  • Implying all Western sources are illegitimate is called a Fallacy of Origin.

    I'm simply calling a spade a spade. (this may not translate well for your translator).

    Anyways, tagged :)

  • The White House says it’s ‘appropriate’

    Lmfao. Imagine if Obama did this or Biden. Fox News would be droning on and on about, "look how he treats these hard working blue collar workers!?"

  • Oof. Looks like polling showed this is making inroads with the apathetic and he was told he had to schedule an interview to calm the public and look sympathetic. He can never maintain this concern-troll shit up for long.

  • Your English is poor. You aren't winning social points for this unconvincing apologist rhetoric. Or is this punishment already for an infraction? Perhaps mentioning Uyghurs, Tibetans, Hong Kong, or Taiwan sovereignty?

    I wonder if one expects unbiased sources from within a totalitarian regime like North Korea or China going, "Yep! We totally oppress!" haha. So what sources DO you trust? I'm curious!

  • Would've happened regardless; the problem was a majority of Americans were convinced immigration was a problem. This was an attempt of appeasement of the masses ahead of the election.

    I stand by what I said.

  • That's incorrect. They are absolutely banned in their respective countries. Do you need sources on this?

  • You don't understand how Congress works, do you?

  • Ah but I mean one thing would fundamentally change.

    Renee Good would still be alive and three children would still have their mother.

  • Except it's really not.

    Anyone who thinks Renee Good would've been shot and killed under Biden or Harris administration are patently delusional and enabling Trumpian dogma.

    Anyone want to play a game of identifying how many ICE murders there were between all of Obama and Biden administrations versus Trump?

    Edit: Back, tankies! Back I say!

    Your friendly reminder that these two images are banned in their respective leaders' nations, and that by viewing them from your location puts you at risk for prison time in your country, should you reside there!

  • I mean data is good, right? "Knowledge is power"? Maybe it's the engineer in me but getting many snapshots in time and seeing the trends is kind of important. I'll take this over anecdotal speculation any day.

  • Ehhh this is total bullshit speculation not even grounded in historical reality.

    Give me the Biden days over these Trump days any day and spare me the false equivalence trope that is convenient for Republicans.

  • Democrats are the only way to improve the situation we are in.

    (Audience beware the lemmy.ml / hexbear poster who submits garbage like, "Republicans are honest fascists. Democrats are fascists in disguise." lol.)

  • I understand your concern, though one should register as a Democrat at least temporarily unless you know your state has Open Primaries if you want to reform the Democratic party.

    If you want to vote to get AIPAC and corporate Dems out in primaries and put better ones in, then you must register Dem for closed primaries.

    Worth noting that all the information on your demographics and behaviors is already easily curated from what the state and corporations already have on us, unfortunately.

  • Good sign overall ahead of midterms this year. I'd much rather this than see more of the country cheering this on.

    Register and vote Democrat.

    Edit: Democratic Primaries are coming first, and IF you don't know for a fact that your state has Open Primaries, then you must register Democrat in order to try to vote in more progressive Democratic candidates and vote out aipac trash from the party.

    Edit 2: Whew, lots of wedge-driving bots from .ml and hexbear asserting classic false-equivalence whataboutism fallacies in order to sow defeatism and apathy.

  • Such is the point. There's a reason Donnie started his first term so aggressively picking fights with Canada and Norway. Fulfilling Putin's wish.

    Also diverts attention from Ukraine.

  • Oh I do agree. I just try my best to study the optimal ways of reaching these people. The disconnect is that the pressures they feel are often legitimate; it's just that church, their social circles, their lack of education and travel, social media, fox news and affiliates redirect their attention to the wrong root problems over and over again every day.

    If I tell these victims to fuck off or ghost them, history shows that tends to send them further down the rabbit-hole of ignorance.

    Not saying I have all the answers, just saying what I struggle with.

  • Coming from a family raised conservative, Christian, Republican and most changed to the left... It's both

    Distills down to, "Nice guy; little on the dumb side." and "That guy is smart; but he's kind of a psychopath."

    So has been said, "I've met smart Trump supporters, and I've met kind Trump supporters. I've never met a smart, kind Trump supporter." The semi-smart psychopaths tend to be the ones grifting the rest, like Bannon or Musk.

    Billionaires can distort reality; alter reality for the masses.

    For the "poorly educated" working-class Trump supporter, as many Americans know in their extended families? I tend to view them as victims used as pawns.

  • Not the first time fuckwit has done this, as article notes. Just saber-rattling bullshit. Usually means Russia is desperate.
