I run the FBXL Network including FBXL Search, FBXL Social, FBXL Lemmy, FBXL Lotide, and FBXL Video. Mostly for my own use because after having my heart broken by too many companies I want to be in control of my own world.
I also wrote The Graysonian Ethic: Lessons for my unborn son, now on Amazon

I disavow, but you’re correct. How many people died from his administrations lies? How many innocent people were tortured under his watch? How heavy are that guy’s sins?
The funniest thing to me was Joe Biden bragging about how much of the Bush administration supported him not Donald Trump.
It’s like “you think that’s a positive? Did your dementia addled brain forget that the Democrats won the executive, the house, and the senate with a supermajority because people hated that admin so much?”
In Canada, even the past few elections where there were early voting days, we knew who was in charge by morning.
It isn’t an isolated incident: many US elections are still being fought over, and Canada has its election and knows who runs the country in a day during the big fight down south.
Not saying Canada is better in any other way, but these long drawn out countings of votes isn’t normal.
I mean I’m not going anywhere, and I know a few other regulars are from other instances too.
I suspect the fediverse at large will also start moving in now that lemmy is growing. Some spicy sites like poast or fse will probably get in on this at some point, then there’ll really be a cluster of sites.
As I understand it…
Conservative is liberal because the status quo from the 1800s until some time in the post-war period was liberalism. To be a liberal is to believe in individual liberty and responsibility, and to want the least amount of regulation on people’s personal lives by the state.
Liberal is conservative because there’s a certain worldview that was established during that post-war period has now been the status quo for several generations. You can have someone who is parroting the same worldview that their great grandparents held, the exact same orthodoxy. In this way, following the ideology of your great grandparents can only be considered conservative.
Would this be accurate to you?
I think that’s something a lot of people don’t realize, we’ve got a lot of edgelords saying stuff mostly because it’s not allowed to be said.
I think even a lot of maga folks agree that in some ways Trump is kinda an idiot sometimes. I mean, look at all the swamp monsters he had surrounding him as President.
Tbf, the teevee has been telling them what to think at the top of their lungs for 6 years.
Nevermind that populism and socialism literally have the same idea at it’s core: that the world can be separated into two classes of people, the elites and the masses, and that it is just for the elites to have less power and the masses to have more.
Really, when you look at it from that point of view, of course the elites tell everyone to fear and hate the populists.
It’s completely different! All they’re doing is teaching kids is that all the world’s problems are created by a race of people they claim control the banks, the media, and the corporations and that we should try to make sure there are less of them while promoting a other race of people as clearly superior using a falsified version of history.
By definition, as long as you are judging someone as being better or worse solely on the basis of their race, that’s racism.
One of the reasons Martin Luther King’s speech was so compelling to so many people was that it didn’t ask you to look at people for the color of their skin, but for the opposite. If someone is a good person, judge them as a good person.
