Does the Trump election gives everyone the right to call all US citizens convicted felons?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Or am I missing something?

Plot twist

There was a thread on !AskUSA@discuss.online on that topic recently

Happy cake day!

each community has basically been infiltrated by power-tripping mods from Reddit that honestly have no business being mods.

Do you have examples? I follow !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com quite closely, and except the usual Lemmy.ml and Lemmy.world power tripping the vast majority of communities seem okay

The UK was giving the rest of the EU the cold shoulder for most of its time in the Union. Not willing to switch to the Euro, not wanting to join Schengen.

Not sure if you are British, but even though I would be happy if the UK would join the EU in a few dozens years, I also understand why people feel a bit cold towards the UK in the context of Brexit.

The film was one of the few of the time to depict an interracial marriage in a positive light, as interracial marriage historically had been illegal in many states of the United States. It was still illegal in 17 states, until June 12, 1967, six months before the film was released, and scenes were filmed just before anti-miscegenation laws were struck down by the Supreme Court in Loving v. Virginia.

Makes more sense with this context.

The things I’ve heard far too many Europeans of various nationalities say about MENA, Desi, Turkish, and Romani folk just… makes my skin crawl.

Very true

Also every “Mexican” food dish I’ve had in Europe has just been bad. Y’all are doing it wrong.

Where in Europe? In Spain there is a large Mexican community, I hope they make it somehow right.

Good example

I think the issue, especially on Reddit, was the over-representation of US Americans compared to the other countries.

It gets old quite fast to get called a "surrender monkey" or a Nazi on a regular basis in a space where most of the audience is on the other side and I'm not even French or German.

On Lemmy it's probably a bit more balanced.

!showsandmovies@lemm.ee has weekly discussions thread on that topic

Personally, I agree with the statement that politcs are invading a lot of memes communities. Just had a look at !whitepeopletwitter@sh.itjust.works (also, did we really have to keep that name), one meme was about a nice joke with a "made my boyfriend a goblin keychain", the top post is about Republicans claiming they supported Obama.

Happy to help

There are 44k monthly active users on this platform.

According to you, they only talk about American politics.

According to me, they also talk about other topics.

Another thread I open yesterday, 55 comments: https://sopuli.xyz/post/21023787

I'm providing examples and numbers to back up my claims, you use incorrect hyperboles.

School breaks probably have an impact
