I could certainly see this being something they're doing. Flooding the zone to give the impression of support. The problem with right wing rhetoric is that it's very attractive to the uninformed. It's really really easy to be a racist, for example. It's much harder to instill empathy.

I think it's working. Right as people were finally leaving Twitter during the election season and moving to Lemmy, Blue sky, mastodon, threads, etc. The election was already in full swing. So support on the left was fractured and disconnected from the main spaces where it would reach normal folks. Twitter, Truth Social, and Facebook remained strong and their message was everywhere all the time.

What do we do to stop it though? Grass roots grow Lemmy into something respectable? By the time it gets popular enough to matter, the right will invade and corrupt it.

I just upgraded to a Pixel 6 from Galaxy S8. The Galaxy had a panel that could easily be popped off. I realize this new phone does not. My bad.

I wish I could believe this. I've made the mistake of engaging with them on MSN and it's a full blown Jonestown style cult. They are ready to lose everything for Trump.

Yeah I'm not proud to say it but it's just getting to that point. What other options are there? Just let them destroy the country and when it's finally down to not having food or water, maybe then we fight? Pathetic. The French would already have Paris on fire.

Even worse. I don't know why they show up and pretend to be journalists. They are just propaganda mouthpieces anymore. And they have no loyalty to each other as journalists. If one of them gets ignored by the White House they just allow it and move on rather than imagining themselves as the target instead. It's sick. This country is absolutely fucked and the populace is to blame.

Exactly.

A real win is increasingly seeming to require flames.

They aren't changing any Trumpist minds. They just aren't. The stock market could reach zero valuation and theyd still be shilling for Trump.

Pull the battery out?

You're not wrong. We need riots weeks ago.

What negative press? His supporters are all in. They're brigading every online message board and spamming about how this is great for the country.

No thanks.
