    I mean…I almost said “since when are facts unpopular opinions?”

    But then I realized…

    He’s got a point…facts…are unpopular opinions nowadays!

          You joke, but apparently Trump did actually try to get Musk to buy his garbage barge of a social media site

            Musk has a string of businesses that he buys, starts to run, and then drives them into the ground. Buying a business that is already driven into the ground is a new one,

      That’s exactly what it is. It should be downvoted into oblivion (even though it’s likely true). It’s a weird form of karma whoring in a community which should be smart enough to not encourage the behavior

    And Israel, and corporate lobbies (fossil fuels, pharma, privatized healthcare/prisons/education etc), and homophobes, and white supremacists, and the hyper religious who want to remove separation of church and state, and… To be fair, some of those apply to both major political parties, but the Republicans in particular seem to be hell-bent on compromising themselves. And let’s not leave out that they decided (by a large margin) that their “best” candidate is a fraudulent insurrectionist sex offender who has publicly stated his desire to be dictator.

      Let’s not forget all of those who should be politically neutral from the low level staff in the DOJ up to SCOTUS. I hope the majority just do their job without political tilt, but that line is absolutely being blurred. I’m sure many people will start pointing to Thomas as an example, not a cautionary tale.

    Is this post part of a meta trend of making obvious statements as though they were unpopular opinions?

      It’s going to turn to r/unpopularopinion with at best an interesting but reasonable take and at worse a very mundane agreeable opinion.

    Don’t let them off that easy. They are not victims of some KGB style program or espionage trickery. They did this to themselves. They chose this knowing full well what they were doing.

    They are willing allies of Russia.

    Facts. This is just facts. Not even unpopular facts really, maybe something most people don’t realize.
