That is by design. If the "majority" of the country wants the US to be Nazis, that is the direction it will go. That is how a representative democracy works. The flaw was the founders assuming retarded puppets would not be elected by even an uneducated public. But, they also didn't plan for automatic weapons either. Well, they sort of did, they said we should be rewriting the constitution every so many years so it can evolve with the times, but we chose to enshrine and misinterpret it like a civic bible. Oops.

It sounds like an RPG.

Stabbing? American here, never heard of it...., it's like shooting but no range, lower body count, and not something a physically inferior person can do to anyone equally effectively, right?

Hopefully OP can live with trading "needing a TV license for a TV no one uses anymore" and "actual healthcare" for a "failing democracy turned Christian nationalist oligarchy"!

They are not a real dot-connecty group.

It is more in line with a puppet, that has zero understanding of anything, being told what to say as it is convenient.

Yeah, the super obvious political stunt was a political stunt. It only fools those that don't pay any attention or don't know how anything works. Biden said he would not enforce the order, that trump signed during his first term, to ban tiktok. Then tiktok chose to shut itself down for a day and chose to turn itself back on with its political pandering notice. It is all to manipulate it's users while also paying fealty to the incoming president (because China knows that is how easy he is to control).

Project 2025. It's their plan. They wrote it down.

PRACTICE WITH YOUR GUN! Don't just buy it and expect to be able to do anything with it in a crunch.

I always add, learn how to treat a bullet wound and have kit to do so.

This is important for when something unthinkable or even an accident happens. Carrying a flat-packed tourniquet with your weapon can save your life if it misfires through your leg, or a ricochet hits you. In my case it helped when I had to defend myself against a group of people acting hostile. I drew, they didn't back off, one charged and took a shot through the arm and collapsed holding his arm. His friends ran away, likely thought he was dead. I stopped the bleeding until the ambulance got there. The cops met him at the hospital (GSWs get reported). I didn't have any legal fallout or problems from the police. They said it was clearly self-defense and I put myself at risk helping the guy.

Boring anecdote, I know, but it matters. I am not gonna advocate for altruisticly saving a Nazi/MAGA that you defend yourself from, but it can benefit you in a system rigged against you. Or it can save YOUR life if you both get a shot off and your aim is true, while the other person hits you in a limb.

Also, it just doesn't hurt having more people with critical casualty care skills and kit walking around.

Dropped Hulu so very long ago.

Yeah ... I said that. Your data can be used and sold, it just doesn't have anything to do with a tiktok ban. They already have your ad data, especially if you are a tiktoker/social media user. The van stems from security concerns, it has nothing to do with the average user, no one cares about them.

Where did I see the "rule" of comic books where the main villain starts as a good guy and after a friend of the hero....

Right?! RIP Intel haha

YOUR data doesn't matter. Information gained from mass analysis of data that is tied to govt workers and military personnel is a security concern and it is treated as such. Nobody cares about your particular data, on either side (well, maybe ad companies, but if you are a tiktoker, you are already fully compromised there).

On the up side for tiktok kids. The CCP will likely order trump to unblock it.

I hear Mario bros music....

Getting sick of this shit.

Don't even act like the SCOTUS upholds the Constitution, they uphold the christian bible now. So unamerican.

It's .ml, they have a lot of CCP shills/bots/ops/whatever. I haven't heard this new spin on it. Which is kinda a funny one because the Xijingpoohbear started in China...you know, by other folks with the same skin color.

I'll give the CCP social manipulators some credit, they are good at their job. Getting something plausibly called out for racism on Lemmy is a reliable way to get a lot of kneejerk support without any thought behind it.

China would have more of an investment in the information on people they DO care to get than the US would have on any information scraps it could collect from tiktok that it doesn't already have from hundreds of other sources.

That is actually a really funny point I hadn't thought of.
