A lightweight news hub to help decentralize the fediverse load: mirror and discuss headlines here so the giant instance communities aren’t a single choke-point.
Rules:
"america is brimming with uneducated and mentally afflicted individuals"
It's disheartening that the other half thinks otherwise
That other 35% has been facebooked into believing everything the orange shithead says is true.
Other half is on drugs
Hey we can be on drugs and think he's a piece of shit.
Lets not be hurtful and drag drugs into this. The kind of stupid that believes him is a whole 'nother level of intoxication that requires no drugs
Its hate and desperately believing Trump/Republicans are "Santa"
I follow a devout Christian woman on Facebook who is tangentially acquainted to me, and she believes that Communist Muslims are dressing up as Verizon workers and planting bombs or something all over the country to cause a worse disaster than 9/11. This is being signal boosted by disgraced general Michael Flynn and conservative influencers.
Of course, it’s not real; so when it never happens they will just praise LORD and SAVIOR Donald Trump for stopping these evil Democrats.
Old people really cannot believe that anyone would just lie like that. They really just fall for whatever they’re told.
It needs to be illegal.
It’s hard to make a “you are required to be truthful” law without it being the sharpest double-edged sword possible. But I agree, there should be consequences. peepoSmile
Like they have a basically reactionary and anti-principl'd polar opppsite propoganda media environment that is insular and creating an anti-reality political over all hellscape thats radicalizing traumatized and deeply damaged and often deranged Volks.
Its literally Russian state media for America
Wait, which half is that
Yes, Trump still has at least 35% of Americans duped on every subject. We know.
These ones that say "half" are especially useless. Don't even bother publishing if it's less than 3/4 should be the rule. And, don't pay much attention if it's less than 85%, because we got here with only half, and nothing has changed with only 65%.
there are cities under siege, but sure, economy
You're not wrong but this is also very bad.
The fastest way to get someone to care about something is when it effects their pocketbook.
stock market is up because overvalued AI keeps buying overvalued AI from overvalued AI. once people realize it's all smoke and mirrors, govt will step in and bail out AI with YOUR tax moneys
You need to get a mortgage to buy a happy meal and half of America still thinks nothing has changed?
The other half voted for him. Nothing changed.
An alternate title would be half of americans feel the economy is better. 50% means nothing.
The country is the way it is because right at about half of it is rock stupid. A third of it is actually incapable of independent thought.
Not necessarily. There is likely a percentage that had no opinion or did not answer.
Polls. Another way to give up on journalism.
It's the half that still hopes it can become millionaires in their lifetimes
Hey anything is possible. Like, one day I might grow wings and be able to turn water into surge.
For not being in a pandemic, yeah, it's pretty bad. And getting worse.
This is what happens when you vote for the party that all data tracked over time proves is bad for our economy.
Or don't vote. Or vote for insert candidate that can't win. Since doing those things helps Republicans win.
