What would be an example of this? It’s not obvious to me that by simply voting in a manner that benefits “the rich” then also means it’s against your own interests. When someone gains something it doesn’t mean I must lose something in exchange.
Well this is what I mean. Either what he did is not good or if it is, he didn’t have any meaningful part in it.
Very few things are all good or all bad but I see this as a net-positive thing, or for the very least, step in the right direction.
I’m an idiot and my opinions are worthless. No disagreement there.
…but I still feel confident in saying that there’s literally nothing Trump could do that would make the haters give him credit for.
Half of Lemmy would stop drinking water tomorrow if Trump said it’s his pick for quenching thirst.
I don’t think it’s that they don’t listen to anyone. People generally are open to hear different views as long as it’s done in good faith rather that in the form of accusations. Nobody wants to hear from someone who openly treats them as second class citizens. If you treat them with dignity and are open to hear their views as well you’re far more likely to get them to reflect on their own views too. Daryl Davis is a good example of this.
Any vending machine can be hacked. We used to get free sodas from one twenty years ago.
Well I mean you can go around calling them fascists all you want. That already got you Trump twice but maybe 3rd time is the charm.
Do you think they’re going to accept that he is one when the accusation is coming from someone on the left? I doubt it.
I don’t think that calling someone a pedophile is any more convincing than calling them a nazi. If anything, that’ll just make them dig their heels deeper.
I’ve been on both for over a decade longer than on Lemmy.
You literally cannot come closer to having your brains blown out and live to tell the tale. To downplay that as if it wasn’t a big deal is ridiculous and unreasonable.
Like it now does based on false claims made by humans
If you know it’s false, it’s called disinformation.

I have a good friend like this. He says quite extreme things like that from time to time. I don’t attack him for it. Instead we talk about it. I ask him questions, share my view on the matter etc. more often than not he then walks back what he said and openly admits that he shouldn’t generalize and understands that the few bad apples he has had to deal with don’t represent the majority.
People change. I did too. I used to say horrible things about gay people myself too when I was younger. Then I grew up and realized I’d actually like to have some of that dick too.
Your friend on the other hand probably only holds down to those beliefs even stronger now because of how you reacted. These are the people who vote for Trump to “screw with the libs”
He did literally get shot though.
When Q-Anon spreads baseless pedophile ring accusations it’s ridiculed but apparently doing the exact same thing for their side is fair game. Great display of double standards yet again.
What ever gets a reaction from the opposition I guess
I don’t know about others but I’m there for the porn
