8 hours agoI don’t think this has anything to do with covid. Trump’s entire 2016 campaign was about building a border wall, and Fox cranks up the border talk leading up to every single election cycle.

not to mention, as if any Americans actually want to do the jobs that undocumented immigrants are doing for us.
Deporting illegal immigrants who commit violent crimes, for example, would fall under that.
The actual phrasing in the poll was, “The mass deportation of undocumented immigrants”. I kind of doubt most people would think targeted deportation like for criminals would count as “mass deportation of undocumented immigrants”.

7·15 hours agobut very close to not being protected, hence the warning.
it’s easier to win elections with shitty candidates if you’re not worried about the opponent winning.
sure, but this guy is not even being charged with anything. we are talking about a warning.
“The FBI visited my house today for free speech acts they knew were not crimes.”
Uh, calling for violence is NOT protected under the first amendment, so you can fuck right off with that.
“It is well understood that the right of free speech is not absolute at all times and under all circumstances. There are certain well-defined and narrowly limited classes of speech, the prevention and punishment of which have never been thought to raise any Constitutional problem. These include the lewd and obscene, the profane, the libelous, and the insulting or ‘fighting’ words – those which by their very utterance inflict injury or tend to incite an immediate breach of the peace. It has been well observed that such utterances are no essential part of any exposition of ideas, and are of such slight social value as a step to truth that any benefit that may be derived from them is clearly outweighed by the social interest in order and morality.”
4·20 hours agojust having to go into an MRI tube every couple weeks without it turned on would probably rewire your brain a little bit. that’s not a comfortable place to be mentally.
31·1 day agoyou’re completely ignoring that a large portion of our populace are racist rednecks who fanatically support a guy like trump. it’s not just a systemic issue, we are a highly polarized nation and overthrowing the government won’t change that, it’ll only make it worse.
“no reason”? if the alternative to a hand or arm amputation is death, yeah, i’m gonna choose a hand amputation.
that’s what our alternative is in your analogy. remember the US is highly polarized right now, so one (sane) group taking over the US govt is likely impossible, and even if successful would end up in a massive civil war. that would not only destroy life in the US for the foreseeable future, but the entire global economy and geopolitical equilibrium.
blame is irrelevant. what is relevant is choosing who you think will handle it best (or less bad) in the next 4 years. if you think that’s trump, you’re delusional. if you think trump would have handled the last 11 months better, you’re delusional.
lemmy is not the point. clearly the top comment was asking if trump was getting asked these same questions in general, not comments on lemmy.
that’s not true. see the very first charts here and here.
also, Trump didn’t HAVE to send much aid to israel because 2017-2020 just happened to be a relatively peaceful time with israel/palestine, unlike Obama’s and Biden’s terms.
Trump:
- moved the American embassy to Jerusalem
- has never once uttered the words “cease fire”, only called for Israel’s “victory”
- as far as experts are aware, Trump has never expressed any concern over humanitarian aid in Gaza
- reversed US’s position on Israeli settlements in Palestine, which Biden has again reversed to the original position in accordance with international law
while kamala is getting hit on this issue, it’s important for people to keep in mind (or learn if they didn’t know) that Trump has historically been a fanatic supporter of israel and netanyahu. way beyond any other president, D or R.
their point was, let’s hold trump to the same standards as everyone else.
exactly, it would be a catastrophe. so many industries would grind to a halt without their trained laborers, and even if you did somehow manage to backfill all those with documented workers (yeah right), the cost to do so would be insane for less skilled, less efficient workers. the inflation would make post-covid look insignificant by comparison.
