This is what happens when we let conservatives have any sort of power in society
I wonder how things are going in America today...

Gonna get downvoted, but conservative ideals should be present to some minor extent to balance things out. I don’t mean modern conservatives or Republicans, but the concept of fiscal conservatism (e.g. preventing waste in the military). I’m not talking about the fIsCaL cOnSeRvAtIsM that current Republicans preach either, like hollowing out social programs to give tax cuts to their buddies. So yeah that’s of course not what we have now, but there should be a healthy balance for that kind of thing.

Describing the good of the opinions that are more on the right side of the spectrum isn’t going to come across as good if you use conservatives to describe it.

The people who say this tend to forget that if you only take the “good things” from conservatism it ceases to be conservatism. The conservative ideology is garbage and only leads countries to a sort of destructive cannabalism.

The problem is that what you describe is not conservatism, it’s just basic competence in governance. It’s an impressive achievement of the radical right that they have managed to get people to conflate the two.

You won’t get downvoted. Ideally you’d have both parties suck it up and work together and combine ideologies. But… well you know… Babies

Hopefully it’s just Civil War II and not WWIII. The rest of the world doesn’t deserve to be dragged into our shit.
SHOW_ME_YOUR_ASSHOLE@lemm.ee 17 hours ago
Even if it was just contained to US soil we’d still call WWIII like we do with the World Series.
ivanafterall@lemmy.world 17 hours ago
Whether it’s because of us or fascism is just trending globally, the rest of the world is already thoroughly dragged into our shit. We’re not the only ones having this fight, we’re just the most-visible and possibly furthest-along outside of Russia, Turkmenistan, North Korea, etc.

It’s Civil War 2: Electric AI killing machine-aloo
IrateAnteater@sh.itjust.works 17 hours ago
It will be WWIII either way. A US civil war would leave a massive power vacuum, and a whole bunch of candidates trying to fill it.
ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 16 hours ago
… like I said WWIII while everyone tries to convince themselves that it isn’t WWIII

Bad. All the bad. Going very very bad in America today. But hey… at least tomorrow will be a lot worse.

In my country you need to be accused of being a communist in order to be arrested. Well sometimes there were no accusations just arrests, but at least we were an official dictatorship.
Signed: anywhere in South America in the 80s
Epiphany: are climate scientists a tool of communist hoaxes? Dang, you’re all getting arrested soon aren’t y’all

She turned out great when you consider she got her start as a nepobaby. Her dad was worth 3.6 billion USD in 2006.

That’s not balanced though
4 CH~3~NO~2~ + O~2~ → 4 CO + 6 H~2~O + 2 N~2~
also, why are we burning nitromethane?

I’m in Philly and I read local reports of I.C.E. Raids… 😖 (I’m a US Citizen, but I’m not white)
Just google “Philadelphia ICE Raid” and you’ll the what I’m talking about.
I saw some reports that some college kids at Temple University, are pretending to be ICE agents and harassing people, they got suspended (hopefully expelled). They are facing charges of impersonating the authorities. (probably getting a pardon by their nazi in chief)
