lemmy or the chart?
IRL trust fund pretend progressives match up with a lot of lemmy talking points.
but most normal working middle class people i know, are far more moderate and way less angry. because they are mostly focused on problems in their own lives and don't have time for agonizing about federal politics of the issues in other states that don't impact them. they are mostly interested in good economic policy, education, infrastructure, and corruption in their local/state politics because that is what impacts their day to day life.
the hot topics here, like palestine, trans rights, war in iran, are not something they really think about because it has nothing to do with them and is very abstract and distance from them. all the really know about this stuff is that weirdo angry people shout about it a lot on the TV/radio, and they think it's annoying and pointless because it has nothing to do with anything in their life and they are angry that all this nonsense is being shoved down their throats when they just want better schools and roads and job opportunities.
Notably, none of those things are on the chart.
Lemmy for sure. I feel like a lot of my friends are passionate about trans issues because they are trans, but most people I know generally have a pretty negative sentiment about the war on Iran. Oh and they all love to talk about the Epstein files.
A lot of my coworkers even have a soft spot for Linux. And it feels like half the people in my life are autistic, have ADHD, or both.
They want better schools and roads while voting down every millage because 'my taxes' and voting for people that are actively working to destroy public education.
Makes sense.
