@MapleEngineer Interesting that there is a Wikipedia article on it. I have a close relative who was an ER nurse in a deep red state when the pandemic hit. Lots of deniers, refused to mask up, infected all of the caregivers who were overwhelmed with the sick and the dead. They didn’t have enough beds or morgue space. So I have zero sympathy for people who put others at risk. There are a million dead, ironically many of them Trump voters. I give zero fucks for the antivaxers.
@southsamurai the liberalgunowners magazine on Kbin has unfortunately not been very active but there are indeed a shit ton of us out there and not fucking happy about being threatened
@Madison_rogue Yet another classless GOP crank. 100% guarantee that some time in the future we’ll be hearing more from this right wing backbencher
@Emu I'm over 60 and still have all my faculties, I can assure you. Thirty-plus years ago, it was hard for me to imagine what I would be like at 60 but its actually not different, at least from the life of the mind perspective. I think your position is ageist and is itself generational thinking. Nevertheless, I have favored term limits for many years, including when I was young. The 25th Amendment was enacted and ratified to address Presidential incapacity after President Wilson became mentally incapacitated and his wife took over the office when no one was legally able to remove him.
@euphoria That is my observation also. If we want to make Kbin an engaging community it’s incumbent on all of us to comment and post
@Heresy_generator m/liberalgunowners r/liberalgunowners we need to be prepared for round 2. Heritage Foundation and Trump’s shadow cabinet are already planning for the police state that will follow if Trump gets in and GOP states have been working for years to cut out opposition voting.
@Col3814444 The Plains was such a nice town. Now the Trumpist family moved in. All I needed to read is that the new neighbors had a family pic taken at the Capitol on J6. So they are rat bastard traitors stirring up trouble.
@Col3814444 Using Trump’s playbook, except organized rather than stochastic. Pure fascism to create this private paramilitary force. He’s been working on this for a long time.
@MiscreantMouse This is why I’m of the opinion that defederating from anything that smacks of Meta or Threads should be done immediately. Zsuck supports Russian bots, Alt-right Insurrectionists and hate speech and has done so since 2015, in other words, longer than Elon. Should be walled off and removed like a cancerous tumor. In my view, that should include any instance that signed an NDA with them.
I saw a survey of instances that indicated many are taking a “wait and see” approach, which is mystifying. What do people think they are find that they don’t already know about Meta?
@Maajmaaj I think you're right. Stay sober though. check out reddit r/liberalgunowners there is a huge amount of information for those thinking about becoming armed.
