Unfortunately this is partially because a large portion of the US populace doesn't ever hear the truth. So much time and effort has been spent on overtaking media outlets that even -after- gas prices started rising there are people who don't realize it's because of the war. It's disgusting, and I have no idea what the average person can do about it. It feels like I'm shouting into the void.

    Ah yea, if only they would hear the truth, they would totally- Everyone and their mother knows about Epstein. The majority of humans are straight up unable to care one iota about people outside their most immediate tribe.

    For Americans whose praxis has always been colonialism and slavery, you're shouting at your enemies that you're their opponent.
    Otherwise, ICE and deportations would have never existed in the first place.

    Neolibs hate this graph precisely because it points out their lies.

    You don’t remember Biden being president in 2020? Gee, if this graph failed to point out that big neolib blunder year it’s almost like it would tell a completely different story with 2021-2024 being four of the lowest years on the graph. Don’t you see how the DNC is just as bad?

    Tap for spoiler/s

    Obama was still responsible for the killings during his last few days of 2017.

    Biden is only responsible for killing folks after the end of January of 2021.

    Tis why it's a translucent shade of blue, and not opaque.

    Very confusing visualization. There's gotta be a better way.

    You need others to fix your errors?

    Why not fix it yourself or (low effort) edit your post?

    if 2017 is blue, so should 2025. the blue areas should be by month.

    like, if the graph gets outside of this little bubble we're in, it's so easy to debunk that it can be used as an example of "leftists sure are dumb". not because the data in red is wrong, but because the blue areas look like they've been made wrong on purpose as propaganda.

    then fix🤷‍♀️. Lemmy needs to mature enough itself from labels and sentences, and intersect when folks err, and mutual aid when they can.

    tis why I have DNIs from folks whose only praxis is sentencing&labeling folks. To nuture understanding, one must lend hands to catch each others’ falterings.

    Deriving ad hominem as an attack and missing that the intent, perhaps so poorly able to made as there exists no correct distinction of any sense of absolutish. Especially as the only thing truly absolute is that the only exception to it is suicide. Reading that with the mistake of implying narcissism, which I mean as not of any person in particular but rather the error of Unreal logic unclicked into a Closed Source Tournament game. Hash paint I'm sloppy drawing right now as the application relevancy, if you Will.

    Obama was president for 9 years, Trump's first term was 2 years, Biden's term was 5 years? I think everyone hates that graph.
