Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
I remember asking on reddit before the election that if Trump and the Republican party are so bad then why don't we revoke Trump's citizenship and people (libs) freaked the heck out; lots of 'You can't defeat tyranny by becoming tyrants! Then you just have tyranny!', or 'That's a catch 22! You're trying to defeat tyranny by becoming a tyrant!', or 'behaving like this is what dictatorships do, and if you want to see what a dictatorship looks like, then wait until Trump wins!'
For reference and the irony:
EDIT (the actual link; I linked the wrong page): https://www.reddit.com/r/TooAfraidToAsk/comments/1dssr87/if_trump_or_the_republican_party_is_actually_that/
So basically don't fix the problem via the method that Republicans would absolutely fix theirs
I would go back and ask all these people how it's going now but they've spent the whole time since Kamala lost herself the election blaming the rest of us
Also the post is downvoted to zero because
Also some comment about something something iphones can't cheeseburgers
That's literally liberals' MO
"We can't do good thing because it would set a terrible new precedent!"
Conservatives immediately set new precedent by doing something atrocious that liberals could have slowed, averted entirely, or at least taken advantage of if they did the good thing
