That's how cults do their work. They convince people that what they're doing is perfectly normal and okay. Stop the negative thoughts. Don't question your leader. Your leader would never lie to you. Other people want to poison your mind. You're the normal one, everybody else is crazy. Don't leave or bad things will happen...

It's sorta like how "Christmas season" feels earlier and earlier every year... I'm a Grinch until Thanksgiving, and a patriotic non-partisan until Independence Day, thank you very much.

Like, I know the "no ragerts" thing is funny and all ... but this is legit a great take. I wish more people took this approach. Take the small failures in stride.

Not to attribute too much credence to the phrase, but I think it's worth considering "there's no such thing as bad publicity." Maybe the free publicity isn't so bad for Biden, no matter the light, because it's time not spent broadcasting his opponent's name into people's ears.

There's a "block user" feature in Lemmy. It's useful in situations like these. Some people never learn the limits of vulgarity.

Pretty sure they're either a troll or wildly ignorant. Either way, it's probably safe to just ignore them.

Unless you're willing to claim we're in a civil war, then I'm not willing to call Republicans "the enemy" ... That's that the real enemies of America want of us: to divide and conquer from within.

I think you're just projecting your own beliefs onto him.

That's fair; my statement was pretty strong. But I think we can agree that by comparison Biden cares more about it than his opponent, a known insurrectionist.

Yes, because he actually cares about what the Constitution stands for, not just some adversarial power game. Claim the paradox of tolerance all you want, but fighting fire with fire here is just participating in the same race to the bottom that's destroying our democracy here in the USA.
