The GOP/Nazi party is where humanity goes to die. Good thing they are in an ever shrinking minority.

A minority that could cheat its way into governance in 2 years

The boomer remover aka Covid knocked a bunch of those out- disproportionately in red states.

Shrinking? They increased their seats in the house last election, and now control >50%.

The Republicans party is very much elderly people, uneducated people, and religious people.
The old people are dying, religion is on a steady decline.
The thing is that Republicans show up to vote because their bubble is largely fear driven politics.
They also have gerrymandering on their side, they limit polling places, they unconstitutionally use poll taxes that disproportionately affect minorities, they make voting harder by eliminating vote by mail… In short, they cheat like fuckin crazy and rile up their base to get out and vote.
I would not agree that they’re gonna disappear by 2028, but they are waning.
Globally, far right politicians are getting more votes.
GOP will be around for decades or more.

I think you grossly underestimate the sheer number of fucktards in this country.

Being a European, I am seeing extremists of both sides picking at each other.
No normal people left anymore?
CIA_chatbot@lemmy.world 1 year ago
The US doesn’t have a left wing party. We have a extreme right wing party, and a center right wing party. This both sides shit is stupid as fuck. “We want to ban gays” is extreme. “We want gay people to have rights” is not

I saw a comment on another post by a European explaining American politics to another European.
“Their left is our right, their right is our far right, and their far right are literal flag waving Nazis.”

I think it’s pretty normal to be against anyone who wants to violently overthrow my government.
cedarmesa@lemmy.world 1 year ago
You see the thing with that is that you are wrong
Neato@kbin.social 1 year ago
Name one left extremist in a position of power.
Go ahead, tell on yourself.
jmp242@sopuli.xyz 1 year ago
Yes, so far at least the Democrats seem to be far less tolerant of extremists in politics. Maybe that’s untrue - but they tend to not be violent or wanting to overthrow the system. Part of it is how you define extremists - I’m more tolerant of people who want to campaign and try to make most any change via the democratic process via voting no matter their position. I’m less interested in those who feel we should invade the capital to try and overrule the outcomes of elections or violently intimidate opponents.
IWantToFuckSpez@kbin.social 1 year ago
Lol did you just do a “BoTh siDes” which leftist extremist have actual political power in the US.
phillaholic@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Oh yes. Extreme Left Wing ideas like: Trans people deserve human rights, We should feed our children, We should forgive college loans to borrowers that are being burdened so heavily with debt they can’t start a family or buy homes (and the impact of it on the US Economy), Everyone has the right to vote. Wow…

You can always tell a disingenuous response with the both sides bullshit.
mojo@lemm.ee 1 year ago
They pretty much always respond with transphobic shit too
SirLukeJon@lemm.ee 1 year ago
It’s harder to see where the other side is coming from when you’re standing so far apart.
“Normal people,” or people anywhere in the middle of the two poles, who can see both sides still are generally pretty quiet now because they get attacked by one side for “sympathizing” with the other. I talk to both extremes daily in my line of work, and it’s exhausting to be respectful of either far-directional sentiment all day, every day
Redhotkurt@kbin.social 1 year ago
both sides
Only one side is banning books, man.
BarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.ee 1 year ago
I’m usually happy to hear an international perspective of us politics because it can be grounding. But you can’t “both sides” your way out of fascism. There is no far left institutional power in the us. Kindly keep your boot licking to yourself
DreamySweet@lemmy.sdf.org 1 year ago
Normal people get attacked by both sides until they learn to be quiet.
Yendor@reddthat.com 1 year ago
The far-left purity test alienates many mostly-left people.
You can be pro-choice, pro-women, all for supporting the poor, gay rights and trans rights - but if you dare suggest that maybe trans women shouldn’t be competing against born women in top-level sports, then the vocal left brand you as a transphobic TERF whose opinion isn’t even worth listening to. They would rather fight you over the 2% of things you disagree on, than embrace you for the 98% of values you have in common.
The vocal left want diversity in color, gender and sexuality - but they will not tolerate any diversity in thought or opinion.

both sides
Except “both sides” are right wing parties
AnonTwo@kbin.social 1 year ago
Odd, the topic is about a plan for 2025. It is not about two sides bickering at each other.
So weird you brought up a typical conservative argument without anything to prompt it.
ArghZombies@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I guess if you’re mostly happy with how something is then you’ve no reason to bring it up.
Nobody is writing long articles, posting tweets or appearing on TV shows to talk about it being quite nice that they can currently go and buy a beer from a shop. But someone could easily decide that they want to rile people up about the easiness of buying beer. And it all goes from there.
Sorchist@kbin.social 1 year ago
I mean we literally did that in the 1920s
overzeetop@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Lots of them, but normal doesn’t sell advertisements or make headlines. I see by the downvotes (or whatever Lemmy calls them) that you’ve been visited by the Reddit groupthink. It feels weird when it happens. Some of us just want everyone to get along…which feels radical in its own way.

GustavoM@lemmy.world 1 year ago
As someone who stood in front of some dude trying to force me to suck his dick (and I fucked off immediately) and getting back assaulted by randoms on the midschool (while dressed) yet I’m still an hetero, biological male…? What the heck is going on? Why on earth I’d start sucking dicks just because I saw some dude naked on screen? That’d be ridiculous, and a demonstration of a severe lack of wit and common sense. That is like, staring at my own cock would make me gay or something amongst those lines.
Stinkywinks@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Dumb af and would never happen. I’m sure the porn industry has enough money to buy off politicians.
speck@kbin.social 1 year ago
Or interesting information about them
InvaderDJ@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It is mind boggling to me that in the year 2023 we’re complaining about porn, LGBT existence, and fucking book content. Isn’t this what we were laughing at 20 years ago? About book burnings and how stupid the previous generations were for fearing and banning media that challenged them?
half_fiction@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
It’s easy to forget because of how quickly the cultural zeitgeist shifted when it finally did, but the early 2000s was still very homophobic. Watching pretty much any comedy from that era reminds you of just how common the punchline to jokes was just, “teehee they’re gay.”
valkyre09@lemmy.world 1 year ago
In the early 2000s it was exceptionally common to hear things referred to as “gay” if they were “bad” in some way. Chandler’s “Dad” in friends is one I look back on and shudder. I understand when boomers say things like “things were different back then, but our ability to reflect and do better is what moves our species forward. Not dig in and scream no!
VentraSqwal@links.dartboard.social 1 year ago
Yup been watching Scrubs and while a still funny show a lot of the time, there’s still a lot of jokes that make me cringe. I’m sure it’s like that for any show in that era.

History is cyclical if large chunks of the population refuse to acknowledge it.
carl_dungeon@lemmy.world 1 year ago
You should watch the documentary show about the duggars and how they’re part of a huge cult that systemically indoctrinates kids, fucks them, and gets them into politics. It’s disgusting. It’s and organized push or quiverfull fundamentalist shit being pushed into law.

The real impact of the 9/11 attacks: There is direct line from shock and confusion to nationalistic rhetoric and “'OOORAH!”- patriotism to the rise of the Tea Party, the growing influence of the Evangelicals up to the emergence of Trumpism and Qanon.
