This person makes a great point. It's amazing how vapid and meaningless our common discourse has become. Long has it been since edifying conversation has been the norm.

Trump voters want to talk about making towns safe, permanently removing people who cause problems or don't play along properly, and make a society where white men to a greater extent can do some kinds of horrible abuse behind closed doors with everyone knowing, most people tolerating it, and only a few authority figures able to do anything about it if they want to or are pressured to.

Peak liberalism.

Imagine thinking that once the loudest symptom of fascism is no longer visible, the decades long multibillion dollar Republican project to undemocratically seize power just goes away. That all the structural issues with America go away.

Big “We want to go back to brunch” energy.

Tbh, my wife and I used to have a monthly brunch with a gay couple-friends once a month and we haven't done that since like 2019.

I do want to go back to brunch. But that's besides the point.

As if voting trump out is going to save that shithole. Democrats are not going to install a fascist regime but don’t believe they’ll fix things. The rich will get richer while the poor get poorer (and dumber still)

You're a foreign actor, trying to influence the elections. Very bad. Much evil.

The problem isn't Trump (in this case), the problem is social media. Get off social media. Find better alternatives. Even at the best of times, when are people ever having a civil conversation about art, movies, music, etc?

I don't use apps unless they allow creation of block lists. My news RSS app has loads of keywords blocked (including Trump, Harris, etc). My Lemmee block list is huge. Items like this post get through when they don't trigger my keywords, but this makes me think I really should add on "USA".
