We don’t learn. Trump is a lolcow. He generates outrage over absurdity to gain media leverage. This recent media cycle is not an accident and I am disappointed that we didn’t learn our lesson the first decade of this.

    Exactly. Trump’s 2025 campaign succeeded by focusing on real economic struggles, but his solutions were based on falsehoods. Deporting migrants won’t improve most Americans’ lives, there are only a few transgender women in school sports, and DEI isn’t causing job losses. But with distraction and misinformation, these claims gained traction.

    Focusing on irrelevant issues like Greenland or Canada only fuels the pro-Trump narrative without addressing the real problems about to befall the country.

      DEI isn’t causing job losses

      No the amount of jobs stays the same, but it replaces merit based hiring, with sex or race based hiring. And that isn’t good

          If my opinion is wrong, then tell me how. Otherwise my opinion will stay as is.

        The fact that you seriously believe that DEI is a circumvention to merit-based hiring is a clear indication that you have no idea what you’re talking about.
