Guess we'll all just collectively forget about this now that's he's the Republican nominee again ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Now that he's a position to do it again, lets all rush to restore his accounts! Brilliant!
Corps want a fascist leading the country.
It's all about the short-term gains.
I mean the three year ban seems like they didn’t forget.
So three years is the proper amount for an unrepentant failed coup, insurrection and inciting murder? You are just an absolute ding dong and you have boot polish all around your mouth.
A “coubilee,” if you will.
Fun Fact: That's 4 times longer than the prison term Hitler got for his first coup attempt.
Business is gonna business, juat don’t use Facebook idiot.
Comments like these make me seriously want to leave Lemmy. Some people here are just foaming at the mouth to attack anyone who doesn't conform exactly to their rhetoric, as opposed to just having a normal discussion.
Insulting that previous poster and calling him a bootlicker diminishes and undermines your actual point. I hate Trump and his actions as much as anyone here, but we gotta be better than this and not polarize everything on our side.
Then go.
"I hate Trump and his actions as much as anyone here, but..."
Of course, this is the traditional phrasing used by us fellow legitimate, absolutely genuine, haters of fascism and their associated ideals - We just can't stop qualifying it, we can't help ourselves...
"Women should have equal rights, but..."
*"Love who you love, marry who you want, but..."
"I'm definitely not racist, but..."
"I support a person's right to choose what they do with their pregnancy, but..."
"The Nazis were out of line, but..."
"UH, SEE... Now look what YOU made me do!!!"
Will anyone else in this thread commit to stepping up and adding absolutely nothing to this conversation, in this person's place, if they do leave Lemmy? Who's going to do their part?
That is an absolute misrepresentation of what I said. My only point is that we should be better than them, not legitimize them.
But I get it, it's easier to shit on slightly dissenting Lemmy users rather than take meaningful action.
Hey look buddy, I love taking meaningful action more than anyone, but...
It was an insurrection. He wants and was granted immunity for executing political opponents as an "official act." Three years time out?
Business is gonna business, just stop using Facebook.
