Rules:

The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.
All Lemmy.World Terms of Service apply.

Brent Jindra, a tech salesman, voted for President Trump three times, drawn by his aggressive immigration agenda. He never imagined the crackdown would ensnare his own wife.

So you see, the upper echelon want us fighting with ourselves. The more you feed into it, the more you play into their hands.

Yes, you will never have the same views as those folks, but don't take your eye off the ball. A fragmented population is much easier to control.

I'm not saying fully forgive or that you'll be best friends, but it's your countryman. Unite against the real enemy.

Education is the only long term answer. RWA personality disorder is a genetic predisposition, but the brainwashing that turned these people into self-destructive fanatics, utterly subjugated by the drum of fear, anger, and hate, is frustrated directly by all forms of education, since lack of it is what the brainwashing exploits, directly.

Unfortunately, once they have breached that gap and filled the fanatic’s mind with corrupted worldviews over decades, that represents a complete education of fear, anger, and hate, and their personality becomes so entangled with the corruption that little of who they once were or could be remains any longer.

To escape that cult and become a former fanatic while possible requires intervention from loved ones, assuming any remain who they haven’t alienated, followed by a long personal journey to excise all the fear anger and hate, salvaging whatever uninfected shreds of their former self might remain, and growing anew.

But that is a best case scenario. Most of these fanatics will remain as a cancer among us until they die.
