Brown until proven white and rich.

This is about flexing their power. They are showing that they won and they are going to force their values down everyone else's throat.

Don't belittle them by calling them pathetic. Call it what it is.

This is fascism.

Keep in mind that there was a gunman that shot at Republicans and no meaningful gun law was passed as a result.

Only if you're white and conservative.

That's the thing I don't get from Fox News and other conservative outlets.

Who is paying these protestors? Why is this never a follow-up question? Why isn't anyone from Fox or any other "journalistic" org investigating this? Or at least pretending to?

Let's assume that these protestors are paid. The most conservative estimate of the number of protestors is 2 million. Let's halve that because, you know, conservatives want to downplay this whole thing.

Assuming everyone was there for no more than two hours, and assuming minimum wage, we're talking $7,250,000 for everyone. Let's assume half were paid and half "followed along".

$3,625,000 just for paying the protestors. Ignoring web site domains, salaries for organizers, etc.

Let's call it an even $3 mill.

Who the fuck is paying that?! This isn't chump change. This is "journalism 101 follow the money trail" kind of money.

I mean, I know, and you know, why they aren't investigating. They just need a boogyman.

But damn even the most cursory look at this excuse falls apart.

Dude. We're on Lemmy. Don't be advertising some closed source app.

Missl is the best federated, defense first, FOSS war planning app available. You can self host using docker or use one of the many public instances.

Conservatives only love dead soldiers because they don't want or need anything.

Did you play Penguin? That was the coolest game.

Omg TI-83 for me! Then school admins got all pissed about it and banned it. So the exact game was changed to be Candy Wars. Exact same mechanics except drug names were changed to candy.

The end result of fascism is cronyism.

Anyone who says the government should be run as a business will fail at running both

Yeah man. Nestle owns that word.

Nah you can't do that. Because hot food is illegal. Only cold food. And unprepared.

Can't have welfare queens getting warm! They won't pull on their bootstraps otherwise!

Native American tribe should immediately rendition him to their court system.

Have they said thank you once?!

But....he's still racist right? Because that's all I care about. Making sure it's still okay to be racist.

You're assuming the rule of law applies to either Trump or Musk.

I will be shocked, SHOCKED, if this is the reason why Musk is stepping down and not Trump's bruised ego.

They stayed through the meal. They were okay with the "illegal immigrant" serving them. Just not paying for their service.

The fact that Trump is saying out loud that voter ID laws would "allow them to win all future elections" should give you a clue as to why not.

Voter ID laws, at face value, are not the problem. The problem is that Republicans have made getting a valid ID damn near difficult in typically blue areas.

Not only that, there are simply no cases of voter fraud in the US where a voter ID would have stopped said fraud. Voter Fraud, as it happens, is so rare that the only really effective way to commit fraud is by ballot stuffing which, surprise surprise, Republicans have consistently been caught doing.

No that's for checking if your data has been breached. I want the full data set.
