There are worse atrocities in life

It also references Germany, since the word "genocide" was invented to describe the Nazi crimes against European Jews (the Holocaust).

True

Offer them something better. They support Trump because he makes them feel:

1. Smart for cutting through all the lies to get to the truth.
2. Part of something bigger than themselves.
3. Victimized/marginalized (few things are more empowering than being wronged).

The opposition has to overcome these powerful emotions. Currently, they are kinda banking on a decisive victory in court. That might be enough to dispel some of the enchanted, but will only encourage the most fervent. Worse, if it doesn't get him locked up or disqualify him from running, it's going to increase his power.

The best way to fight it is with a candidate that can beat him. I hope Biden is capable of pulling it off a second time.

Besides Trump himself, there are systemic issues that we should be fighting over. The electoral collage system is a huge problem that isn't going away. 2000 and 2016 elections won by candidates with fewer votes.

Gerrymandering is also a big reason why he has as much support as he enjoys. Honestly, I might not care as much if he were president if Congress and State legislatures weren't so out of wack with our population distributions. Representative government my ass. Land is straight up voting and it should piss us all off way more.

Same. Pizza and Chinese food travel really well with simple packaging. Burgers and french fries, not so much.

Nah we're living in a nightmare with sleep paralysis, lady

I was there to witness it's majesty. Probably a year or two after it actually happened, but still I remember none pizza left beef

But if he comes back as ancap jebus with muscles we are all going to burn.

Is this a joke about rust?

Control where? How? What staff? You don't seem to grasp the most basic of fedi-premises.

This is not and never will be "user-centric" in the neoliberal sense. What of the admins control? What of their time, money, and effort spent to host the instance. What of the risks they take?

Did you even miss the part where you can host an instance yourself, if you can't find one that caters to your desires?
