[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago (2 children) Imagine if you're the dictator of the wealthiest and most powerful nation in human history. A few boos from folks in the cheap seats seems like a small price to pay when you can feast on the townsfolk every night with abandon. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] stoy@lemmy.zip 32 points 11 months ago (1 child) Yet basically all dictators have been harsh on even the lightest of protests, since if you allow it, the protests will grow until you can't deal with it. Public protests like these are highly useful to fight against Mr. Trump. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] onslaught545@lemmy.zip 21 points 11 months ago (1 child) Just look how effective calling them weird was. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] stoy@lemmy.zip 10 points 11 months ago (2 children) Oh yeah, keep attacking their masculinity, that is one of their biggest weakpoints. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 13 points 11 months ago (2 children) I don't think the 'weird' thing was really about masculinity. Conservatives value conformity, which is why they mock expressiveness like dyed hair; they think they are the default, and so being called weird and the insult sticking because they are fucking weird really hits them where it hurts permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 1 point 11 months ago Where it hurts is the money. Nobody seemed interested in hitting reactionaries in the money. Biden kept dumping cash into the pockets of Musk, Thiel, Zuck, Bezos, and Pichai. Neither do Hochul or Newsom. Dems have the power to hit fascism where it hurts, but they're too terrified of losing access to the Infinite Tech Sector Money Machine. permalink fedilink source parent [–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 1 point 11 months ago (1 child) Conservatives mock dyed hair??
