  Still, don’t conservative parties in the EU still believe in things like climate change, heathcare, workers rights, etc?

  Aren’t they more isolationist (pro Russian), against immigration (hard to blame them there), and anti checks and balances (fuck that)?

  The two party system.

  They built nonsensical coalitions to get votes, so people often find that their preferred party has positions they don’t like.

  Then the primary system encourages the most extreme candidates for either party.

  Then you have intentional amplification of the assholes like MTG.

  Then you create an artificial us versus them mentality where someone on the other side is pure evil. Obviously the GOP is far and away worse at this, but it’s across the spectrum.

  That is quite true as well. Lemmy gets Russian shills on Ukraine coverage worse than Reddit though. I don’t know if that would be tankies or Russian trolls.

  I’d argue that the safety assistance tech is very, very good and should continue.

  Fucking touch screens for HVAC and audio controls are a menace though. How do regulatory agencies allow this?

  Then there’s the fucking warning message not to look at your screen that starts every time I turn it on. 90% of the time I am not looking at the screen, so I don’t realize I have to click through their warning message until I’m already driving. All they achieved is distracting me and making me look away from the road.
