They will quite literally lock up socialist political dissenters before they allow any sort of socialist foothold to take.

[–] Kurtismayfield@lemmy.zip 13 points 6 days ago (1 children)

How quaint that you think they will just lock them up.

"Ya know they murdered X and tried to blame it on Islam" "You know they went after King when he spoke out on Vietnam"

No, actually they got rid of King after he started speaking about socialist/redistribution policies.

Save the Republic from what, Mike?

Fulfilling our moral obligations to one another as Americans? Our duty to the sick, to the elderly, to the poor, as commanded by your God? Honoring the sacrifices of our soldiers by actually living up to the Constitution?

I don’t ever hear why the left leaning policies are bad, just that they are & should be hated. All I see is right leaning policies result in a reduction of liberties. What liberties would I be trading for left leaning policies? Which one isn’t a nanny state that tells me what I can and can’t do in situations that do not interfere with the liberty and health of another person? I’d prefer my tax dollars go to PSAs about good responsible parenting instead of having to prove my age to join a social media site. Parental control technology already exists. Tell people to use it.

This • 1000.

People gotta start getting Socratic about everything, but especially their news and politicians.

We've lost many critical thinkers in our time, with clickbait titles (many don't really read the articles), "talking points" instead of substantive conversations, and lack of reading good literature (which I believe help to spur creative thought and can lead people to question things more often).

Yeah! If anyone’s thinking of answering my questions, don’t. Ask your own. Separate opinions, facts, and feelings.

I love how upset they get about Mandani. His crime, not been corrupt. Oh, the horror.

Pedophile protector says what?

Who or what is this Republic these clowns are always talking about?

Other than the woman in Colorado and Mamdani, who else is there? I keep hearing about this wave of democratic socialists, but 2 people are not a trend.

When has Republican fear mongering literally ever been based in truth or reality?

This is one of the only benefits of Trump winning in 2024

And unintentional incentives to get off oil

It is indeed dangerous. For people like him, who see the writing on the wall that they will face consequences.

Lord Commander Johnson is a teensy tiny bit insecure methinks

I get it now

I get the "own the libs" thing

They've always been there, only now can they be seen.

One of the good side effects of the internet; the government has a much harder time controlling the narrative. Those socialists have always been there and fighting for higher minimum wage and unions since 1910 or so. Prior to internet, they were simply ignored for the most part. I'm not even a socialist, and would have never known about them if I wasn't involved in local politics. I do agree with some of their platform, though (pro-union, etc.)

Registered Independents are now the majority of voters for a reason (40%), the majority of voters no longer support the major parties.

Government control of media remains a huge problem... don't trust any one source, verify everything as much as possible.
