Rules:
- The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
- Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
- If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
- Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
- For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
- Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
- This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.
- All Lemmy.World Terms of Service apply.

MODERATORS
You're happy that the genocidal afrikaaner Musk got to kill hundreds of thousands, you're happy Netanyahu expanded into Lebanon, you're happy Trump got to give Netanyahu a fake ceasefire under which killings continue, you're happy innocent Iranians are dying, all so you can claim you're a good person for opposing Biden.
It's easier to pretend you're not responsible for assisting genocide than acknowledge it.
Trump's win made everything worse and you're happy that it is worse.
Not at all.
I did not vote for Donald, but if it makes you feel better to presume, go for it. It doesn't matter so you may as well find a coping mechanism.
Did you warn anybody a win for Trump would make things worse? Did you do anything at all but just complain? Were you one of the people who said Trump couldn't make it worse?
Because it sounds like you're coping and projecting it, because maybe you could've had a president that wouldn't have attacked Iran and that could've been reasoned with, and maybe even Trump's convictions would've sent him to jail, but no, ideological purity was so much more important
You can see with your own eyes the parties are objectively not the same, as one of them supports Israel in killing innocent people in Iran while Israel expands their genocide to Lebanon too, but you absolutely refuse to acknowledge anything has changed
