It unfortunately also not a thing in real life. Tried to convince my mother’s partner that transphobia and homophobia is bad. Best I could do is to him admit it was not about “protecting the children”.

Just the usual right-libertarian brainrot. You either become increasingly more authoritarian, a boring liberal, or a leftist, since right-libertarianism cannot defend itself against fascism.

He’s just like me FOR REAL!

She will enact anarcho-autism.

Allegedly he’s some Mexican bootleg version of Tate.

Because they want to replace them with more corporate-controlled languages.

Just add @safe: after your module declaration, and you’ll be safe by default if you don’t want to wait until D3.

Also, unlike in Rust, you can opt-out from RAII with int foo = void;, although it primarily has a performance advantage with arrays, not singleton variables (might be also useful for aquiring an RNG seed in a dumb way).

“Liberal” can mean centrism, capitalism with a human face, capitalism with some socially progressive elements, etc.

“Leftist” can be anything from “liberal” (as the far-right likes to pretend left=evil), to any form of actual leftism, which also can range from libertarians to authoritarians, with the latter sometimes weirdly being pushed a lot by the right (Fidesz, the Hungarian far-right party masquerading as “moderate, center-right, christian democrats”, have paid off the election debts of Munkáspárt 2006, and now they’re one of their satellites).

1. A lot of them abstained due to the dems failing to do anything on the state level.
2. A lot of them who voted just thought the Project 2025 was there to make the libs cry, and no human would be evil enough to execute them all.

Also a lot of Trump voters in the swing states are already regretting, if it continues, it can very well lead to a civil war, especially if Project 2025 will be executed. Who knows, maybe even the military will have issues with it.

Also get ready of net neutrality disappearing, and you’ll have sites blocked just because of ISPs not liking them.

In a nutshell: If they hit one side of your face, turn the other cheek. Repeat it until both your face fucking hurts and they think it’s violent of you instead not kneeling down, not spreading your arms wide open, not putting your tongue between your teeth, not lifting your chin, so they could just kick your chin while holding you down, until you eventually bite off your tongue. Maybe after that, they will have remorse and not continue kicking you to death on the ground.

They already have “violent vigilante rhetoric”. They send bomb threats to anyone remotely pro-LGBTQ+, because some Jewish collaborant told them they’re grooming kids by their mere existence. The moral high ground won’t save any of us.

You know one of the reasons why they’re calling us “cucks”? Because we will take the moral high ground every time they hit a new low, including on positions we have never really hold. Remember all the “why are you so intolerant of intolerance?” posts? That caused many of us to just go full out tolerant of nazis, to not appear “anti free speech”, which for them means “free from criticism and with a guaranteed audience”, not “free expression until you don’t hurt others”. Hell, at the end days of my “nihilistic edgelord” phase, if I wanted to joke about Stalin alongside of Hitler, I got called out on the former, because the latter “only killed 600 000 (!) people”. (A number from a then common and dumb holocaust denialist theory of “they accidentally put one extra zero there”)

Do you want 8 years of Vance in the next round?

Because that’s how you get 8 years of Vance.

Your opponents don’t care about bias.

Some people are trying their best to avoid politics outside of election season, and a lot of them are taking them in good faith.

When I first voted for Fidesz in 2009 and 2010, I didn’t know about the “Székház ügy” (Hall Controversy - Fidesz sold a hall given to them for crazy amounts of money, which they dumped into media to attack the MSZP government of 1994-1998), and my mother to this day does not want to acknowledge it. People just saw that the MSZP-SZDSZ didn’t do a lot of good, tried to sell our hospitals to for-profit corporations, etc.

Most voters aren’t politically savvy terminally online weirdos, but weirdos that want to hear a story, a narrative.

We need a left-wing populist narrative! Not economic jargon, and also not the kind of leftist rhetoric that terminally online tankies on lemmygrad and hexbear are spouting (most destructive thing that can happen to leftism), but someone who will translate it to the language of the common people.

They had Bernie, but they backstabbed him in two primaries, to please the corporate donors. And maybe there’s the squad, at least two of them are still around.

You need to convince those, that are not terminally online about politics, and doesn’t know the concept of “lesser evil”.

The democrats are now throwing trans people under the bus!

Yeah, it’s advised to vote for the lesser evil, unless you’re literally choosing between Mussolini and Hitler, but you need to provide even more than being better on social issues than Trump. I cannot vote in the US, but saw many of those who could begging the democrats to put a weapons trade embargo on Israel. They were already being called “too antisemitic” even by dumping all the weapons into Israel anyways.

Expect this to escalate to really bad levels. Not just by women getting raped, but those awful men getting “what they deserve”, which will lead to further escalations. All because of they wanted what those stupid Coca-Cola and gas stove ads depicted.

Okay, maybe he would have alienated like a small percentage of liberals that thought he was “too radical” and he will bring a holodomor on the US for some reason. Maybe some of those Bernie bros were just troll pretending to like him, so they could play the “why I left the left”. Still, he not only could have won a lot of Republicans, but even more people who normally abstaining from voting.

Sure, you might be able to get away with it in case of advanced dementia. When my father was an election watcher, he saw christian fundamentalists trying to convince election officiers, that a man so demented that didn’t even realize what was happening, only that those christian fundamentalists talking about how that man used to be voting for Fidesz allegedly.

It’s a lot more complicated. They didn’t even really tried to ratify Roe v. Wade after it got repelled. They just tried to play the moral high ground.

If the democrats had any bravery, they would have at least tried to put it out to vote, then if failed, smear any republican in their way as a “creepy pedophile that wants little girls pregnant”, and “killers of mothers, whose pregnancy went wrong”. That sways moderates way easier than moving to the right, step-by-step. My mother is actually a moderate Fidesz voter, and she’s having second thoughts about her support every time she sees people posting “cry lib”-style gloat, or that the only children the “child protection” laws are protecting are manchildren having meltdowns from seeing “gay” series on the sidebar of Netflix. The common people are swayed by emotions way more than reason. Even I’m more emotional than reasonable. They want to hear a story, not a nerd-talk how your new tax system will improve the economy.

It’ll go in waves. Currently both the Fediverse and BlueSky are cozy places, and as they continue to further decay, both are going to gain more and more users. I’m less on these kinds of platforms, but I started to instead doomscroll way less and either watch more videos or are more productive. We maybe even should call this movement “social media detox”.
