  • Thank you for saying this. I noticed in 2008 when Prop 8 was voted on in California that Black people (men in particular) are really the preferred scapegoat when things go wrong. All this despite their negligible numbers. 12 million white women (from 20 million) could vote for something detrimental to society and it'll be crickets but let 10,000 (from 100,00) Black men vote for the same bad policy and somehow the story will be about the Black men.

    This is an example of the so-called subtle bigotry that really isn’t so subtle.

  • Sounds good until you factor in the need for votes to get such policies in place and the fact that it won’t happen because the racists are responding to media stimulus.

  • Why is the focus on Black men when fewer than 25% voted for Trump. Meanwhile more than double that percentage of white women voted for Trump. Where is the analysis of their bizarre voting behavior?

  • So long as she can keep trading on insider information I seriously doubt that she cares.

  • I've used Aramex, they're okay.

  • I'd choose my dogs' scent over the scent of most humans that I've met.

  • Which service did you find to be the most reliable?

  • Just you…

    …and millions others.

    A bad campaign is a bad campaign.

  • Native and African Americans have been telling you this for centuries. Welcome to the truth.

  • Somebody is paying attention.

  • If you are looking for self-centred, gullible people who think that the status quo is to their benefit go to your local church.

  • He has endorsed Trump for three elections running.

  • People did it with Obama too, he was "Barack" to some.

    The US is a much more chauvinistic nation than many but it's also by far and away the most violent nation in the industrialized world. The two are definitely linked.

  • Joe Rogan has the biggest podcast in the English speaking world. He has been consistently pro-Trump.

  • If you go to the States as a tourist the chances are that you will be just fine, it's the living there that increasingly sucks.

  • Lemmy users have been repeating the same bullshit.

  • The pandemic wasn't that long ago, that experience settled any debate as to how ill informed the average citizen is. Most of the people voting are actively working against their own interests. There is a minority who benefit from the bad policy, the majority inevitably suffer. That has been the state of affairs since (at least) the Reagan era.

  • We increasingly live in social silos, if you are not a Trumper you will not know about the frequency of the messaging or even its nature most of the time. Like it or not Trump's words speak to the average American, his speeches align with the explicitly nationalistic, racist and generally hateful nonsense that most of them have been drip fed over the course of their lives via media, religion and education. It brings them a sense of comfort.

  • You grossly overestimate how intelligent/informed the average American voter is. I really don't think they know what they've done, are doing or what is being done to them.
