to be 6 games within a 2 hour drive from me and I have no intention of going to any of them, despite spending the last few decades fantasizing about going to a World Cup game with some friends.

    Pathetic shithole.

    Yeah, but we did tax the everloving fuck out of the grotesquely wealthy, which made for a stronger middle class.

    That was before they realized they could just pay our traitorous politicians pocket change to lower their tax rate.
