Number 1: I’d like to see that. Number 2: How would hiding in a bunker with guns effect any more change than posting memes on Lemmy?

I mean most of us were acutely aware of it since November of 2016 and perhaps even before, but yeah. So far the awareness seems to be more of a punishment because we can see the train wrecks coming but can't seem to convince the drivers of the car we're in to actually stop parking on the tracks.

Perhaps blissful ignorance may save our mental state.

People need to nut up and do something other than posting dumbass memes that don’t change anything in the echo chamber.

Okay. You first.

Except the people that wear shit like this are the same people who constantly say "all trans/gays/immigrants/Democrats are pedos". So this shirt isn't about literal pedos. It's about hating groups of people they've arbitrarily assigned this label to.

Why do you think the government either controls the social media networks

I think you'll find, in 2025, it's social media that controls the government.

The racists all wanted to leave the US because it wasn't racist enough. However now the racists are in power and they don't want to leave anymore.

No they are aware. They hate liberals more than they hate conservatives. They say so all the time.

But it's okay because he is their fascist.

If you want them to change, run for office and become the DNC. Actually turn out and get other leftists to turn out and vote. Coalesce with democrats and prioritize defeating Republicans over screaming about how bad the DNC is so you can work internally to get your agendas passed. As it is, the energy I get from leftists is a temper tantrum throwing child who is mad their parents won't buy them crisps at the store. Screaming and yelling doesn't make mummy and daddy more likely to buy you the thing you want. It makes them want to leave you kicking and screaming on the ground while they continue their shopping.

If you want things to change you have to become the adult and enact the change yourself. The DNC is not your parent or some singular entity that you need to convince to give into your demands with your tantrums. It's a political body filled with people, mostly old people who aren't impressed with your tantrums because young people aren't engaging in politics.

You have to work your way up and replace those old people and that means running and winning local elections.

Stop being lazy and hoping someone will do it for you.

Not to mention leftists will latch onto it too and repeat the lie everywhere yet swear up and down that they voted for the Democrat even though they shit on them any time they open their mouth.
