I think it's probably more focused on those impacted most and (unfortunately) where the most sympathy is.
A lot of transphobia is under the guise of women's rights (sports, bathrooms). But also, anyone can (usually) participate it men's sports and men are generally not threatened by someone using the men's bathroom. That doesn't always apply. But it's usually women who suffer the most.
So 1/3 of Americans are in a cult of hate and idiocy whether they know it or not.
The difficulty is getting 75% of the remaining population on board. 75% of a wide range of ideologies to agree that freedom and investment in America are better than submission, oppression, and chaos.
So, convincing 75% of people that allowing the government to deport innocent people (innocent until proven guilty and we know many of them are actually innocent) is actually really fucking bad.
If a Colorado court can decide to remove a candidate, then all the republicans need to do is get a majority in the courts of swing states and they would forever have the presidency.
It should be up SCOTUS to validate or invalidate Colorado's findings. It would never be Colorado as the final word. That's how the courts already work. Lower courts rule and higher courts can take further action if needed.
Ideally the courts would rule on it and it would be up to congress with a supermajority to reverse it.
To be clear, a court did rule that he committed treason and was barred from running. SCOTUS did not say they were wrong, they only stated that they (the fucking courts) did not have the power to APPLY THE CONSTITUTION.
So yeah. It would be up to the courts to apply the constitution and SCOTUS would have the final word. I'm not sure why it would be any different from any other ammendment.
I don't support the death penalty because those individuals are no threat to society, many of them are innocent, and the government shouldn't have that kind of power when it's unnecessary.
None of that applies. Also, I don't wish him dead. I just want him gone. The method of his removal is just a secondary concern.
The two worst reactions that I saw were gaming and NFL. You're right that most of the subs were fine. It's the big ones that were addictive to a point I didn't realize until something happened.
Some of my favorite subs would have a total meltdown, like end of the world shit, because it closed for 24 hours. Then when the app bans happened, there were the blackouts and once again, people were angry at the audacity of the mods not being submissive.
They want their content above literally anything else. Take it away for a moment and their entire world collapses. And when you see the all consuming, brain-dead, content they were viewing, AND THE IMPORTANCE THEY PUT ON IT, it's no wonder why they have the reputation they do. That was very sobering.
I think even 10 years ago Reddit was a lot bigger. The niche subs still had some traction. Like, Morrowind there 10 years ago had more stuff than the Elder Scrolls community here does. (I could be misremembering, but that feels right.)
BUT you're right that it wasn't endless filler back then. There was an end, and then you were done.
Whether the last Wolverine movie was part of the same continuity has flip-flopped anyways. I'd rather consider it separate the same way Old Man Logan is in the comics.
Playing one of the big multiplayer arcade cabinets like Simpsons or X-Men was the original couch co-op with whoever was at the arcade not playing pinball or pool.
I bought the 4-Player co-op X-Men arcade cabinet from Arcade1up and it's been a blast playing it all the way through with my son.
