I asked my coworkers who are mostly black and Puerto Rican (some of them even converted to Islam; none of them seem like atheists). They all agree that Trump will abolish taxes on overtime and forced child support (they swore that they would still pay for what their children actually need; I guess I gave them a “look”). Honestly, I couldn’t find a real source of Trump even promising these things. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was made up on social media.

It seems that many non-white urban folks voted for Trump. It seems most people just want a promise of food and shelter if they put in the work (people are working so many hours now). There’s probably a logical reason why neither party has a platform anymore.

People accept the most ridiculous things. The amount of potential we have to improve everything is enormous.

I’m laughing at myself right now. I keep wishing people would switch to more progressive politics when people cannot even switch to a free piece of software with zero drawbacks even when their software starts blocking other software they use.

Yes, those websites have Trump content as well but is it a majority of the front page?

Lemmy pulled a CNN. Basically, all Trump news again.

No company owns every single Lemmy instance. That’s the only guarantee you are getting; however, that’s where all of the tiny differences come from.

I’m just poking fun of the reputation it has. I hear crazy rumors about East Cleveland from “mayor stole all the funds” and it’s normal to find human remains in your yard. Mind you, I also live in the urban Midwest, it’s just East Cleveland seems next level bad.

I have noticied South Euclid is getting nicer. NE Ohio has potential, it’s just so resource starved.

Picture reminds me of East Cleveland (not to be confused with the east side of Cleveland; “East Cleveland” is it’s own city. The roads are this bad but I’m sure anyone who could fix the roads are too scared to go there…

Also looks like Detroit after some rain. The right lanes literally flood.

Midwest needs a redesign.

Saw my first cybertruck in person while on the highway today. It was pretty funny looking. Also, I doubt many vehicles were created to ride lava; let alone uneven terrain to this degree.

Maybe he loves Hitler so much he’s trying to revenge against Mother Russia?

Here is what I can find about this mysterious fellow. I was wondering why a Russian was helping Ukraine fight Russia and how a Russian became a Neo-Nazi. He is part of a group of Russians that do oppose Putin and part of a group based in Ukraine called “Russian Volunteer Corps.”

In 2001, when he was 17, Kapustin’s family moved to Cologne, Germany.[5] According to Der Spiegel, the Kapustin family received a permanent residence permit as Russian Jews. However, asked about her ethnic background and her alleged Jewish origins by the Spiegel journalists, Kapustin’s mother simply described herself as “a Russian woman”

During his time in Cologne, Kapustin was radicalised and became a well-known far-right figure who was associated with the far-right hooligan

His reach was limited in 2019 when Germany issued him a Schengen ban, or European-wide ban for “efforts against the liberal democratic constitution”.[8] This also applies to Switzerland.

If someone wanted to do an actual Nazi takeover of Ukraine, it would be this guy. Calling this guy a double edged sword is an understatement.

Looks like someone left the Coliseum in the sun for too long.

Not too long ago I got to the movie 20 minutes late after buying popcorn and drinks; and I still saw 20 minutes of trailers.

Because transgender (anti)rights have nothing to do with religion; it’s simply the transgender people’s turn to be thrown under the bus so the conservatives can continue virtue signalling.

While I agree with you, big cars are like lawyers. You keep big cars around to protect you from other big cars.

I truly feel car manufacturers are doing everything in their power to make sure that I personally regret every car decision I make. I hope a new comer starts at a low price point and eventually takes their higher margin stuff as well.

The wording here is really important. We don’t know how masculinity and feminism are being defined here.

Stuff that began with “woman’s suffrage” are honored by people in this age group. They think it’s normal women vote, have jobs, leave the house etc. Some of this stuff probably isn’t even “feminism” to them but just “normal.”

Remember that these guys are on social media a lot more than us and see those words misued frequently for click bait, etc.

Wow, I didn’t realize there were Chinese cars on the European market. Are the cars being received well? Are there major issues with them and if there are major issues, does price still make them worth it?

My biggest worry is that once/if the Chinese make cars “good enough for the US market”, all car companies lobby for worse consumer protections since those regulations no longer keep new competitors out of the market.

The goal of the Democratic party is to make sure they exist alongside the Republican party.
