If another four years of Trump and the threat of project 2025 wasn’t enough to make these people do the bare minimum it would have taken to stop it, I honestly don’t see how a few empowered speeches will do more than jack-shit to motivate them.

I wish it were different, but we’re taking about a group of people who have a proven track record of stopping short of walking the walk.

Progressives: Well, we all showed up at the same place at the same time. Did we win?

People can be divided into two groups on the subject:

One consists of people who have incredibly short attention spans,

…and the other- people that think their country is the only one that exists.

My comment could be said for any one belonging to either of these two groups. The geography location of their ignorance is irrelevant.

And my point from the get-go is that no one cares that she’s got no expertise, she’s his DAUGHTER. This is why the story is relevant and people are interested.

It’s just an added bonus to point out to you that if you look around, you’ll notice that no one gave a shit how you feel about it.

Nope. This is true. And no one asked you to get butthurt about an article and whine about it either, but here we are.

Well, I mean…

Personally, I think laughing at someone for being butthurt about an article that uses Elon’s daughter as a reference to lend credibility to Elon Musk being a fucking Nazi is less pathetic than someone being butthurt about an article that uses Elon’s daughter as a reference to lend credibility to Elon Musk being a fucking Nazi.

But that is just my personal opinion.

Well said. It really seems that a lot of people are finding out how much easier to say things from afar, then would be to say those same things up close.

Weirdly, I’d bet that if you drew a radius with America being ground zero, you’d find that the further away you got- the easier people would think it should be to fix everything.

Dunno… brexit sucked and from here- a lot of people that probably could have stopped it seemed pretty weak. Not the same, I get it- but if you can answer one, you might understand the other.

Apologia is fun! isn’t it?

Wait. Isn’t this the thing Führer Trump said he didn’t know anything about?

Let’s get this straight:

The president of America- publicly threatened a state governor, and it’s on record.

When exactly is the military going to roll up on the White House to drag this child out by his collar and put him in prison?

Most of the far lefters I’ve seen around here are in the “both sides!” camp.

You clearly seem to think because something was effective in the past- it automatically defaults to being effective in the present.

I’d recommend you learn why we no longer prescribe cigarettes to help asthma sufferers like we did back in the 50’s.

I’d also recommend you learn the difference between Russia in the early 20th century and America in the present.

And whether it’s mainstream media, or a random nobody on lemmy stating an opinion- most people will disregard it if they either don’t care about, or disagree with it.

So now, having said this- take a guess who you think should care more about your opinion here than that of Elon Musk’s daughter elsewhere in a news article:

Hint- If you guess “no one,” you’d be correct.

(I’d also accept “both can be either relevant or irrelevant based on the interest of the reader and shouldn’t be subject to scrutiny just because you think it shouldn’t be stated”)

lol… your obsession with this has reached a comical level of absurdity.

Seriously? … it’s an article that is simply stating that his own daughter agrees with the experts. Why is this such a fucking problem for you?

Go find a hobby.

Well said. And poignant!

It’s worked out so well for them so far. The left organizing themselves into anything useful and productive, historically can be compared to cats herding cats.

For someone who is in another thread attacking someone for having an opinion on something you feel they aren’t relevant enough to have anyone to care about their opinion of,

You sure do have a lot of opinions.

…. And you are?
