But anyone dumb enough to try this would start Civil War 2.0.

i lol’ed when i got to this line because you perfectly described the circumstances describing nixon’s resignation (excluding the execution).

as a queer brown man; i don’t want to be anywhere at all.

why 1949 and where?

fwiw: gay nightlife in san francisco was at its zenith in the 50’s & 60’s .

the san francisco we have today is a tiny dim more conservative ember of what it was back then.

difference they’re not on lemmy; they’re people to volunteered to work in a position where they have to deal with this behavior.

Let’s see how the strategy of ignoring calls from your base a year before a contested election that your opponent polls higher in key states works out for them. It feels like the DNC is trying to lose in 2024 right now.

the “vote for the lesser evil” crowd are an overwhelming majority and, they not only don’t care that dems don’t deserve your vote; but will use that overwhelming majority voice to blame you for enabling trump.

genx is the most trumpy of all the generations and millennials are now in their early 40’s; unless you’re genz or younger, i wouldn’t wait.

also living long enough to watch biden go from dunking on gays to get easy political points to being hailed as the most pro-gay president ever has convinced me that things change in ways that don’t make sense so i now expect that, as wealth transfers from boomers to their younger relatives, we’ll see fascist sentiments resurge due to newly wealthy people feeling like they need to do something to keep their new found wealth.

Do something that you can immediately enjoy and it’s sufficiently distracting for you to give you a moment to completely forget about it

The fediverse has so little content that it makes it hard to imagine anyone paying for something that gives you less content and participation than any unregistered lurker gets from something like reddit for free

We’re not stupid. We’re scared.

too scared. i very recently spent five years in austin and i learned that the 1) liberal texans are only liberal compared to other texans 2) they readily and easily shrug their shoulders in accepting defeat from institutions that they already know are racist, homophobic, sexist, and classicist and do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING else and 3) will fight and report you to the authorities from those same institutions if you try to do ANYTHING else; my favorite examples are of californians disabling driver-less taxis with traffic cones and new-mexicans pelting short term rentals with eggs and bologna, meanwhile liberal austinites will literally call the cops on you if do either of these (ask me how i know).

i bet he’s too smart to run; trump would have been better off if he hadn’t run; and we’d all be better off and biden hadn’t either.

and it’ll also explain why nothing will come of it too.

r/topsandbottoms and r/pecsandpecbouncing are the biggest subs that keep me on reddit.

that number sounds too low.

assuming that the last election was 50% and that 50% of voters are republicans; about 70 million people could support her like this.

My own back spasms were similar; but I’ve had them enough times that I’ve learned ways to manage the pain enough to finish a thought other than “ouch”

I’ve been able to reduce the frequency of occurrence by experimenting w my sleeping and exercise habits and learned that pregnancy pillows are worth their weight in gold for me; maybe they’ll help you?

If I’m going to spend all this money on living expenses I may as well do that somewhere better.

i did something similar between austin, texas and chicago, illinois. now my new place is 2x the size; w lots of amenities; costs less than texas; but most importantly, my new home isn’t descending into a conservative fascist hell hole while everyone just sits around and watches it happen while simultaneously ignoring the clear reasons why and how to help it. lol
