Jon Stewart examines the choice undecided voters are facing in the 2024 election: Kamala Harris, who has an impressive résumé and specific policy plans, versus Donald Trump, whose vision, consistency on issues, anti-labor ethos, and militaristic posturing are at odds with the caricature his followers have created for him.
I feel like I’m saying this every day…
His supporters only care that he’s a racist.
They don’t care about his record.
They only care that he’s racist like them.
I think for a lot of people, the economy was better during Trump’s presidency than Biden’s.
These people are ignorant to the fact that Trump inherited Obama’s economy and could literally coast for 4 years and the economy would not change.
He left Biden with a shit show post Covid which also included a massive tax cut for corporations and the wealthy which in no way would pay for itself.
They also like his “Christian values”… AKA banning abortion
Like higher infant mortality? Poor education?
You mean women as chattel?
Their views on women are worse than the worst Muslim views. The most they have on Muslims is the hijab when Muslim countries have the highest rate of women in STEM fields in the world, and Muslim countries that haven’t been destabilized by the US and Israel also have them exceed men in advanced degrees.
I am not saying that it is all hunky dorey in the Muslim world, but it isn’t what they say it is.
You keep saying it every day to people who upvote you at a 100% rate. I don’t think your message is ever received by anyone who disagrees. My question is what’s the point? This is a waste of electricity.
p.s. also all trump supporters are quickly banned on lemmy
You haven’t been banned.
And you go down the thread posting shit like this. That’s also a waste of electricity. I guess humans are just wasteful. 🤷
The person you responded to has added absolutely nothing. A waste of time really.
To me seems like there’s a potential of a discourse of some sort. Certainly the freshest opinion in the entire post.
Weird to see a website actually uphold it’s rules on transphobia, homophobia, misinformation, and not being a fascist fuckface, huh?
To me seems like you’re mainly interested in shushing your political opponents.
From the overall sentiment, your only option, really, is to either imprison 40% of your population, if you’d eventually instate the same laws but on the national level instead of lemmy, or to solve matters in a civil war.
I’d, frankly, would be very worried if I were you, and I’d spend my days trying to figure out a solution.
You spend your days meeting the same people, going in a circle one-by-one, everyone in their turn says “trump bad” and the rest nods. Kind of an emotional support group.
Way to out yourself as a piece of shit fascist! If you don’t agree that banning transphobes, homophobes, and literal traitors to our democracy is a good thing, fuck off!
Lol, Imagine actually thinking they have 40% of the general populations support. If it wasn’t for gerrymandering the GOP wouldn’t win shit here
No, we comment on a forum about it. New to the internet?
I say it to people who are trying to understand why Trump has a following. It’s not because he’s smart or a great businessman.
It’s because he’s racist. I love Jon Stewart but his message of trying to help liberals understand Trump’s acolytes misses the mark.
We don’t need to spend more time debating why people like him.
People like Trump because, and I say this again for people who missed it the first time, he is a fucking racist.
Tell me you don’t understand how Lemmy works without telling me you don’t understand how Lemmy works.
I’m literally banned for shitposting trump support messages. I have cold hard evidence.
I can literally see your posts right now.
Is this true? I lean more conservative and will probably vote for Trump. If saying that gets me banned, that’s crazy but I doubt I would. I’ve followed the rules here
You mean you stated a personal opinion in good faith without arguing, misrepresenting, or just making things up? How dare you?
