I owe this women an apology. She was completely right and reacting appropriately.

    A lot of people owe that poor woman an apology.

    The hate she gets is wild. I don't always find her comics funny, but the absolute vitriol she gets is wild over on Reddit.

    Not me, I very much felt the same way as she did. And I knew very well what the 2nd term would look like and so I was very sad when he did not get shot that one time. "Oh, how can you say that? He's not that bad." Blind fools the lot of you. It was always so very obvious if you had just cared to look.

    Someone who was filmed screaming and crying during the announcement (maybe inauguration, can't remember which now) of the 45th president of the US

    I had someone here on lemmy literally tell me that history doesn’t matter and we shouldn’t pay attention to it. The ignorance was fucking astounding.

    Years ago someone told me on reddit that antivirus protections on personal PCs aren't necessary and a waste of processing power.

    Can't really reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into.

    Were they arguing that extra antivirus wasn’t necessary? Cause windows built in has been better than alternatives for years now (well, idk about 11, but 7, 8, and 10 all had good antivirus).

    As an autistic person who has a great skill of finding similarities between two things, you can see a lot of parallels between our modern world and 1940s Germany.

    I'd say we're still at the 1930s Germany stage, considering World War 3 hasn't started yet.

    Basically what I think of Simpsons "predictions".

    Matt Groening isn't some kind of clairvoyant. He just knows history and recognizes patterns.

    Also they laid it all out in project 2025. It's not like they tried to hide it other than trumps usual "I've never heard of it". And if you believe anything that shithead says.. well this is what happens

    this current arc starts with 9/11.

    Disagree. This is the result of decades more bullshit from other american presidents, political figures, and 3 lettered organizations ran by ghoulish wastes of skin. There have been many famous people who have been outspoken about this shit in that time too. 9/11 and America’s batshit insane reaction to it was just more of the same dumb bullshit the rest of the world has come to expect from it’s governments and citizenry.

    Anybody with the slightest Critical Thinking Skills knew how bad this would get, way back in 2015.

    I knew who this hump was back in the 80s, and could have told you what a disaster he'd be as president back then, and would have been 75% correct, with only a 25% underestimation of how bad it would actually be.

    If I'm being honest, the first term was quite underwhelming compared to how bad it could be (as 2025+ has proved).

    He didn’t surround himself with literally zombies who only say yes to him during his first term. Them turning on him when he wanted to overrule the election results showed that. He doesn’t know how government works and thought everyone should treat him like a king from the beginning and had a rude awakening that was term 1. Now he knows and thus, utter destruction.

    Yes, but have you considered how bad it is that respectable white people are now affected by its brutality? Have some empathy for Christ's sake. 😤

    Seriously though, it is incredibly frustrating to see discourses like these when racialized and indigenous people in the US metropole have criticised the fundamentally violent nature of the United States before it was even imagined. The smugness of it all y'know?

    Well, to be fair, being able to read is quickly becoming indistinguishable from the arcane arts in America.
