Albiet the poulation is older, white, conservative, religious so there is that problem.

Trump has broad aupport.
Im 58, I’ve et 4 people in my life I’d classify as “good”. Im with one and I’m not one.
All 4 are women, which gives me pause as a guy.
It’s already hapoened in the US.
Maybe. I thought and fought for this from the 1990s on my own small ways with no luck and only to see the rise and rise of walled garden, proprietary, bullshit software.
The issue is end users have the prescience of a gold fish, i have zero solutions to that.
well before the midterms when he losses his majority.
Seems to be board suooort for thsi shitstain and his acolytes and hes making voting much harder
The story i saw on Reddit nacknin the day explained how during her first electoral campaign her "supporters " literally attacked the wife of the D politcans, she was so scared she left the state.
He was also ininimidated and attacked of I recall correctly. No one to wants to be invoked with nutcases who put their partner in danger but that’s how the nazis win.
It reminds the rest of us there are sane American’s, so thank you Mr Vance for that.
They won’t, they’re immensely supportiv"
I did not mean that Conservatives are generally stupid; I meant, that stupid persons are generally Conservative. .-- John Stuart Mille
These are Cipolla’s five fundamental laws of stupidity:
Always and inevitably, everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.
The probability that a certain person (will) be stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.
3. A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses.
Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals. In particular, non-stupid people constantly forget that at all times and places, and under any circumstances, to deal and/or associate with stupid people always turns out to be a costly mistake.
A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person.
Indeed, GAB is a great example, their “freeze peach” or banned :)
Compartmentalise. It’s a trait of Homo sapien to convice themselves things are true, so they can believe any bullshit, try not to fall for it yourself in otjer areas.
The problem for me arises when they speak from authority on another subject they are expert in, if they’re so naive and easily misled on that, how can i trust their opinion on anything substantive?
A superb example of this is Katherine Hayhoe. I get around it by just reading nothing she writes on climate change because her evangelical christianisim just muddies the waters too much to take her at all seriously. On a side note, my goto is Professor Kevin Andersin.
Enshittification is subtle and started long before we realized.
No it didn’t , lot of folks have been banging on about it for decades.
Like privacy, most peole dont give a shit until it’s too late and then say but no body said anything.
I’ve been screaming into the void from the mid '90s.
Yeah, i went Steam in stead, Nintendo makes my skin crawl with disgust.

Not really working and just commenting on stuff they have no expertise in. I’m as skilled at it as tbey are, just not listened to as much :)
For most of the democratic world, the US Democrats are right wing, like Canada, Australian mainstream. conservatives are to then left of the Democrats…eg it was Australians mainstream right wing party that brought in compararively draconian gun laws (by US standards)
