I mean sure it looks good I guess but I’m not holding my breath that the White House office of gun violence prevention is going to stop mass shootings.
All this stuff is designed to sound good on paper but then what’s the real impact?

The reality is people posting this copium are just upset at the prospect of having to return to opposing the state. Having Biden in power meant you didn't have to give a shit who lived and who died because "Trump could be worse". The idea that you'd "hold him to account" was an objective lie and has allowed you all to sleepwalk into an inevitable victory for someone way more evil than the guy who spent his younger years advocating for killing women and children in Beirut.
If Biden wins, someone like Trump is inevitable in 4 years' time. Either way you're in the weimar republic now.

I do have to give a shit, but that's because I'm in a red state.
As a Texas resident, I get to see a new draconian set of fascist laws constrict around Harris County with every State Congressional cycle.
The Biden DOJ doesn't intervene. The local Democrats (John Whitmire, our Houston Mayor, is a prime example) just roll over in the face of it. And folks who protest to loud or too long routinely find themselves dead in the state prison system (the one with cells that go up to 100 degrees in the summer).
"Oh but look at what Biden has done for California and Minnesota and Delaware, tho!"
Yeah, thanks. I don't live there.
Folks in Texas and Florida and South Carolina and the Dakotas are getting thrown to the fucking wolves.
Are there any lemmy servers that consist of more moderate and centrist or even moderate right-leaning people? I don't like solely participating in the echo chambers, because if you don't think like the liberal hivemind you get insulted repeatedly with no meaningful discussion, and the talking points are combative instead of philosophical or thought provoking. Surely there are less extremist communities on lemmy somewhere?
The problem is I want a home feed where left-wing political stances and memes aren't crammed into every possible row, and lemmy users seem to spend significant amounts of brain power making anti-right wing memes and whatnot, so instead of having useful meaningful entertaining content it's just political garbage and left-wing propaganda. Might have to just make my own instance and somehow filter out the useless political rhetoric noise I guess.
