Do we really want that smarmy insufferable no talent shrew to be press secretary insider for 3.7 hours before being fired by a tangerine incel and his crooked brain V Chip?

"Flirty" is an inaccurate way to describe what and how he spoke about her. It was sexual harassment, live on stage.

But of course the Daily Mail would think that's how you flirt with people.

    I have no idea how Americans can stand being represented like this. It's one long continuous series of insults heaped upon injury.

    Imagine growing up raised by idiots. In a region where you're surrounded by idiots at all times. Then toss in constant propaganda on TVs everywhere you go. Then all the idiots around you telling you to download apps that only idiots use to repost propaganda fed to them by evil people who know they can manipulate you and your friends and family because you're all idiots.

    That's basically how we are where we are.

    Many of us can't and have been working hard to try and change it. Unfortunately, we didn't spend our money on enough guns and ammo to nuke a country and aren't backed by more wealth than the gdp of some nations.

    I dare say France has - once again - recently demonstrated that you don't necessarily need either of those things.

    And once again, comparing France to America is a dumb take ignoring major differences in basically everything about the countries.

    You know what? I agree. There really is no point in comparing the two.

    Right. Compare something more obvious so people can stop making the same dumb comparison.

    France vs Texas

    Metric France Texas Comparison
    Total Area ~551,500 km² ~695,662 km² Texas is 26% larger
    Population ~68.5 million ~31.7 million France has 2.2× more people
    Population Density ~124 people/km² ~45 people/km² France is 2.8× denser

    I was looking it up a couple days ago - in France if you lived in the furthest large city from Paris, Nice, it would take you 8.5 hours by car or 6 hours by public transit to get to Paris. You could get off work at 4p on Friday, swing by home and be to Paris by midnight, protest for a day and half, and then be home in time for dinner on Sunday. It'll cost $100-200 USD each way, and you can buy it as a single ticket.

    No let's look at Texas - The capital is Austin, which is more central North/South, and similarly offset east/west, aka it's slightly closer to the center of the landmass vs Paris. If you live in the furthest away large city, Amarillo, it is 8 hours by car or 19 hours by public transit. A city bus to the transit station, then 3 different city to city buses to get to Austin. The cost is $200-250 each way. By the time you get to Austin, you need to call your boss and let them know you won't be in on Monday, and that's if you turn around and leave immediately.

    America is Fucked.

  • France is not the US. The US frequently kills protestors, even peaceful ones, and has literally bombed entire city blocks in the past. That's not to mention the vast legal, demographic, and geographic differences.

    The US government is depraved. It is not comparable to France.

    Half of us are raging, there's a small core of MAGA faithful, a larger core of "at least this is better than Democrats", and the rest are hopelessly ignorant of current affairs. I'd bet there's one dude on my entire block that's aware of this story.

    Some of these comments are bordering just as mysoginist as trump, just with different politics. Way to go, Lemmy.

    Lemmy does have a serious misogynist problem. It's a male dominated space with a lot of users from other, already misogynistic places, which creates a heavy concentration of it.

    A lot of the misogyny isn't acted upon, either, because mods and admins here sometimes share the same views. It's no wonder women don't feel comfortable here. The few that do stay, such as Velma, have to constantly battle misogyny. It's fucking gross.

    When someone posts Daily Mail, it's worth reminding that regardless of the truth of the article, the source is absolute shit. They breathlessly report every little thing like it's the end of the world, and ignore the real issues. It's a distraction.

    Enjoy it if you want, but i'm going to protest its posting every time I see it.

    This isn't even the first time conservatives have elected a dumbfuck celebrity to the presidency. And we're 0 for 2 on fucking stopping them from doing it. This shithole needs to get its act together.

    Idiocracy isn't supposed to be an instruction manual, but apparently conservatives are already that fucking dumb and we're stuck in this car with them falling off the cliff.
