Like Taking Crazy Pills Every Day

This conversation is held daily over in the echo chamber known as !conservative@lemm.ee

Careful, winning an argument with a mod earns a free lifetime ban.

I can still remember how the news in fucking Germany changed. Suddenly, once Biden was in office, we didn’t get US politics in our evening news multiple times per week anymore. The United States became silent again.

Look at all these fucking Russian/MAGA trolls in the comments trying to play a "both sides" thing.

I was there. I lived through both. You can go fuck yourself. Like trump.

I'm pretty old. Biden has been the best president of my lifetime.

He should be viewed as a national hero for beating Donnie in 2020 and making it stick, which was probably harder than it looked. The US President starting a coup has lots of strings to pull.

I honestly don't get the hate against Biden. From what I've seen, he's old and he's done a whole lot of good, more than the average democratic president.

Him being the choice over Trump should be an obvious, nearly anyone over Trump is the better choice, so what the hell is wrong with these people wanting to vote trump or not vote at all just to stick it to Biden?

Yes OK, but apart from all that, what has Biden ever done?

I’m ready to get past trump so we can stop talking about trump. His cluster B narcissism is loving all this attention. Can’t wait to never hear about the fucker

As someone who takes crazy pills every day, I am highly insulted that you associate me with the Trump administration.

Furthermore, my nipples are in tune with God and tweaking them will grant you his holy message.

I think the middle person is living on the military grade hopium where there's bound to be a revolution that solves everything, it's just around the corner too. So why bother trying to get small wins or even slow down the worsening conditions. Revolution will fix everything.

Any day now...

This video is about 2020 in general, but it really encapsulates the news style Trump fostered. Just a firehose of garbage that overwhelms the senses. And it's only gotten worse.

Like how do people like that exist with themselves all with coming up with an opinion and just not researching it let alone questioning it for a second just to be debased in a matter of seconds. And that’s giving them the benefit of the doubt. Deep down I think they are trolling.

What gets me is the Democrats have a candidate who actually supports policies that would enrich the poor and working poor: Marianne Williamson: Universal health care, universal living wages, affordable housing, free college, taxing the ultra wealthy, etc.

You wouldn't have to make excuses for her like you do for Biden. And even better, she can string together a coherent sentence.

This election is a rerun of 2016. You're all ignoring the most important fact, that tens of millions of Americans have experienced such paralyzing inflation that their cost-of-living has become untenable unless they work 2-3 jobs and sacrifice their lives and health in order to do it. I'm seeing it myself, with 80 year-old parents that have to work DoorDash.

They're not going to care that Trump is a fascist. What's going to win this election for Trump is that he can market himself as the candidate of change.

Are there any lemmy servers that consist of more moderate and centrist or even moderate right-leaning people? I don't like solely participating in the echo chambers, because if you don't think like the liberal hivemind you get insulted repeatedly with no meaningful discussion, and the talking points are combative instead of philosophical or thought provoking. Surely there are less extremist communities on lemmy somewhere?

The problem is I want a home feed where left-wing political stances and memes aren't crammed into every possible row, and lemmy users seem to spend significant amounts of brain power making anti-right wing memes and whatnot, so instead of having useful meaningful entertaining content it's just political garbage and left-wing propaganda. Might have to just make my own instance and somehow filter out the useless political rhetoric noise I guess.

I'm not sure revoking the permitting of keystone was a good move?

I fucking abhor the rapist orange turd, but he did sign in the farm act which (unintentionally, especially unpredictably to conservatives) made it pretty much legal to buy weed over the Internet in vape/gummy form. So at least something good came from his term.

We can all be good and lit for next time when he refuses to leave office and turns the US into Gilead.

i know you hate to hear this but its all symbolic cherrypicked stuff.

did he stop the concentration camps for mexicans at the border? or the genocide in gaza? did he rollback anything that matters?

democrats always pretend to be doing shit since i remember, but don't actually get anything done at all. then republicans inevitably come and push the country further into fascism, rinse repeat.

The reality is people posting this copium are just upset at the prospect of having to return to opposing the state. Having Biden in power meant you didn't have to give a shit who lived and who died because "Trump could be worse". The idea that you'd "hold him to account" was an objective lie and has allowed you all to sleepwalk into an inevitable victory for someone way more evil than the guy who spent his younger years advocating for killing women and children in Beirut.

If Biden wins, someone like Trump is inevitable in 4 years' time. Either way you're in the weimar republic now.

I mean sure it looks good I guess but I’m not holding my breath that the White House office of gun violence prevention is going to stop mass shootings.

All this stuff is designed to sound good on paper but then what’s the real impact?

Why isn't Biden out there reminding everyone of this?? People think he haen't done anything because he's doing zero chest beating, which is what you WANT to do to win over the morons not paying attention.

Yet again, Democrats prove themselves to be garbage politicians, yet idiots CONSTANTLY defend Democrats for utterly failing to take ANY win.

This is all so fucking pathetic, watching people argue about which pile of shit they want to step in to.

he constantly flirted with WW3

How?

If we were flirting with ww3 before, what would you say the current president is doing today?

Ok. So orange man is a fucking maniac.

But rejoining the Paris agreement is just dumb without intention or interest of fulfilling it. So many countries have signed it just for show. Leaving it and calling it bullshit virtue signalling is actually better.

Look at the statistics for the countries. It's not doing anything than green washing.

The other points is probably true and great. But the Paris agreement is pure trash.

• Damn. I was mistaken. Guess promises will solve the climate crisis. Not action.

But Biden ended up building the border wall? Also pushing loan forgiveness is neutralized by the fact that he restarted loan payments.

I can list dozens of other trump-era bullshit Biden maintained, but it's tiring.

I feel like I've been having this same conversation for a decade, after watching Obama demotivate the base by maintaining/expanding Bush's policies, while republicans and democrats insist that he actually implemented socialism.

The funny thing is that while Trump got constant media attention for personally saying and doing a lot of inappropriate things that past Republican presidents wouldn't have, he was actually a fairly normal Republican president in terms of the federal government's major policies during his term. I suppose he wasn't actually very interested in the unglamorous business of government and left it to other, less unconventional members of his party.
