During this week's broadcast of Fox News Channel's "Sunday Morning Futures," President Donald Trump dismissed naysayers who claimed friction between him and Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) head Elon Musk. | Clips
In all seriousness, can you elaborate? I’m genuinely curious.
Nah. I’ve seen the witchhunts that Lemmy relishes. No offense to you though!
But people will legit screenshot pieces of my conversations and follow me to other posts and other communities. Then they post those screenshots, out of context, and yell variations of “Don’t listen to him. He’s a troll! See?! See?!” Even in non-political posts and discussions.
I’ve seen it happen over and over.
So I just don’t get that detailed anymore. Not that I will ever be run off of Lemmy, but I just won’t get into deep detailed conversations. Which I’m totally fine with. :)
I’m sorry that you feel that way. If you’re uncomfortable giving your opinion I can give mine and see if we have any middle ground.
From my perspective, DOGE is an attempt to repeat what was done to Twitter on a much larger scale. The U.S economy is crashing hard as a result. I’m legitimately concerned the damage DOGE has done to the U.S government will be permanent. The cutting of research and government programs at this level will have lasting impacts that will reduce the quality of life of Americans for generations.
I can elaborate further if you want. I understand others gut reactions to down vote your comments and your posts when they disagree but this is a conservative community. I’m clearly not conservative but respect that people have other political views. Perhaps I’m an optimist but I think if platforms like Lemmy don’t allow those on the other side of political spectrum to have conversations then it pushes people into their own echo chambers further polarizing the individual.
I hope you feel more comfortable to share your personal opinion on what is happening in future. Given how extreme it is, I think its necessary to really understand what is happening.
OP is one of the most prolific posters here, operating several accounts and sometimes posting 50+ times a day.
His salient trait is that he wants to control the narrative by queue flooding but claim “it’s just an article, I didn’t write it and have no opinion”.
The reason he feels attacked is because he made an absolute ass of himself and his inauthentic behavior became very obvious and got called out over and over again (this is when he was a staunch Socialist supporting Jill Stein)
I guess I didn’t realize that he floods these communities…
I was just struck by a conservation I had with a family member recently that made me want to start commenting on these communities. I was telling the family member about Lemmy/Mastodon and urged them to join but they said their “crowd” was on X. I did realize certain articles posted to conservative communities get down voted to oblivion while the same article on a news community will get hundreds of up votes.
I want the fediverse to be open to all even those with differing opinions…
What makes you think OP is operating several accounts? Why flood such dead communities?
His interaction and writing style is easy to recognize, under a previous username he boasted about having dozens of accounts and using them to flood/control narratives, and he posts literally identical links seconds apart under different accounts - easy to correlate.
I get what you’re saying but at the same time, it is much easier to tear things down then build them up. If you fire everyone that manages social security for example, it will be very difficult/costly to train up all new people. This isn’t some policy that can just be reversed and that’s the end of it. I’ll reiterate, I truly think think the damage being done will lower the standard of living for Americans for generations to come and that really saddens me.

In my personal opinion, yes.

Meh, if what he is doing is so bad, and enough people think that, then in four years vote in a dem who can change it all back.

And I disagree.
