2024 is basically just “2016: The Sequel”
With a bit of added 2020 spice
Not only US politics. Romania is about to vote for a right wing extremist as their president, Germany is going to vote for a right wing, extremist party in February, France gave right wing extremists 30% of parliament, Spain voted for a right winger too, Hungary has had Victor Orban for years, and so on. All the while progressive and left leaning people either don’t vote, strategically vote for a center right party, or vote for some unknown, unimportant, backwater party that has no chance of doing anything in parliament.
The problem is that centrists consistently align themselves with the far right in order to screw over the leftists.
And leftists can’t unite because they spend their time arguing about whose motives are more pure.
Leftists are busy screwing over other leftists because they’re not good enough.
MAGAs are dumb but ‘both sides same so I’m not going to vote’ leftists might as well be braindead.
Relevant:
Now there’s no more oak oppression
For they passed a noble law
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet, axe, and saw
Rush’s don’t do stuff like that. They got these lyrics about… how trees are talking to each other, and how different sides of your brain works, and outer space bullshit.
They’ll just keep blaming it on the other sheep and the sheepdogs and the shepherds
Yeah, he will just manifest a new enemy to blame for his incompetence. Last time, it was the “deep state.” Remember, everything he says is accepted as fact. Like election fraud, where the only evidence is that he said it. Reality has never stood in the way of sheep logic.
Hitler also carried out everything he campaigned on. It’s the appeal of a populist strongman, they actually do what they say they’re gonna do.
The problematic part was all the extra stuff he didn’t mention. When he said he would deal with the Jewish problem few people understood how far he would go. He was also beholden to big business despite his apparently socialist posturing.
You’d think we would have learned from the past, but no. Humanity has a short memory.
I feel like it should be something along the lines of told/outspoken/self-proclaimed [socialism] as apparent would imply that his acts had the look of socialism, which was not really the case
“he tells it like it is! and unlike the liars on the ‘left’, his lies are obvious and so we’re all in on it!”
Wanton stupidity abounds…
No one told me there’d be wontons!
What were you saying about stupidity?
Anybody else wish, that people remembered, how to use commas?
Yes, I, do
In German, the above is how a comma used, and this type of usage might might be common in other languages too.
That’s cool but from what I can tell he’s writing in English.
Oh boo hoo, the non-native speaker isn’t using your language with perfect grammar. This is something only someone who has never learned another language would complain about.
It’s possible the poster isn’t a native speaker.
This is how I know I’m with my people here on Lemmy.
Anyone know if u/commahorror made it here?
Between that and all the “I told you so” people, I can’t fucking wait to go online for rich social experiences from very great Americans taking action about their situation /s
Edit: Yes, I have set up some Lemmy filters, but it’s gonna take time to refine. If anyone has a good list of filter keywords, it would be kind to share out to others.
All of them
I wish.
And I’d like to propose a more humane perspective, the “wolves” here will go great lenghts to keep their fanbase from understanding what’s going on.
The kerning on filled is distracting me. What font does that?
Keming font
I don’t see anything weird about the kerning, unless you mean the “fi” ligature.
Is that the right word for it? Whatever you call the dot on the i disappearing.
Noooo the fl 😭 It looks too much like an A!
It’s a ligature, it’s an intentional thing to make it easier to read funnily enough. More and more fonts are supporting them these days so you’re gonna see more of them.
There are some common ones in these words, but some fonts support even more: Official, finger, flight, affluent
Thanks, I hate it.
Make trumpgret great again
2025 will be sheep watching the wolf use sheep to build a fence to keep the other wolves (actually sheep the wolves have combined the inside sheep are wolves) out, 2026 will be the slaughter of the sheep.
As long as it doesn’t directly hurt them they’ll still love it
Even if it does they’ll always find a scapegoat
