average lemmy user: “but communism is still waaaay better than capitalism”

How’s that communism working out for them?

Oh, get a grip. Just add this to the list of many things Trump has said he would do that he never did. You guys do know he says stuff like this all the time just to play to his base, right? Well, nothing drives clicks like declaring that democracy will end.

Hell yeah. Even though I disagree with Biden on most issues, I guess I have to give him some credit for this.

buggy, infrequent updates, lack of content, an ideological hive mind…is anyone really surprised?

Sure, why not take the handful of stories you read every day about bad cops, then extrapolate way outside that range and confidently declare that “most cops in America are bad people”, which is 1) subjective, and 2) stated without evidence?

The cops performing their jobs without getting into trouble don’t make the news.

I love threads like this where I get to read all the insane takes from the armchair cops. You have the benefits of knowing all the after-the-fact details and not needing to make a split-second decision, so you think it’s just so simple to take your preferred course of action. No, the police are not bloodthirsty murderers who look for any excuse to kill a civilian, but you paint them that way in your head to justify your hatred of them.

Do we have to make everything political now? Can’t we just enjoy the game?

When so many people make comments like this and “basket of deplorables”, is it any wonder that so many people are so enthusiastic about Trump? It’s clear to them that people like you think very little of people like them, and they see him as “their guy”. Turns out people don’t like it when others make sweeping generalizations by calling them, and nearly half the country, evil.

And Lemmy isn’t an echo chamber? Try posting any conservative opinions around here and see how many downvotes you get.

Lol, they can release them after Aiden Hale’s manifesto is released.

I’m already laughing, but I’m going to be laughing even harder when this all backfires on the Trump haters.

The mainstream media has treated Republicans with contempt and derision for years. Why wouldn’t they be bitter?

Maybe they’re being downvoted because they’re uninteresting comments that add nothing to the discussion?

America bad! Europe good! I was really hoping we left this tired joke on Reddit.
