America has always rejected fanaticism, especially since WWII. We are supposed to be E pluribus unum – out of many, ONE. Now, the right wants America to be E unum pluribus – out of ONE, many.

Get out of here with your “both sides” garbage.
I’ve never had someone left of center tell me a whole group of people deserve to be locked up or killed. I had a right wing nut tell me just yesterday that all lgbtq folk are complicit in rape and pedophilia and deserve to be hanged. Sadly, that’s not even close to the only time someone has said that to me.
Both sides might be part of the problem here, but only one side is off their fucking rockers.
Nah. Both sides are off their rockers. Absolute fucking nutters. One’s just more violent. But neither can be trusted with any kind of control over others.
🙄 “Both sides”
Vote 3rd party and shut up then. I’m tired of hearing about how both parties are “equally bad”
The fact is that things tend to change for the better under democrats, albeit slowly. Republican judges just today gutted a long standing regulatory precedent that’s going to pave the way for capitalists to bleed Americans dry.
One party is luke warm. The other one is actively and progressively destroying our nation. I won’t entertain the idea that they are even close to the same.
The debt is going to come calling, and I’m sure you’ll blame Republicans, and I’m sure they’ll blame you.
Perhaps I’ll have my place self-sustaining by then, perhaps not. But I’ll be sure to keep plenty of popcorn stocked.
The debt will never come calling if calling on the debt means destabilizing the world economy. I’m sure you’d like to see that, but virtually every single player in that debt doesn’t.
So take your cryptic misinformation and go hide in a cabin in the woods. Meanwhile, the adults who understand that shit doesn’t get done by itself will be picking up the mess that political pacifists like you leave when you cower behind the notion that both sides are the same.
Telling me I’d like to watch it all burn, and then calling me a political pacifist in the next breath? Come on, now, you can do better.
The debt isn’t an abstract thing that can be unilaterally printed away. It has real-world consequences, real-world resources that can’t be ignored, and that the US isn’t even in a position to come out on top of once it comes calling.
I’m glad you’re fighting that political fight. It keeps you occupied, and keeps them occupied. Like a pair of dysfunctional lovers, you deserve each other. I’m watching, and I’m learning. I know how to take advantage of the mistakes you make, and ones they make, and use them to my own personal advantage, as well as to the advantage of other moderate folks that I’m perfectly willing to give business preference to, and reach out for, and go the extra mile for.
…just… …keep fighting, bud. It’ll end soon enough. …and certainly, you will win. Perhaps not like you think, though.
Wow, I don’t think I’ve seen an edgier comment on the whole of lemmy.
You sound like you’ve got a lot to lose.
Yeah. You’re actively expressing both of those views at the same time by thinking yourself higher than the society you live in.
Anyway, the debt isn’t a tangible thing like you seem to think. And you clearly have no idea what you’re talking about, and I won’t take on the responsibility of teaching you how to use a search engine, so I guess this is where the edgy comment chain ends.
Have fun in your cabin in the woods, brother. The rest of us understand what it means to live in a functional society. It’s not worth engaging any further with someone as far gone as you are ✌️
Enjoy your battle.
