His progressive politics must be portrayed as a catastrophic failure in any way possible. Otherwise the elite class will be shitting their pants.
The elites need to maintain the status quo at all costs.
Some on the far right praise him, yeah. That's true. "Universally" was my use of hyperbole.
The vast majority of UK residents despise him though, to the point that any political leader coming out in support of him would effectively be killing their career. Hence why Nigel Farage is dancing around the topic like maypole.
It shows a really quite astounding lack of self awareness to even think that it's worth having a premier in the UK.
Had she been even remotely aware of how we (I'm from the UK) feel about her husband over here, she would know that this was inevitable.
Her husband is universally despised in this country. Even by the Right.
Amen.
Let them clearly show they support the brutal and oppressive tactics. Then there's no debate when this is finally over as to who stood up and aho didn't.
It's funny how so many people are willing to write letters but none of these powerful people are willing to go there, see for themselves what's happening and speak about it.
They all talk big but they never, ever put themselves anywhere near harms way. Not even politically, let alone physically.
Everyone knows the "all it takes for bad to prevail is for good people to do nothing" quote or whatever it is. The Democrats are the living embodiment of that saying. As long as they get re-elected and still have their money they couldn't care less.
Sorry! I see where I messed up now.
It should have read "is there a thread on Lemmy for organising action against misinformation (elsewhere on the internet)?
That's what I meant. I'll work on my grammar if I'm going to stick around.
I have not seen any on here. Only on Reddit.
I do not understand how this has been misconstrued. I can't look at my original comment as it was removed but let me be clear. I have not seen any on here. At all. I never meant to say I had. There has been some confusion somewhere.
I have a hard time sympathising with anyone that voted for Trump. That's for sure. Anyone who was happy with America's foreign policies in the past 20 years would get the same treatment.
I think it's important to recognise that there are many people in America who resent what their country is going through and often resent the actions of their government.
Many Americans are isolationist. Many are progressive. There's a real mix of different beliefs.
I would honestly blame their system of government more than the average American. The system seems designed to exploit the average citizen as mich as possible whilst enriching those in power. In fact I would argue you could not create a better supposedly "democratic" system actually designed to exploit average workers if you tried.
Sorry I must have not made myself clear at all.
I meant Reddit is crawling with them.
I have no idea about Lemmy as I've been here less than a day, as you said, but it seems normal to me. How Reddit was pre-2016.
Again, sorry for the misunderstanding.
I'm just going to play it safe and never talk about it again on here from now on.
Yeah. It's easily done.
What I wouldn't give for a T.R Roosevelt figure in today's climate, while we're in that era!
Great. Sounds interesting to me. Thank you!
Very sorry to hear that.
Although I don't know you personally I sincerely hope, as I'm sure you do, that you succeed in your battle against it and that you have a great deal many more healthy years ahead of you.
You're doing fantastic work here and I believe I speak for everyone when I say a massive thank you for it.
All the best ππ
