Don’t talk to the police. The only person that will help you is your lawyer.

Can’t imagine it’ll take more than a couple hours. Seeing as your comment is 3 hours old… it’s probably over.

Canada will commit to exporting up to one million metric tons of liquefied natural gas a year from a terminal on its Pacific Coast in British Columbia to Germany, starting in the early 2030s, for a two-decade horizon.

Do it.

And both sides same!

Me: vote.

You: why are you telling people not to vote?

Unreal.

I agree, but I put it more down to Fox et al than the social contract.

I would change it to: " The same people who voted for Obama to show how “Not racist” they were, because they were open to the idea of being not racist suddenly became furious that he won were bombarded by Fox how terrible Obama was and how horrible Democrats were. And they slowly but surely absorbed that message. "

Fox went absolutely apeshit after Obama was elected, they wanted to do everything they could to bring him down in any way they could. And their rhetorical techniques are good at appealing to people (inb4 lemmy’s seeming misreading, it’s disgusting, but I observe that it works).

It’s a little disjointed because I edited in the first paragraph, but yes it does respond to what you said.

Do you want a line by line breakdown? Ok.

We’re not talking about the right, though; we’re talking about the left and center.

Agreed. And guess what? The right wing’s propaganda machine has reached the center. That’s the whole point. 18 years of hardcore propaganda has reached the center. That’s the point of propaganda.

You know, the people who voted for Obama,

You don’t have do go very far to find “my dad was the greatest, didn’t care if people were black” EDIT AT ADD: “and voted for Obama”. And those people changed to, well, I won’t repeat much of the Qanon.

There’s a whole sub for it, remember? QanonCasualties. People that were formely center or Obama voters that got suckered in. That’s the point of propaganda, to spread the message, to increase their voters.

Why even care what the right thinks?

The whole point of propaganda is to reach other people. So it’s not what the right thinks, it’s how the people that were formerly center that have been suckered in to the right’s propoganda will vote.

Sure, but that cuts both ways.

No it doesn’t cut both ways because left media is beholden to the truth, and right wing media can do whatever they want. They lie their ass off. They twist. They appeal to easy emotions like fear and anger. The left media can’t do that.

The most popular “news” source is what? Fox.

You are missing everything. Like fucking everything.

DYK 7-Eleven originally indicated the hours it was open. 7 am to 11 pm.

You think I’m trying to fearmonger, or that I’m ??? in favor??? of it? Lol no. I’m baffled how you can even read that.

I am observing that the right wing media has been going nuts for the last 18 years. We can’t ignore that. And the whole point is that it’s not limited to the right wing audience, they got their message to the masses.

That didn’t respond to anything I wrote. The right wing media went nuts and it worked. For 18 years. We can’t act like those 18 years of propaganda didn’t change anything because it did.

But anyway to respond to what you wrote, I think the best way to address this is you’re looking at the parties, while I’m looking at the votes.

Hilary said she’d a map room to (read, go to war on) fight climate change. The left never came out. Biden went to good old politics. Won. Kamala relied on woman’s rights. The left never came out. Guess what will happen next time? They will not rely on the left. They will go after the center. The center that actually shows up. (Also see my other comment.)

My point was about the last 18 years of right wing propaganda. We can’t act like it didn’t happen and that we’re in the same place as 2008. Like it or not racism has revived. Talking about mass deportation was unimaginable back then. And now it was a major platform that won.

You don’t have do go very far to find “my dad was the greatest, didn’t care if people were black” to, well, I won’t repeat much of the Qanon. There’s a whole sub for it, remember? QanonCasualties. That’s the point of propaganda, to spread the message, to increase their numbers. And no it doesn’t cut both ways because left media is beholden to the truth, and right wing media can do whatever they want. And they do. And they grow. Most popular “news” source is what? Fox. You are missing everything. Like fucking everything.

Except when Obama was elected the right lost their ever loving minds. And Fox went off the deep end. The entire right wing propaganda machine has gone nuts for the last 18 years and unfortunately it worked. Acting like it’s currently the environment of 2008 is blind.

Doesn’t really need “enforcement”. It’s whenever the IRS feels the need to audit/etc Trump or his family, they can.

I assume this will be challenged and found illegal. Anyone have industry knowledge?

"While I very much wanted to be with my son, Don Jr., and the newest member of the Trump Family, his soon to be wife, Bettina, circumstances pertaining to Government, and my love for the United States of America, do not allow me to do so. I feel it is important for me to remain in Washington, D.C., at the White House during this important period of time. Congratulations to Don and Bettina! President DONALD J. TRUMP,” the president wrote Friday on Truth Social.

Surrender to Iran. Distract with deposing Cuba.

“it was understood locally to be a threat” my ass.

Does anyone actually reach those numbers? Is this a crackdown on bots?

I never understood Hitler or fascism until Trump came along.

Dictatorship comes from the top down. Fascism is when people want to give dear leader their power. They are happy to rule/act for dear leader without orders.
