the school went on lockdown after federal agents were spotted in the area

I just want to call attention to the fact that this is where we are as a country. The mere presence of federal employees is causing schools to go into lockdown.

If that's not a clear indication that things are broken, I don't know what is.

Half the country loves this btw.

[–] skeezix@lemmy.world 53 points 3 days ago (2 children)

This cant be overstated enough. 70 million people absolutely love what's happening.

[–] bagsy@lemmy.world 27 points 3 days ago

Thats alot of pieces of shit.

Need a COVID for conservatives

It killed lots of them, but it had weakened by the time it spread to the rural states so it didn’t kill as quickly as the first wave in the big cities.

I'm still impressed that bird flu hasn't made the jump to humans yet, that would be an extremely aggressive disease that would kill a lot of people, as most diseases that jump from animals to humans. Republicans have been lucky that their cuts to any and all disease controls haven't resulted in it spreading freely

[–] sexhaver87@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

Oh, give it time.

[–] FalschgeldFurkan@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Do they really? I've seen a lot of comments supporting this shit, but I always thought they were propaganda bots...

[–] Resonosity@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago

We can't really know what the non-eligible voting population believes, but in the 2024 General Election, ~34% voted Republican, ~32% voted Democrat, ~1% voted 3rd party, and ~33% didn't vote.

It's more like at least a third of the country loves this, probably a little more although I have to imagine that some Republicans have soured on Trump, and that not all Republicans share the cult of personality idolization.

Much less than half, but they are a very noisy and emboldened group.

If you can get the apathetic and politically uninvolved to start caring, you can easily outnumber the MAGAts.

[–] Switorik@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 days ago

Good luck. They think by not caring, the country will fix itself and then justify not caring because everything's falling apart. Makes no sense.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 2 days ago

and they have propaganda that either frames it as a liberal hellhole, or they dont report it

[–] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago

We need to make it extremely unpleasant for those people

My male gamete donor is drooling with delight.

[–] NannerBanner@literature.cafe 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Your testicles drool? You might want to get that looked at by a doctor...

Fear has no place in school. Oh, this is America. Nevermind.
