I know personally 3 people, 2 from work, one neighbor closely. Reasonable, pro equality in all fronts and not MAGA. We still don't agree on abortion (none of them want to ban abortion), guns (none think we should hand AR15s to anyone), how big the government should be. They don't like Trump, but don't want democrats. The "ALL republicans are racist/sexist" is absurd and that's what my last comments are about. While people on both sides demonize and make assumptions on the other side, this divide will keep getting bigger.

70,980,347 genocide lovers, counting me. I enthusiastically voted, not against a piece of crap of a person, but for genocide. Everyone republican is MAGA, every democrat has posters of dead palestinian kids in their walls. 32 bit colors is a waste, make everything black and white.

(before getting people triggered, I don't agree with the guy and did vote for Harris. Can't wait until the maga cult dies off.)

I mean, there are a small group of people on the left being racist/sexist in the open making every part of "white cis straight male" as pejorative as possible. Calling to even exterminate them on twitter. You know, the kind of people that don't want to end oppression but instead wants to switch roles. They want revenge, not peace. Of course foreign bots too, to sow discord. Right picks up that and amplifies it to seem the entire left thinks and acts like that. Worse yet, this small group tends to go and yell at regular, common sense people who agree on equality instead of going to yell at true racists/misogynists/homophobes because that'd be dangerous. A regular person walks in eggshells because saying something isn't sanctioned by these people can get you fired, since the companies don't want the PR disaster. Meanwhile, people in the middle of the country losing their jobs due to factories closing or not making enough to survive seeing people discussing bathrooms for minorities (it is important but let's not forget priorities). It's easy to see how that would push people to the other side, because frankly you don't have options. Of course Trump is another league, extremist, criminal (basically mocking criminal justice by dodging everything while committing crimes in the open), likely compromised by foreign countries, and endorsing the worst in the right. But hey, no choices. I'd love to see maga/republicans split in two parties and democrats and progressists in another 2. Give people more fine grained choices.

Just like that in c/politics

I wish. Actually I've seen some bitching turning the drop in democratic votes as "clear evidence" of 2020 cheating. That and conspiracy theories because Biden has been incredibly sharper after the debate (as in it was a conspiracy to take him out). It's hard to fight to not live in a bubble but holy crap the trumpettes and russian bots are very annoying.

Anon prefers Frameworks over Thinkpads in c/[email protected]

[–] curiouschipmunk 2 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Something some thinkpad users value a lot is the trackpoint. I'm seriously considering breaking a 4 thinkpad (3 X2x0, one X1 carbon) spree with a 13" framework but not having trackpoint is a big issue for me. I'm using the fact my X1 is still fast enough for my use to wait and hope for framework to get a trackpoint. There're more people in the same boat in framework's forums.

Both sides! in c/politicalmemes

That I think it's the scariest thing we have right now: a lot of people that forgot we need to live together and trying to shove your ideology down others throats is not the way to go, no matter how right one believes to be.

Tech plutocrats like Thiel and Elon Musk already have money, now they want power. Why tech billionaires are aligning with the Trump Vance ticket. in c/politics

I'm sure nothing that is happening has to do with Biden's plan on taxing harder the 1%...

But don't say it out loud in c/[email protected]

[–] curiouschipmunk 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I believe the same. Want it or not, Trump has the charisma that nobody else in the party does. And the luck. My only hope to stop the madness was to have Trump losing the election then dropping dead by natural causes after. That'd be safest way to take all his followers out of the spell. I really don't see any other way for his cult to end. Then the right wing extremists go back to hate in their closets and, if democrats are smart, keep having more moderate candidates like Biden and reign the extreme left as well.

how do ypu protect your door? in c/mustang

I'd say PPF but it won't do a lot depending how the scratches happen. I myself gave up hope and humanity and park as far as I can from everybody, preferably in a corner where you keep one of the sides protected, parking as close as possible to that side to give as much room as possible from the exposed side. Just be careful to not scratch your wheels.
