I’ve family that voted for Trump. Had plans on spending Thanksgiving there. Told them I’m not coming, and told them why. Explained that I’ll be happy to apologize if the next four years goes well. Otherwise, I’m holding them accountable. I love them, but I will not associate with them.

I’m done with the “they’re family, you have to accept them.” Bullshit.

I’m expecting that to happen, from his own camp. It’d be a perfect excuse to pull another Patriot Act and turn the screws just a bit more, pushing the nation further into an authoritarian police state.

Hurricane Irene and Schoharie County, NY. It’s happened before, and it’s gonna happen again.

Gotta know your audience.

When the farmer says: “I’m here, ain’t I?”…

That’s what she said.

But the people putting the wheel, lever, and fire together are really going places.

Well, what’s out there?

Have you seen the quality of content on Tiktok?

More for the rest of us!

Blah blah blah.

Says you. You’re also inflating my example and simplifying it, making a strawman out of it. I say differently, and so do all those folk downvoting you.

I’m done with this discourse. You’re determined to stick to your position in the mud, and not worth the effort. Good luck with that.

You’re minimizing, plain and simple, by accentuating the positive aspects and softening the negative. Generally folk minimizing are in support of the thing they claim to be in opposition of.

If that’s not your intent, then you really need to work on your communication skills.

As for being triggered, you’re wrong. I believe you’re projecting. Might the cause be all those down votes your posts are receiving? Sure, they don’t mean much… Other than each vote meaning one person disagrees with you. Some folk can’t handle that well.

“I think that instead of it being the end we will simply learn that fully fascist world is actually quite good for business and nothing will change for vast majority of people. I’m not saying it will be good. It will be worse, just not as bad as you think.”

My understanding of your statement: Fascism is good for business! Sure, it’s bad for some people, but most people won’t even notice it. There’s good things about fascism that you’re not aware of. It’s not all bad!

Triggered? Hardly. I’m not about to let a comment like the above go untouched for the bullshit it is, however.

You need to take a walk down to your local library and read some history books.

You’re the one extolling the virtues of fascism.

Add projection to the list, too. You’re just trolling, now. Good luck with that.

Even for a bootlicker, you seem especially bitter, sarcastic, and downtrodden. Might help to find someone licensed to talk that out. Ain’t healthy keeping it bottled up, and spewing vitriol on Lemmy doesn’t help anyone.

Better than trying to lick my way to the center of a boot while making disingenuous jabs on Lemmy.

Speaking up and calling out fascist behavior. Not spending my money on businesses that promote fascists. Voting. Keeping my long barrel in good condition, may it never need to be used.

Soap, ballot, jury, and cartridge boxes, in that order.

Spoken like a good little bootlicker.

Best keep that tongue on that boot, lest it steps on you instead. Same goes for those businesses under a fascist government. I’m sure life will be good for them, especially if they don’t mind the taste of leather.

Remove their tongue from the boot, and business won’t be good for them.
