Native and African Americans have been telling you this for centuries. Welcome to the truth.

Somebody is paying attention.

If you are looking for self-centred, gullible people who think that the status quo is to their benefit go to your local church.

He has endorsed Trump for three elections running.

People did it with Obama too, he was “Barack” to some.

The US is a much more chauvinistic nation than many but it’s also by far and away the most violent nation in the industrialized world. The two are definitely linked.

Joe Rogan has the biggest podcast in the English speaking world. He has been consistently pro-Trump.

If you go to the States as a tourist the chances are that you will be just fine, it’s the living there that increasingly sucks.

Lemmy users have been repeating the same bullshit.

The pandemic wasn’t that long ago, that experience settled any debate as to how ill informed the average citizen is. Most of the people voting are actively working against their own interests. There is a minority who benefit from the bad policy, the majority inevitably suffer. That has been the state of affairs since (at least) the Reagan era.

We increasingly live in social silos, if you are not a Trumper you will not know about the frequency of the messaging or even its nature most of the time. Like it or not Trump’s words speak to the average American, his speeches align with the explicitly nationalistic, racist and generally hateful nonsense that most of them have been drip fed over the course of their lives via media, religion and education. It brings them a sense of comfort.

You grossly overestimate how intelligent/informed the average American voter is. I really don’t think they know what they’ve done, are doing or what is being done to them.

They are willing to kill you to maintain the status quo. If you are not willing to do the same then you have already lost.

I knew it was bad when the DNC started browbeating Black men. Meanwhile in the real world white and Latino voters are the ones who came out in support of Trump.

Smells like whitesplaining in here…

Genocide and theft are okay because everyone does it?

Tell me that you’re of European descent without telling me you’re of European descent.

You think those people actually read the Bible?

But they get to enjoy the benefits of the criminality of their forebears?

You cannot be leftwing and pro-monarchy.

Most of us need permission just to get our hands on cash.

Why would you not just shower afterwards?
