    We’re watching it in real time, right here, daily

    But to call out the obvious here will get you banned

      The problem is that accusing people of being trolls/paid actors is also a troll/paid actor tactic. Banning that behavior limits the propagandists, and still allows you to report them.

        then lemmy.world has a very sizeable troll/paid actor population

          I mean, that’s not wrong, but what I was getting at is that trolls specifically try to deflect by preemptively claiming others are trolls, so when they’re accused of trolling, it looks like he-said-she-said.

          Take that tool away from them by reporting them instead of responding. Or in other words… Don’t feed the trolls.

    “For Trump’s Ear” they wrote on their bombs this morning.

    I’m not a Trump supported or anything but that picture of him pumping the air with blood on his face is pretty badass. It can’t be hard to spin that one, especially compared to Biden who runs out of breath finishing a sentence.

      It also makes me think the whole thing was fucking staged.

      Private bone spurs, who compared sex parties to being in Vietnam, gets shot in the ear and is suddenly this big manly man who raises his fist in defiance? Right, and I’m the fucking Queen of England.

      Trump has a direct quote about people who get shot being losers as a dig at deceased veterans but somehow has a veteran who called him Hitler as a running mate. He is a convicted felon representing the Law and Order party and is endorsed by police unions.

      At this point American politics makes zero sense to me. I’m just holding my breathe and hoping defending our border won’t be necessary in a year

      For me, the coolness of “fight!” fist pump was completely ruined by him first making sure that he had his high heel shoes on.
