WTF are you smoking? This ENTIRE website blasts Trump and Republicans for EVERYTHING!! Welcome to Reddit 2.0.

This is silly. If this was Obama or Clinton that pushed for this, Democrats would not care. The Left is doing anything and everything to make it sound like Trump is some evil human who does NOT deserve some kind of immunity. They're doing this simply to scare people into voting for them (which both sides are guilty of despite what the Left will tell you...) .For fucks sake, we're talking about the POTUS, what's the purpose of holding the most important job in the world, if you constantly have to worry about going to prison? Ridiculous.

Interesting reading all the comments about how you can understand those who don't want to fight.. yet, most of you support financing this war...the Democrats are sending BILLIONS of dollars, and god forbid we question where all the money is going... right?

How did Trump destroy democracy when he was president? How horrible was your life? What freedoms did you lose when Trump was President? Again, scare tactics from the Left that we've been hearing for years now... I'm old enough to remember when they said the same shit about Bush Jr...

Neofascism an overrated word thrown around by the Left. That's like me saying that the Democrats are going to turn our country into socialism, when we know that's not true. We heard all these things before, how horrible the country would be if Trump got elected, the "end of democracy"...and yet, under Trump none of those things happened. Both sides use scare tactics, the Democrats are no better.

I find it ironic when the Left says "I don't care if Biden is senile and incoherent, I'll still vote for him!" no one cares... But, when the Right says "I don't care that Trump is being charged with all these different things, I'll still vote for him!" they're idiots... funny how that works on Lemmy and Reddit...

"Only two people hate America. Those who have never been here, and those who have never left..."

So, when are you getting involved into politics and changing things? I swear, some of you make it sound like you know better than all of our political leaders throughout history... it makes you wonder, with all these leaders making these "horrible" decisions, why is the US still one of the strongest countries in the world, and people are risking their lives to get here?

I'm just trying to offer a different opinion. This site (like Reddit) is 99% Left leaning. I like to voice my opinion as someone who leans more Right. Or, should Lemmy only be for people on the Left? Should Lemmy only be for people who vote Democrat, have liberal views, and support Biden?

It's funny how the Left looks at the rich and power as the enemy... when in fact, the vast majority of them in this country are Democrats.. all of Hollywood and the entertainment industry like to say "we're just like you!" and the Left eats it up..

Silly. Gotti was a know mafia leader, who ordered the deaths of people.... I swear the Left will do anything to stop Trump from running for President...

I think you have it backwards. Social programs don't help, because that takes an effort by the individual to get involved and be part of something. Most criminals and people who are going to commit crime, are not going to get involved in a social program. I don't know how old you are, but when I was younger, I was absolutely afraid to steal because I didn't want to go to jail. It seems nowadays, that fear isn't there. I would argue more police presence is what a country like the United States needs. People forget just how big, and how many freedoms we have. Hoping that all these people, from all different walks of life and backgrounds, follow all the same laws, isn't going to cut it. We need strict laws, more police, so that people know that crime, no matter the level, is not tolerated anywhere in the United States. I want to live in a country where people are afraid to break the law. I know that sounds crazy...

Again, what you're implying is that we should just allow petty theft... even 3rd world countries punish people for this...

Force those that are homeless, who clearly have mental issues, to live in an adult care facility where they can :

A) Get treatment for drugs/alcohol

B) Get treatment for mental issues.

Have them go through a process to get better, if it doesn't help, they don't leave.

This is what needs to be done in order to get most of these people off the streets. But, it's considered "cruel" and "unusual" by Democrats, so, nothing gets done. We'll never break the homeless issue problem in California with Democrats/Liberals in leadership, that's a fact.

I'm glad that crime is down, overall, but it effects people differently depending where they live. I live in California, and drive for a living...traveling to Northern and Southern California often... while some violent crime is down, things like car break-ins, retail theft, petty burglary, and hate crimes have not really changed. Again, people will only react to what they have personally experienced. I was in San Francisco last week... it's still a shit show. Homeless using drugs, crazy people walking around threatening everyone, theft... nothing has changed.

So, make retail theft legal? I'm being serious...should we just not care if people steal?

So, what do you suggest countries do? Allow anyone and everyone to come in, and government should instead spend all their time and resources going after the wealthy? Are you saying, that if the rich stopped having money, and just..disappeared, everyone would be better off?

What? Where do you live? I live in near a big city in California, crime is out of control There's no consequences for many street level crimes now, especially retail theft. I have personally seen people run into stores, grab stuff and run...while employees are just hiding, scared. They call the cops, who won't come because they're backed up with more "severe" crime in the city... so, it continues, and continues. Who's to blame? The cops, who are already stretched thin? The homeless, because hey, they need to eat too! I mean, it's nuts...I feel like I live in a third world country sometimes..

So, are you suggesting people just keep voting the way they do, and nothing changes? I mean, we're dealing with the same shit in California. The Left literally does not want to do shit about the homeless crisis. The Right wants forced intervention.. and of course, we can't have that, so we're going in circles. Nothing is getting done with Democrats in power, they literally believe the homeless issue is okay.
