    Why should someone’s political views “piss someone folks off”?

    It would be the “I’m a socialist but nearly all my posts are pro-Trump” bit I think. The ball of contradictions.

    But also, supporting someone who is setting up new internment , uh deportation, no, concentration camps, among other actions that are kicking the legs out from under our nation and causing the deaths of innocents would be a decent reason to be pissed off about someone’s political views.

    I appreciate your honesty. Especially in these times. I respect and support your right to disregard me and move on.

    I’ll probably wait until I can find the right quip to post. The point of it is along the lines of “all views deserve equal consideration only if you don’t actually look at the content of some of those views.” Because you seem to think you’re just playing fair, when what you are actually doing is supporting the up and coming dictatorial fascist regime.

    And in reply to one of your other questions - all conservatives and republicans may not be fascist bigots, but it’s also clearly not a problem for them that their elected representatives are. That’s pretty much enough for me to know what I need to know about them.

        Trump won the election. Does that mean the US is full of nazis?

        Means it’s full of people who are cool with us heading that way. Have some quips, though still not the one I was looking for.

        I also post news about earthquakes and ufo’s and tornado’s. Does that mean I support all of these things?

        Do you roll out the red carpet for them and explicitly say you are helping them?

        Even though I’m not conservative, I feel they have a right to partake in Lemmy.

        And I’ll help them do that. Cool?

        Nope, not cool.
