Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Sounds like maybe Trump did know something about Project 2025 after all...

Have you tried not being dumb? 🤔

[–] Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Have you.

Think of the subtext

[–] drmoose@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago (2 children)

You never felt like googling and doing a bit if research?

[–] Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Seriously this is why the left fails.

Image you have at your hands research that shows the majority of people do not read or Google.

The right generates content based on the knowledge their base isn't reading content if it takes more than a few minutes. This content comes off as over simplified but effective and everyone sees it. The left generates no content and instead spend all their time telling each other the right are idiots based on how simple the content they're seeing is.

You can say "did you Google it" all you want. Factually I'll tell you, no. And until you realize this, have fun with a Republicans destroying shit while you smuggly ask if people are googling stuff and calling them idiots.

Was there something that should have been brought to everyone's attention? Did anyone Google it outside a few circles you're in? If you went outside and asked people what project 2025 was at your coffee shop would they know? Would they Google it? But I bet they would have opinions on whatever the Republicans are bringing up this week.

Imagine writing such walls of text to defend ignorance 🙈

I mean by definition you're the ignorant one here. You're making my point.

Dr. Moose, you can sneer all you want, but you're still on the Auschwitz train.

Honestly no. There's a new issue every day. Especially with trying to stay afloat with people on the left. You can say all you want that "just google it" and that's amazing we should. But end of the day we don't. And if you are behaving and acting in a world where your reality doesn't exist, you will continue to fail at what you do.

What Republicans have done is understood the reality. Why do Republicans have so much more content than the left? They generate it and they go out through headlines and memes and shit posts to get people talking. Then those people who are emotionally invested continue to break up their messages into digestible bite sizes because they speak to the people like me who do not read. And that gets more people introduced to their messages. The left on the other hand create their 100,000 post that week where every single comment is a variation of "this sucks" "they're racist" "eww I don't like it" then log off.
