- Comment on Trump pledges to scrap offshore wind projects on ‘day one’ of presidency 1 month ago:
America is a very individualist country to my eyes. People see taxes as paying for someone else’s healthcare or homeless shelter rather than paying for the things that everyone needs. There are only 2 sides in the election. Most people can’t ever see themselves switching sides, it’s a big change in thinking for a lot of topics. Hell the vote is usually decided by the turnout rather than people being convinced to switch sides. Trumps followers want him to hurt who they perceive as “their enemy”, i.e. Democrats (and non whites ssshhhh). And in fairness he does and they are happy that he does. They don’t envisage themselves ever in the group that he is attacking so whatever he’s gonna do to them is fine. They do sometimes end up in that group though:

Why wouldn’t they trust him? It’s a bit like that Maya Angelou quote: when people show you who they are believe them first time.
Thing is his supporters believe him because it’s what they want. They trust him. Staunch critics believe him because it’s what they fear, they trust he’ll do terrible things. Those that don’t yet believe him are naive or deluded thinking it’s just as bad to vote for Biden. I don’t understand these people.

The consent-o-matic add on allows you to autofil the cookie response and when it doesn’t work you can report it. The ad on is also funded by the EU somehow, can’t remember exactly how. If the add on doesn’t work it means their site is not asking the question correctly.

- Comment on Bike Riders of lemmy, you okay with me riding my eScooter in the bike lane? 8 months ago:
Why? Because the gas ones will actively ruin the bike path. They are much heavier and will cause much quicker wear and tear. Of course you also shouldn’t have to breathe the fumes from them.
