A lot of people owe that poor woman an apology.

Who is this woman? I’m not familiar with the reference.

You know what you see here? Acceptance of election results. You know, what many trumpers lack.

There was another woman I think about sometimes who was very upset about maga hats and I thought she was overreacting. I also owe that woman an apology

Wait was that actually pizzacake or is this someone else?

Funny that the one thing all three scenarios have in common is: “misled people that vote”. I wanted to write “dumb and ignorant people voting” but I wanted to be generous

The fucking Vlad supporters are winning and the short sighted dumbasses, in the UK and USA, fell for it.

Yes, this is what drives me crazy. These fascist fuckers literally wrote down what they were going to do and then started doing exactly that. How could we have known? A mystery, for sure.

Years ago someone told me on reddit that antivirus protections on personal PCs aren't necessary and a waste of processing power.

Can't really reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into.

Lemmy is very STEM-brained, maybe even more than Reddit

My favorite is when you point out someone outside the USA lives in a country where they shouldn't be throwing stones in their glass house continue to do so.

Fun fact: After WWII, people who had recognized the danger of fascism and opposed it from the start (such as Americans who fought in the Spanish Civil War) were often termed "premature antifascists" and regarded with suspicion and passed over for promotion in the military because of the possibility of having communist sympathies.

Overall 40 percent of Americans didn't even read a single book last year. Doesn't bode well for critical thinking if we can't even read.

I'm scared about the prediction of Britain saving America's ass in WW3.

More like the show has been running for over three decades, it would be weird if they didn't hit a few.

Which prediction exactly? The one about the current president becoming president, their writer was interviewed about, and he said they just chose him to symbolize the US hitting rock bottom. As they were smart and informed and therefore realized the then real estate mogul was a crooked lying cheater, that lied to steal and then slandered his victims to justify it, that was in bed with organized crime. I don't know if they knew that he was a career blackmailer, and also being blackmailed by Israel and their Epstein, and the Russians at a minimum though.

But the prediction isn't all that clairvoyant, because in their version the president just bankrupted us and then we elected Lisa, which would be a best case scenario as Lisa is a good person. While the president's party here will bankrupt the country, they are fixing elections, something the show didn't see, or put in the episode.

That's okay. I don't want credit. I want things to get better. I want to make things get better.

The best the Dems can do is demand their vote then if they win say they didn't need it but if they lose it's all the left's fault.

this current arc starts with 9/11.

Did you forget all the COVID anti-mask and anti-distancing insanity? The still-not-fully-understood blatant theft and corruption around the PPP “loan” program that pilfered so much money it inflated the US Dollar at unprecedented rates? The intentional separation of children from parents by force?

He didn’t surround himself with literally zombies who only say yes to him during his first term. Them turning on him when he wanted to overrule the election results showed that. He doesn’t know how government works and thought everyone should treat him like a king from the beginning and had a rude awakening that was term 1. Now he knows and thus, utter destruction.

No, the first term was pretty damn bad, it was a version 1.0 for sure but it was BAD.

This is nothing yet, and the previous wasn't bad for lack of their trying. There is nothing to stop them this time.
