Comment on Senate Republican leader defends Musk’s efforts as a ‘scrub’ of federal government

so you think every fucking democrat on Lemmy is some political Philosophy input and is as fucking nerdy about politics as you are?

No, but most people who vote care about at least some policies that affect their lives. You’ve spent this entire conversation dodging every policy point while openly declaring vote purely based on spite. Huge difference.

You insist that everyone has to be at your level of intelligence or they are not worth anything.

Never said that. I said policy matters more than tribal politics. You’re the one who keeps bringing up intelligence, which is telling. Nobody said you need a PHD level understanding of politics, just reading up on the policies themselves should not be that huge of an ask.

I’m not angry at all. I’m having a fucking great time.

Your all-caps rants, excessive swearing, and “I will never ever ever EVER vote for a Democrat” suggest otherwise. People having a great time don’t usually type like they’re screaming or have to constantly say “I’m not mad” who are you trying to convince?

Guess Lemmy shouldn’t be so quick to do jerky things like turn conservative communities into meme communites that make fun of conservatives.

You’re still hung up on a meme community while openly supporting politicians who are actively stripping rights from marginalized people. One of these things is not like the other.

Rather than just wait/ask that a good conservative mod comes, you decide to mock conservatives.

There’s a difference between mocking harmful ideas and mocking people. Conservative policies have real, harmful impacts on vulnerable communities. That deserves criticism, and memes are a form of criticism.

I would rather watch the world burn down and start from sticks and stones.

And there it is again. You claim you “have no desire to hurt people” then immediately say you’d rather see the world burn than vote for someone who might help others. The contradiction is stunning.

Nope. lol

Not hung up on it all. It’s just that it shows how much you aren’t to be taken seriously–you are just anti-republican, regardless of policy. You don’t take me seriously and I certainly don’t take you seriously.

There’s a difference between mocking harmful ideas and mocking people.

And you actually mock people.

Conservative policies have real, harmful impacts on vulnerable communities.

In your opinion. But you didn’t win the election, so not everyone agrees with you.

You lost. That’s it. Lemmy’s opinion isn’t shared by the majority of the public. You keep posting jokes, and I’ll keep posting articles. Let’s see which party wins the next election.

  Great counterargument. Very convincing.
  
  Not hung up on it all. It’s just that it shows how much you aren’t to be taken seriously–you are just anti-republican, regardless of policy.
  
  I’ve repeatedly tried to discuss specific policies throughout this entire conversation. You’re the one who admitted “I don’t give a fuck” about policy and just “like Trump.” The projection is astounding.
  
  And you actually mock people.
  
  Says the person who’s spent this entire thread mocking “Lemmy jerks” and celebrating others’ suffering.
  
  In your opinion. But you didn’t win the election, so not everyone agrees with you.
  
  Electoral victory doesn’t determine objective reality. Policies that remove healthcare, cut food assistance, and target marginalized groups cause measurable harm regardless of how many people voted for them. That’s not opinion its documented fact.
  
  Which means that you have no intention on letting conservative voices be heard.
  
  Conservative voices are heard everywhere Faux News, OAN, Congress, the White House, the Supreme Court, Truth Social. The idea that conservatives are being silenced while controlling most levels of government is absurd victimhood.
  
  So following your logic, there is no Lemmy rule that I have to defend every news article I post.
  
  Post whatever you want. Just don’t be surprised when people call out misinformation or propaganda.
  
  You lost. That’s it. Lemmy’s opinion isn’t shared by the majority of the public.
  
  You keep coming back to “you lost” like it’s some devastating gotcha. Electoral outcomes don’t determine moral rightness. Segregation was once popular to.
  
  You keep posting jokes, and I’ll keep posting articles. Let’s see which party wins the next election.
  
  And there it is you’ve reduced politics to a team sport (yet again) where “winning” matters more than the actual impact on people’s lives

    celebrating others’ suffering.
    
    When have I ever celebated “suffering”?
    
    Electoral outcomes don’t determine moral rightness
    
    But it’s your OPINION. Some don’t agree with you and they have their own moral rightness.
    
    Like I said, you gone and keep posting your memes. I’ll keep posting links to news articles. And we’ll see who wins next election.
