Well, I guess you better hurry up and become those things.

That could have happened in specific states anytime in the last 2.5 years. That’s not specific to the next four years.

Gottem

O, to be so unrealistically terrified. Filled with misery and woe.

Nothing will happen. We’ll all get up in the morning, maybe eat some breakfast, go to work, come home, play with the kids, eat some dinner, may shag your wife/husband, go to bed. Repeat. I can’t wait for four years to fly and be just as boring as the last four years.

You can have mental problems while also being an asshole.

“Opposed”

Sure.

I keep forgetting Lemmy is ok with millionaires all of a sudden.

You actually give your hard earned money to a millionaire? I’d rather burn it.

Some people are content to simply mind their own business. Not everyone is interested in the current controversy.

I’m an early gen Y. I knew maybe 4 people who had a cell phone, and only one of them could record a 30 second, shitty quality video. Kinda glad phones weren’t in constant use when I was in school.

No, we’re not. It’s not a coincidence that soon after occupy wallstreet the culture war was cranked up to 11. Gotta give the wealthy and the media credit. They have successfully, and quite easily turned the plebs against each other.

Just curious, why were wanting to replace Mullvad?

I do sub to whatever instances I want. And sometimes I go to All. It’s called an observation. It’s ok when people say things you disagree with.

That said I would like to see more diverse opinions and sources on my Lemmy feed though. There has to be a base somewhere that isn’t literal nazis but isn’t open socialists either.

Please, this. Lemmy is boring as all hell. 95%+ of users have the same opinions. It’s a giant echo chamber.

You tell 'em, best friend.

You people always make the same excuses.

“No! It’s not the people I align with who are violent! It’s the paid actors! No, it’s the Feds!”

You have absolutely no evidence that all of the violence is being committed by “zionist infiltrators”.

I read three independent articles on the subject, including the one from last year, I don’t need to read a fourth.

I find it interesting you admit something is difficult to prove, yet feel perfectly comfortable making accusations on the subject. I’ll stick to the facts, thanks, and leave my bias out of it.

We don’t need something to “sound like rape”. If he was guilty of it, meaning there was sufficient evidence, in the jury’s opinion, the jury would have found him guilty of it. I’m sure they weren’t looking to do him any favors. Obviously the defense failed to prove their case relative to rape.

Now, did he do it? Probably. He’s a career criminal. But the line has to be drawn somewhere, and for me, if you’re found guilty of it, be it a criminal court room, or a civil one, that’s when I can safely say a person is what they’ve been found guilty of being.

Take emotions and opinions out of it, and just stick to the facts. He’s guilty in a civil case of defamation and sexual abuse.

Jury. A jury in 2023 found him liable for sexual abuse/defamation where Carol was awarded $5 million.

The verdict was split: Jurors rejected Carroll’s claim that she was raped, finding Trump responsible for a lesser degree of sexual abuse.

This year, another jury awarded her an additional $83 million for defamation.

I read three articles, and watched an NBC video, not one of them stated he was found liable for rape.

Simply believing a thing is true will not protect you from a defamation suit. You have to know he is, not just believe it. I suppose this varies from country to country.

I’m not obsessed with Donald Trump like most people seem to be, so I don’t follow his news much. I don’t have good reason to believe he’s a rapist, and prefer to wait until he’s convicted in a court of law, and would hope others would give me the same benefit of the doubt.
