    I think that’s extremist talk. America isn’t full of fascists. That’s lemmy hyperbole because you all just click over and over on bad news.

    Lemmy is not even close to being a snapshot of the American public. Most people don’t even care enough about stuff like that to vote. Oh and you all hate them too.

    Lemmy is a bunch of doomscrollers waiting for, and hoping for, the end of the world. Most people in the real world are just going to work, having BBQ’s on the weekends, and mowing the lawn, and hanging out in parks with their kids on saturdays.

    In a few years, we’ll elect a Democrat president (even tho Lemmy wants people to believe elections will be outlawed! lolol), and nothing will change. People will still be going to work, bitching about their paycheck, and having BBQ’s on the weekends, and mowing the lawn, and hanging out in parks with their kids on saturdays.

    Then after that, we’ll get another Republican president. And nothing will change. People will still be going to work, bitching about their paycheck, and having BBQ’s on the weekends, and mowing the lawn, and hanging out in parks with their kids on saturdays.

    People like you have been saying the world was about to end for as long as I can remember. lol

    Feel free to stay angry and yell at the sky while typing manifestos on Lemmy. I’m going to hang out at the park by my house and enjoy life. :)

      This reads like someone who is privileged enough that they don’t have to worry about being abducted off the street by government men in masks, or have their healthcare restricted by religious fundamentalists, or their drivers license being stripped by the state for ideological reasons.

        Most of Lemmy is privileged enough that they don’t have to worry about abducted off the street by government men in masks, or have healthcare restricted by religious fundamentalists, or drivers license being stripped by the state for ideological reasons. So does that mean nothing said can be valid?

          No, because most people understand those are bad things that should be stopped, and there is one party in particular pushing that fascist shit.

            Which has nothing to do with the comment you directed towards me saying that I am privileged. You are privileged as well. You are living up to the articles title.

              You sure got me! Yeah. I fuckin’ hate fascists. Apparently that’s a controversial opinion with you.

                I think it’s fine to hate fascists. My point is that Lemmy thinks way too many people are fascists, just because they don’t agree with them. You all use the word too much. Just because someone doesn’t agree with you on something, doesn’t mean they are a fascist. You really need to look up the meaning and the history of that word.

                The fact that you all think that America is fascist or that every single republican is a fascist is hilarious to me. I’m not even republican, but you guys are way too over the top on this.

                Keep praying for that revolution. Because it ain’t gonna happen.

                The fact that you don’t get that, sorta proves my point. But hey, you do you. I don’t hate you :)

                  And I don’t give half a fuck what you think.

                  Where did I say every single Republican is a fascist? But you know what? A whole lot of them are, or don’t care enough to be against it. You’ve said nothing of substance and misrepresented every person you’ve talked to in this thread; why would I care about your vapid opinion?

                  That was rhetorical. I’m not going to be responding.

      Lol okay bud. Polling shows at least 30% of Americans support what’s happening, but I’m sure your gut is a better barometer.

      Enjoy smugly shoving your head in the sand, it doesn’t make you as enlightened as you seem to think it does. You just sound naive.

        Ok, so if we go by your logic, then 70% are concerned and will do something about it. Right? So how come no revolution yet?

        Lemmy also said that after the Luigi thing happened that there was gonna be a big change. Execs were gonna go down. People were gonna eat the rich. People just weren’t going to put up with it anymore!!! The revolution was about to star!! lolol

        So what changed? Where is that revolution?

        Bruh, most people don’t care. And most aren’t as angry as Lemmy is about it. That’s just a fact. Lemmy is an extremist echo chamber and it is quickly forgetting that not everyone agrees with them. That doesn’t mean you have to hate people tho.

        Enjoy smugly shoving your head in the sand, it doesn’t make you as enlightened as you seem to think it does. You just sound naive.

        k! :)

            How many people were there compared to the population of the US? Dude, it was less that 2 percent of the entire U.S. population. 2 percent! lol That means that 98 percent of the population had nothing to do with that protest.

            I bet not even the majority of Lemmy showed up for those protests! lolololol

            What was accomplished? What changed? What policies changed? Everyone in power then, is in power now.

            Nothing changed. That’s not to say I’m against protests; I think protesting is awesome. But to think that everyone is on board with Lemmy’s ideas is maximum cope. Lemmy is full of people that are too extreme and too nerdy for reddit. Think about that. lol

            Hope your day gets better, tho. We can agree to disagree. All is good!
