I’m glad you cleared up being against his tariffs. What about his sexism?

So much going on in this comment. What does being a “real man” or a “menstruating woman” have to do with having courage in your convictions?

Maybe I’m missing subtle irony? I get it that this is traditional republican language. But this reads like an affirmation of these gender stereotypes.

I think there are better ways of illustrating republican cognitive dissonance than parroting it in your critique of them.

The realization that the purpose of our lives may be to discover the tactics of resistance that are not effective in hopes that those that come after survive long enough to find the ones that are effective

Some More News- Trans People Are Real and Detransitioning Isn’t That Common

While it is humorous that many gun nuts had their data sold and targeted by an algorithm, the real surprised pikachu goes to anyone thinking that this is unique to guns.

oh… You’re a moron. Got it.

So how do you pay to defend a wrongful death action that can be brought even after a self defense aquittal?

What Is Civil Liability After Self-Defense

Ha. I think that was in the further reading section of the Wikipedia article. You’re not wrong. I was just providing a this is what happened historically…

See Worcester v. Georgia essentially two states attempted to secede and the federal government stepped in (after first defying the court) to save the union. Does not bode well for the union at this point in history.

This is 100% correct.

Also don’t discount the economic system working as intended. If I get off the hamster wheel to “riot,” my family quickly loses basic necessities.

Once my best alternative to a negotiated resolution moves off that reality (meaning keep my head down and my family will get through this) more options become available. The system is designed to keep a critical majority on the wheel.

Don’t forget they are not being released in isolation. They have existing networks and just proved their loyalty to the cause.

ProPublica: The Militia and the Mole

Please don’t sleep on JD Vance. While Trump is selling out the constitution, he is the tip of the want-to-be authoritarian spear: Is There Something More Radical than MAGA? JD Vance Is Dreaming It.

Great. Send the link. Why it’s important, now more than ever, to fact check on the internet

How do you know that the majority of people with Long COVID were vaccinated. This 2023 study says

Current studies suggest that covid-19 vaccines might have protective and therapeutic effects on long covid. More robust comparative observational studies and trials are needed, however, to clearly determine the effectiveness of vaccines in preventing and treating long covid.

100% agree with both points. The disconnect is the timeline each considers. As a father I am deeply empathic for the children that are not able to advocate for themselves and the immunocompromised that are basically left to be assaulted by other’s ignorance.

But longer term, think multigenerational, the higher death rates for the anti-vax crowd may be the correction that leads to better overall outcomes for humanity.

This is why I love Lemmy. Thank you for being an amazing internet citizen.

Not disputing any of this, but an article associated with Barry Weiss? Have any other legitimate sources that corroborate any of the opinion points? She doesn’t have the best rep. And that article made broad generalizations and associations.

For example, the headline implies that this was a position Biden held. However, Trump said he would do the same thing Trump Says He Would Block US Steel Acquisition by Nippon Steel

This Axios article at least makes the point that while all of the above may happen, it’s so complicated that the proof will be in whether jobs disappear or not.

The real headline is neither major political party cares about the working class and is pandering to the whims of those who hold power.

Indeed

I let you have this win, seems like you really need it! XOXO

My liege… I suggest you devote a significant portion of this years penguin budget to reading comprehension. Be well!
