Wonder if it's actually going to go anywhere, as France did have some high-profile politicians breaking the law via embezzlement and corruption recently, but ended up having the lightest sentences imaginable or not serving their sentences at all.

One can only hope, I suppose.

If 21 % can’t read (are Illiterate) then it makes sense that 79 % can read (are literate). So yes, nationwide and in the US are the same thing.

Seems like I can't read myself, I thought both said illiterate. My mistake.

Trump got 4 years of presidency in the US, which is definitely the more extreme punishment. It's something I would never wish upon my worst enemy

Dunno about you but I believe him

The source seems extremely dubious with seemingly no way to see how they conducted the study and where they pulled the numbers from ~~, and some of the points are not very well worded especially in their 2024 study, there the first 2 lines are:~~

~~"On average, 79% of U.S. adults nationwide are literate in 2024. 21% of adults in the US are illiterate in 2024."~~

~~Granted, English isn't my first language but those statements just seem contradictory. "U.S. adults nationwide" and "adults in the US" seems like the exact same thing, unless someone can correct me.~~ Turns out I'm the one who can't read, thought both examples used "illiterate" rather than "literate and illiterate"

Comment sections are also filled by bots so that doesn't give that much confidence either.

Lemmy is my main but I still use Reddit sometimes for more niche subreddits.

To be fair, them getting their shit together would be good regardless if there's another legitimate election in the future

Climate change isn't real, it's the democrat water machines they have in the ocean to punish red states, dummy.

It can also be reversed - there were some popular far-left YouTubers who were advocating for not voting or voting third party as a protest against Gaza genocide, yet things that mattered domestically like LGBT, women's rights weren't even considered or mentioned there. The cost of doing business, baby.

Maybe in a sense that 'genocide with some support' and 'genocide with full support' still result in genocide.

Damn these government bird-drone manufacturer DEI programs, really trying to pander to the woke LGBT cultural marxists...
