ahhh that's what happened to me then. I just randomly got banned one day and I think it was reporting a conservative post for hate or something

Try explaining that term to someone in 1925. I'm proud of how far we've come.

Welcome. I joined from reddit in 2025, and happy to see more come over since Reddit has become a corporate, bot-filled, propaganda arm for many different groups

Thanks, Obam-na

Again, I want to believe, but recent history doesn't provide that angle. During COVID there were people saying it was a government hoax as they were dying in the hospital. If they can be brainwashed to not believe their own fucking death, then nothing will change them.

I'm not talking about some of the moderates who don't really mind Trump but don't stay informed, by the way. I think some small percentage of these folks will be able to see the reality, just not in time.

That's completely wishful and fantastical thinking. By midterms the base will be so propagandized again to just forget about the regime robbing them blind left and right. I want to believe it, but recent history has taught me otherwise.

These Russian assets are truly executing Putin's playbook perfectly huh

Sounds like you're not American right? There is already pushback at GOP town halls and many conservatives who disapprove of what is going on overall. Unfortunately they're not capable of empathy until it affects them, but they're starting to get personally affected. Also it's only going to get worse and negatively affect even more people, so at that point their own personal circumstances will outweigh whatever Fox News tells them to think about everything.

Because he has unchecked power in our government. It's important to pay close attention to what he says and does, so we can figure out the best ways to remove him.

No one is hating him. Who said that?

Yep, I made a blanket statement about every revolution that has ever existed... Of course I didn't say that, why are you putting words in my mouth? The French Revolution ended poorly for most in the following 40 years. That's what I said.

The core of the issues were fully American. However, USSR/Russia has worked very long and hard to pour nitroglycerin and gasoline on these issues for their own benefit, such as expanding territory, capturing/killing US and NATO spies, etc. all thanks to their little pet in the white house now. I mean in the 30s the same fascist/capitalist leadership tried another coup it just didn't work (where George H.W. Bush's father was involved, of course). In the 80s they hollowed out our support system even more, and it's only declined from there.

It's clear you don't know who I am or what I know, of course, but you're reading into my comment way too much.

The point is that a revolution didn't make things any better overall. It just sucked in different ways.

If your definition of the Russian Mafia includes, the Kremlin, then yes. Putin and co are absolutely gangster scum that work hand in hand with the actual mafia and international criminal organizations. Sure the actual people of Russia are fucked (just as with any country of a dictator).

Not necessarily monsters (actually yeah they are), but he has a 40 year history of being compromised and owned by Soviet and Russian oligarchs. I'm reading "American Kompromat" now and it couldn't be clearer. It's not even hidden or anything. The Russians really just, won the Cold War. They did it, they toppled the US. Good job for them.

I lol'd

Why would they advertise stuff like that? I feel like for the Left generally, it's not an entire personality trait like it is for the Right.

Someone hasn't read a history book it seems. Please, enlighten us about how that revolution turned out.

There's a delicate balance of copium/hope to keep us going, and actual understanding of reality. You can't completely give up hope because that just leads to inaction and surrender. Use any hope you get and channel into "GTFO energy" for this regime.
