It’s a sad alternate reality you live in where an attempt to steal an election, where cult member supporters of your president, at his prompting, were literally setting up gallows to hang the vice president. You think that is somehow the same as the other party. Have You even watched the endless public testimony talking about how Trump knew he lost? Have You seen his recent death threats against general Millie?

There is no safe space for newsmax Russian propaganda brainwashed morons on Lemmy. I was a member of the Republican party for 20 years, I was an NRA member as well. They’ve gone nuts. Trump is he in the stage of terminal cancer. Have fun watching him go to jail.

“…even the Republican party.”

You say that like they’re not the worst offender. They attempted a coup, and the majority of those corrupt pieces of garbage are still in their positions. They’re about to shut down the government in an effort to derail Trump going to jail. The level of cognitive dissonance that your statement represents is impressive.

No safe space on Lemmy for your typical sad ignorance.

Did he roll up in a clown car immediately before this?

His economic policies have been disastrous in Florida. Why do you think he would be good for the country, specifically on the economy? The construction industry, agriculture, medical, insurance, cost of living, inflation, education - Florida has nose dived with the continuation of DeSantis and far right policies in all of these areas. The status hemorrhaging doctors that are simply leaving, educators that are simply leaving, insurance providers are gone, there’s a 9-month wait just to get a company to roof your house, new construction has ground to a standstill, agriculture can’t find anyone to do field work, Disney has canceled hundreds of millions of dollars of investment in the state, etc. etc. I’m just shocked that anyone would want this for the rest of the country. All of the statistics and all of this information has been repeatedly making national headlines for a year.

I work in IT and had to abandon Firefox because of compatibility issues that came up on a regular basis. it appears companies are simply not using it as part of their QA anymore. Also, in general the GUI theming has issues for me with the font and distinguishing highlights with my crappy vision. I tried every theme out there and for some reason apparently people writing themes just don’t care to make it so you can see what is highlighted and what is not. Even The default theme sucks in my opinion. There were a number of other nits that I just kept having issues with - getting prompted on eBay to verify my identity for no reason, repeatedly, which doesn’t happen on chromium and stuff like that.

I wish Apple would adopt the Firefox rendering engine and take Safari cross platform. It would give Firefox a fighting chance at the overall market.

I wish I still had a Facebook account to post this too so the right wingers would see it.

“She fell funny”

Always before the political party would be pretending to care. The GOP ISN’T EVEN PRETENDING. They’ve embraced extremist fuse like banning abortion and various other wildly unbelievably unpopular things. There is massive support for gun safety legislation, for tax relief for everyday people rather than corporations, for medical care reform, younger people support science and the GOP is blatantly anti-science in every way possible, just over and over again, there is absolutely nothing at all to attract younger voters or even middle-aged voters. The pendulum will never swing back as it stands today.

We have no example anything like what we’re seeing now. Those turning 18 are 87% blue. Every day boomers die, kids turn 18, and 83,000 votes change to blue - every day. The demographics are staggering. Want to know why the “red wave” was a pink trickle? That’s why. At no point in US history in the last 150 years have we seen anything like this. The GOP will lose the Presidency in 24 - there will be over 5 million new blue voters, and people aren’t turning red as they age anymore. The GOP will lose the House and Senate too. Attrition via death - the red side doesn’t have enough voters left.

I attempted to find a point in your statement but I failed. You seem to be trying to draw a parallel of some sort between empires from hundreds of years ago and a modern day nation.

Delusional that they think distributing that book in that country will promote tolerance. “So, tell me more about your ‘Prophet’ that marries 9 year old girls…”.

Of The seven Trump voters in my immediate family and friends list, zero voted for him in 2020. what do you think he has done to change that since then? I have queried them and none of them support him anymore still, quite the opposite, after the insurrection they consider him a traitor, and only one of them is skeptical about the current court cases against him. The rest expect him to go to jail, legitimately.

I was playing off the fact that Israel is about to become a full-blown dictatorship (duh). Sucks to be these people, sure.

I don’t see them all that differently than idiot anti-vaxxers dropping dead of COVID, or wacko 7th Day Adventist no blood transfusion morons dying of an infected finger going septic.

It’s actually the original spelling. That is what you respond to? lol

There is an entire nation of educators that do have those credentials that are disputing Florida’s nonsense. Meanwhile The state itself is hemorrhaging teachers, and the insurance rates have gone so high due to repeated hurricanes that my cousin, an extremely rich and successful real estate broker, is leaving the state because real estate is now imploding there. The anti-immigrant law that the far-right legislature there passed, has left the entire construction industry at a standstill as well as wreaking havoc in the agricultural industry. Meanwhile the insurance industry is flat-out leaving the state because there’s no way to make money there. At the same time Desantis and the legislature are doing nothing to evolve Florida building codes and harden the infrastructure to keep the State livable in a world with multiple major hurricanes per season.

At any rate, Florida is just plain f#cked - the exodus has begun and Desantis is adding fuel to the fire.

I think if you spend your life believing ridiculous nonsense, prompting you to live in a country run by corrupt goons, a country with laws that allow them to do stuff like this, you shouldn’t be surprised when it happens.

If you think after the epic loss Drumpf suffered last time, PR from all these criminal trials is somehow good… wow. Also, if you think pollsters didn’t learn from 2016… wow.

Facepalm - trying to justify teaching that slavery was in any way good…
