Running away is 100% what I would like you to do. As a community, each of you individually, whatever makes you feel better or gets you farther away.

Of course you would. I am totally aware that you all want this to be an echo-chamber with no diversity of opinion.
But that’s exactly why you lost the election AND why you all were so surprised that you lost. Because you refuse to pay any attetion to anyone who disagrees with you.
We’re not going anywhere. Maybe a new instance, but Lemmy is going to have conservatives on it. Accept it.
Or not. I don’t care either way.

You misunderstood, I’ve never wanted this to be an echo chamber. I came here looking for conversations but found that the echo chamber was already well established. I want the echo chamber and it’s supporters to fuck ALL the way off.
Please find a post anywhere in this community with a diverse opinion, god knows you never posted anything that tried to pop the bubble. It’s boot licking and cruelty all the way down.

Agreed. So do you think a conservative community is the only echo-chamber on Lemmy?
PapaSkwat@lemy.lol 1 month ago
I’m done entertaining you. Conservative communities on multiple instances are some of the most downvoted places in all of Lemmy because of their absolute refusal to be open minded in the face of actual Nazi-ism and fascism. Any such place should be unwelcome anywhere.

All the posts are conservative, but the comments are supposed to be dissenting.

Nobody has a problem with Conservatism, it’s the people actively supporting Nazis that don’t deserve a place. You didn’t vote for someone that’s currently supporting nazis, by any chance, did you?

So are you saying over half of America actively suppor Nazis? Cuz Trump won. And if you couldn’t win against a “nazi supporter” what does that say about the Democratic party?

Yes.

I mean, have you heard of 1930s Germany? Do you think it’s somehow impossible for a large portion of a nation (not half as you suggested) to be misled and manipulated into something horrible? Because it has literally happened before. All you really need is for a populist with no moral compass to take advantage of desperate people by playing to their hate and fear. Enter Donald Trump.

We lost because the Republican party is REALLY good at running fear-based disinformation campaigns and a lot of Americans are not very smart and easily influenced.
Buddy, unless you’re extremely wealthy, we’re all going the same place together, which is down. We can hold hands if you want.

I disagree. I think they totally suck at it. I think the democrats just sucked worse. And many “on-the-fence” folks got tired of Democrats talking down to them and making fun of them just because they weren’t 100 percent on board with every dem idea.
And in fact, many democrat strategist have said the same thing since the election and are asking that Democrats lose some of the ego and elitism in order to turn things around the next election. And i agree with them.
Lemmy sure hasn’t learned from that mistake tho. I see many on Lemmy just outright making fun of anyone who didn’t vote for Harris–even if they voted a third party.
I honestly think you all need to lose another election for you to learn your lesson.

So they voted for an anti-democratic felon rapist who incited and insurrection and illegally attempted to overturn an election because Dems were being mean to them? Wow, they sound stupid as fuck.
I mean, you have to be pretty goddamn stupid to vote 3rd party in a presidential election. The 3rd party candidate with the most votes was magician Jill Stein, who magically appears right before every election, then disappears again. And she got a whopping HALF OF A SINGLE PERCENT of the total votes cast. So there’s literally no way a 3rd party can win, so it’s pretty stupid to vote for them when democracy is on the line.
I honestly think you need a much better education than what you have thus far received.

Yeah, I’m going to continue bashing people who voted for fascism. I don’t care why they did it, they had all the information and now our government owns us. Congrats, you got what you voted for. I hope you enjoy the hell you helped create before you get sent to the real one, bitch.
