I totally understand feeling worn out but I know there is light at the end of the tunnel if unite and work together. In 2025 there are going to be local elections. These local elections really matter because they decide who will run your community. In 2026 the House and some Senate seats are up for election along with some governess. That election I think will determine the fate of this country. We must come back stronger than ever vote out all the corrupt politicians who oppose our democracy.

I hope we can still correct course. The sad part is what many would consider a prediction is more that he was observing trends already happening even back then.

From the Wikipedia article about "Agenda 47" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agenda_47#Education

This is one of the items:

"Freedom to Pray", i.e. "we will support bringing back prayer to our schools".

I guess he's qualified to be president.

This has been a long standing conspiracy theory amongst right wing talk show hosts and other people. Basically the claim is that FEMA will imprison lots of people especially those with far right views using a emergency as a pretext. This conspiracy theory has been widely debunked already.

The interesting thing is now something like the conspiracy theory may happen in real life except ran by ICE instead of FEMA. I'm curious how people who previously propagated this conspiracy theory feel about Trump's plan for a mass deportation. If you know anyone who's into this conspiracy theory would you be able to ask them their thoughts on the FEMA camps and then bring up Trump's mass deportation plan. I'm curious how'd they'd react. Let's not assume because everyone is different. While trying to research this question I found one article from the right that showed deep concern about Trump's plan: https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2024/nov/20/deep-state-wants-terminate-constitution/ but I can't really find much information otherwise.

It's really hard to say because there are so many different listings for laptops. Try calculating a spec to price ratio to determine if it's a good value or not.

I'm still shocked by the number of gay, black, latino and women votes Trump got this election. I wish they would realize that racism, sexism and homophobia are what drives Trump's most loyal and core supporters.

I'm very sorry, I tried to use the search function prior to posting to make sure it wasn't already posted. I don't know if it was because I made a mistake or if it was because I searched based on the URL instead of the title but for some reason I didn't receive any results.

This article was posted shortly before the election but everything in there is still true and seeing his appointees perhaps worse than predicted.

Group think and tribalism is very powerful. I used to be a Trump supporter and I remember thinking about how women were more likely to vote for progressive candidates with the conclusion that perhaps they shouldn't be doing that. I now very deeply regret being part of that and I'm so grateful I broke free of all that nonsense. Monkey see, monkey do is very true. That's why it's important that our leaders demonstrate good behavior and set a good example for everyone.

Yes, if that many people would do that it could make a huge difference

[-] WeUnite@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

I kind of see your point there. My hope though is that maybe people could gain more empathy for each other by understanding that we are all human and I hope that one day people can understand each other's struggles.

[-] WeUnite@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

Yes, this makes sense! Hopefully while doing so one could build a coalition that includes more and more people.

Here's a copy and paste from the 1933 article:

Rise in Stocks Reflects Confidence He Will Not Disrupt Nation's Affairs

Berlin is settling down to pass judgment on political developments. Politicians, economists and bankers declare there is usually wide discrepancy between the speeches of opposition politicians and the actions of the group when it gains power.

Consequently, it is not believed that Hitler will accomplish a change in the constitution or that [Reich Minister of Economics Alfred] Hugenberg will bring about a general reduction of interest rates. The government wants to obtain an adjournment of the Reichstag for several months, but it is questionable whether the Centre [Party] will approve of such action.

Most people just want a good life. If we stopped seeing each other as the enemies the world could be better.

[-] WeUnite@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

We must do everything we can to stop this. Please try contacting three of your friends who you think will listen but don't know what's going on and let them know. Kremlin propaganda is trying to get us to fight each other and undermine the US. So far it's been working but we have the power to stop it.
