Maybe the amount of Democrats that see Canada as an enemy is lower than the amount of Republicans that don't see Canada as an enemy. It's hard to tell from that graph.

Additionally, the blue line seems to start ticking up around 2022. I don't remember if Trump was pushing anti Canada stuff back then, but if he wasn't, then it's probably due to something completely unrelated and possibly even reasonable.

Consider a devout Muslim person elected to congress who is not able to pray because they don't get time throughout the day to do it. As a result, they step down because their faith is important to them.

The "usual suspects" don't want Muslims in congress, so they claim that prayer breaks are unconstitutional, effectively blocking Muslims from any position in Congress, and weakening our democracy further.

It's another thing entirely if the "prayer breaks" were something they tried to force onto the rest of the country. That'd be the government trying to use its power to spread a particular religion, which is unconstitutional. But prayer breaks inside Congress are just an accessibility thing.

My new strategy is to block EVERY port except WireGuard. This doesn't work for things you want to host publicly ofc, like a website, but for most self host stuff I don't see anything better than that.

I hope those people who voted for Crawford ALSO signed Musk's stupid petition and got some money out of him.

Don't give that spineless fuck his participation award. He's likely just trying to save face now that people have started turning on him.

They love the filibuster.

I don't think that's a bad thing. I see it like adding a wheelchair ramp so handicapped congress people can enter the building on their own.

If someone wasn't able to become a congress person because it isn't "accessible" to their religion, that would be pretty bad for democracy (although tbh I wouldn't mind banning religious people from positions of power in general)

I remember there was an episode where someone pulls out an actual gun, meaning Pal World is probably more canon than people realize.

Stop believing anything Schumer says. He is pro whoever supports the most genocide against Palestinians. Democrats have supported it for a while, but Trump definitely wins that comparison by a landslide.

Trump does NOT want a government shutdown. He can't do much without a budget, and it will piss off voters. If he really wanted to shut it all down, he could have refused to sign the budget and forced a shutdown anyway.

Based on the pro Trump people in my life, I've seen two classes:

  • Those in denial and ignorant in general (don't really follow the news), who don't believe for example that Trump is deporting people without due process, and blatantly violating the law and constitution.

  • Those who are so sucked into the MAGA own-the-libs circle-jerk that even when presented with the facts and proof of Trump doing something blatantly illegal, will usually retort with something like "oh so when the Democrats do it it's okay, but now the Trump is doing it it's wrong??? You fucking communist!"

Both I believe are the result of being fed far right propaganda by YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, etc. It's the only explanation I have. These aren't random people I don't know. These are people I love and have known my whole life.

It hurts to see, and I don't see a way to help them that doesn't involve ruining those relationships. I avoid talking about politics around them because I know it's going to make me resent them, and I don't want that.

 

The mastodon and lemmy content I’m seeing feels like 90% of it comes from people who are:

  • ~30 years old or older

  • tech enthusiasts/workers

  • linux users

There’s nothing wrong with that particular demographic or anything, but it doesn’t feel like a win to me if the entire fediverse is just one big monoculture.

I wonder what it is that is keeping more diverse users away? Is picking a server/federation too complicated? Or is it that they don’t see any content that they like?

Thoughts?
