Wow. When I saw the article I figured it would be bad, but that’s even worse than I expected lol
What is it with these idiots trying to re-brand racism and reinvent phrenology every few decades? Are they stupid enough to believe they’re the first to think of shit like this, or are they hoping we’re dumb enough to fall for it this time around?
I mean, there was a group called Jews for Hitler, so…
But in all seriousness, there’s many reasons why.
Indian people for example are, sadly, a bit racist and very, very classist, and the higher-caste Indians kissing Trump’s ass think they’re in the same category as ‘white’ people.
Most Mexicans, on the other hand, were straight-up lied to. Many don’t speak English very well, and the Spanish-speaking news stations did some very liberal editing on their translations of Trump’s speeches, to make him sound coherent and sane. Seriously, if you speak Spanish check out the translations of his speeches; it’s not even remotely close to reality.
Former Cubans generally see anything called ‘communism’ as bad, and that’s how the Right has painted the Dems for a while now (never mind anyone with a brain could see that they’re nothing of the sort). A lot of them also really, really hate illegal immigrants, and so anyone who promises to get rid of them gets the Cuban vote.
Trump’s approval still is around 40%. These people will all blame democrats and will continue to vote republican.
Man, when Berry Goldwater thinks that’s a problem…
I distrust those people who know so well what God wants them to do because I notice it always coincides with their own desires.

I mean, I understand it. I think it’s stupid, but I understand it.
They believe Good is something you are, not something you do. So anything they do is Good, because they’re Good. If a Bad Person does the same thing, say, running up debt; they did something Bad, because Bad People only do Bad things.
Before their media blitz campaign, Hormel’s Spam was eaten in perhaps 20% of households; after the campaign it was closer to 70%.
Ads do work, if you do them right. People go for what they’ve heard of over what they haven’t.
Huh. Isn’t that the Sin of Greed then? Seems even if there had been a rapture they self-selected out.
Yeah, after I heard, I went to find the close-up video, because I swear these right-wing assholes are better at surviving injuries than planarians.
After seeing the video, though, it was obvious he didn’t survive. That made me feel much better.
Ahh, the ol’ ‘nothing to hide’ defense.
Ever consider things that are labeled as ‘crimes’ can and will be anything the people in power want?
Just because, say, calling Republicans ‘shithead pedophiles’ on Lemmy isn’t illegal now doesn’t mean Cheeto Mussolini won’t make it illegal tomorrow.
What’s the difference between a million dollars and a billion dollars?
Answer: roughly a billion dollars.
Being a million-dollar company means nothing against a company where a million dollars can count as little more than a rounding error.
If you ask, they’ll tell you it’s different for ‘essential services’. It’s the same excuse they use for the farm handouts.
And where in my previous post did I call you stupid?
You speak of mental health days in a derogatory way, as if you find the very idea that people should take care of their mental as well as physical health offensive, for reasons I don’t understand.
I’m saying that your mocking statement about taking days off for such things should in fact be something we do, and something we should find acceptable to do.
I absolutely guarantee you one of those things is not like the others. Period pain can be truly debilitating, especially for a person with endometriosis. It is totally worth time off.
Also, I find your insinuation that women take time off for ‘low mood’ and ‘being irritable’ frequently—as opposed to men—rather sexist and offensive, not to mention not reflective of reality.
However, I do like how you inadvertently stumbled into the idea that we should all have more sick days and mental health should be included in the definition of ‘health’. Taking time off for a mental ‘breather’ should be normalized in our society. I also think higher-mental-stress jobs like 911 dispatcher should get more mental health off-time.
A third do.
Another third ignores it because their favorite tv show is on, and hey, they’re white and nothing’s happened to them yet, so obviously everything is fine and those protesters are just overreacting.
And the final third looks at it and thinks ‘That’s my dictator! Attaboy!’
I’ve been to places that don’t take check or cash anymore though.

Oh fuck all the way off.
As a fellow American, we really don’t need any help looking bad at the moment, so you can stop now.
