I’m kind of out of the loop on the more intricate roles of the heritage foundation, but what benefit is it to them to destroy the US economy or US as a whole?

So a glorified tablet?

Dude liberals can’t even comprehend that most Christians are on their side.

Other than the black Panthers ain’t nobody already with guns doing anything right now.

In this economy?

I don’t mind other opinions. I don’t mind different points of view. I don’t mind culture and mentality differences. I’m Ukrainian living in America so the views I have, while leaning heavily left, differ to the point of leftists vehemently opposing even the slightest push back to some policies or views.

For this reason I never delete my comments and never block anyone. I need to see more. I need to see the different people and cultures. Otherwise we set up a community like parts of Seattle (where I live) that is in this political bubble that get shocked when anyone has views that differ. It creates this perspective that these other people don’t exist and that the world was stolen from them. And the reason they can’t comprehend other views is because they’re involved in communities where these views get erased.

Yeah I’m turned off from interacting. I got banned (I’m guessing since I can’t even reply to people) from world news when Maduro was kidnapped and I mentioned that my Venezuelan friends were hopeful. As this was scary but good news. And my god how I got flamed. Theres no room for conversation I got tagged, replied to, people made fun of me and that’s it. I wasn’t even allowed to interact anymore so it looks like I just said something and ran away.

I’m not even close to center, yet it’s all or nothing with politics here. It’s seriously become reddit 2.0. Pathetic.

Why is it so hard to believe people have friends in other countries?

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Or something like that. Trump is no one’s friend. But neither is Maduro.

It’s a little different since American democracy is supposed to be a lot more stable than Venezuela. But if the election was clearly stolen (imagine trump running for a 3rd term), and then he was removed by another country after deliberations with the opposing leadership here, then yeah kinda. It’d be terrifying. But the guy who stole our country’s leadership, the one running and ruining our lives has been removed. What comes after, what deals were made with the devil, that’s all terrifying. And the people in Venezuela are holding their breath.

You’re wrong on that. I haven’t heard any Venezuelan claim Maduro was elected. He cemented his seat in power after the last election where he clearly lost. So stop making things up for your own optics.

Yeah I guess. It’s kids confusing what’s happening there. They’re being given so much information. Whether right or wrong.

Be careful, apparently I got banned from lemmy.ml for mentioning that the friends I have living in Venezuela see Maduro and “his goons” gone (his words) as great news. The future though is not bright and the people are still very sceptical of Trumps motives. Obviously for us here in the US the writing is on the wall for anyone who’s lived through Iraq.

This is the equivalent of letting homelander kill the mafia boss in your town. Unfortunately he’s not leaving soon and will cause a lot more damage before this is all done.

What? I’m not ok with any of this I’m remarking on the fact that people in Venezuela are celebrating. There are more people in this world than us you know.

I hate Trump. But I have a friend in Venezuela. It’s been hell for him and his family the last couple years. Maduro and his “elites” controlled the country and caused massive poverty to its citizens. This is the best news of hope he can’t stop talking about. Maybe it’s reading it on the news that gives us our biased opinions but for someone who is living there in the hell caused by Maduro and his group this is the best news you can imagine.

I was wondering why tiktok algorithm starting spewing tons of self proclaimed journalists confronting Somali daycare centers proving some kind of fraud. Felt very propagandish

And he would try even though pennies are just zinc coated in copper.

My friend, you don’t know me or my participation. The corporate democratic party is not the ally you wish it to be. I’ll be voting blue while we are only presented this false dichotomy of a system, but only because it’ll decay our system slower.

I’m trying to tell you there’s no slow process change out of this administration. Neither party cares for the people at large and neither will give up power without revolutionary thinking. Even if a Biden like presidency and administration runs for the next 12 years the American people will not be better off. And unfortunately the alternative that is needed for the people isn’t one that has a foot in the door to even start the slow process rolling. Look at Mamdani. The backlash is heavy and he hasn’t even started.
