  • He wouldn't have promised it if his voters weren't OK with it. Not saying he'll keep his word, but it gives insight to the state of the Republican party. Some people on Lemmy seem to think he's literally Hitler. He's not, even if he turns out to be just as bad. He'll find his own way to fuck shit up, so don't expect an exact repeat of history.

  • Yep, this sounds like the harm reduction approach that the left has been advocating for. It sounds like these are alternatives to prison for people with addictions. Not saying he'll be able to make it work, but "tax cannabis + harm reduction" is much better than what a lot of Republicans' drug policies are.

  • McConnell already blocked Trump's ally from becoming the leader of the house. They voted yesterday, and the next senate majority leader is John Thune, who has criticized Trump for Jan 6 and for claiming the 2020 election was stolen. He was also against Trump's tarrifs 6 years ago. Thankfully the senate doesn't seem to be ending up under Trump's control, and the checks and balances in our government might actually be working.

  • Or (and I realize I'm playing devil's advocate here, but...) maybe she was being sarcastic about all of them? The fact that she referenced the outcome of the 2020 election (the number of votes Biden actually got) along with "the earth is flat" and "birds aren't real" makes me think she doesn't believe any of them and this is just bait.
