other MAGA strategies

  • demonize some minority (currently rotates between immigrants, blacks and lgbtq)

  • use religious brainwashing (e. g. forced birth)

  • blame the left, whether or not their policies work

  • claim to fix the economy by making policies that only benefit the rich

  • sell the country to Russia

  • sell the country to China

  • quote Hitler

  • copy Hitler (yes really)

  • create a fascist dictatorship (only for one day of course)

that's what I thought. he dodged the rape charge. if he was convicted of rape he would certainly have been sentenced, served time in prison, and be on the sex offender registry.

regardless, hopefully in a week we never have to think about him again

actually, i think they know they will never make 500k a year. they are voting for trump because he hates they people they do, and he validates their racist behavior.

they also believe some of the lies he sprouts about immigrants stealing their jobs and being a drain on the system.

I didn't follow as closely. was he convicted of rape? I know he was accused. given his track record im 100% sure he's guilty of everything. but I thought he managed to settle and weasel his way out so he's not officially convicted as a rapist...

[-] gi1242@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

fully agree. hope you don't have to move... but for some miraculous incomprehensible reason the race is a statistical tie

[-] gi1242@lemmy.world 22 points 2 days ago

sadly yes. there are people who are still on the fence. given that 70million people will look the other way and vote for him despite the lies, dementia, racism, Facism, Nazism, narcissism, sexism, felonies, fraud, racketeering, sexual harassment, etc. I'm not surprised a few million are on the fence.

[-] gi1242@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago

and the people that stand to lose the most because of him call him their God emperor and vote for him

iwriting reviews is time consuming, unpaid, and doesn't help the reviewers career. so it takes a while because reviewers are already busy and don't prioritize writing reviews too much.

quality of the reviews is questionable. 10% of the reviews are through and provide valuable feedback. the remaining 90% are cursory "yeah this is interesting, publish it" or "not interesting/outside scope".

very very few reviews find and report scientific errors

academic journals now only provide a service to authors. they used to distribute... but the articles are available free on the arxiv, pubmed, authors websites, etc. the peer review and typesetting journals do is a joke and no author will pay for that.

the value journals have now is mainly to the author, because the prestige of getting accepted by the journal helps with the authors career. publishers figured out that authors will pay for this, so here we are ... 🙄
