    I don’t think people are “on my ass today” at all. I think you’re mad and you’re lashing out because you feel powerless.

    I’m not the guy who you should be mad at, friend. Trump won both the electoral vote and the popular vote.

    Seems like you have a lot of work to do. Thanks.

      I am specifically taking issue with your conduct in this thread. You, personally, are saying indefensible things, regarding this severe looming threat. Your aggressive apathy is not neutral.

      Sneering “touch grass” doesn’t even make sense - this is real life. People will die. This dangerous moron, this animal-corpse enthusiast with li-ter-al brain worms, will damage civic health. His mere public presence has harmed some people’s trust in medicine… as a concept.

      Putting such an unambiguous nutjob in charge of the nation’s healthcare structure is not a “guess we’ll see!” situation.

      And here you are posting a libertarian rag stroking its chin about whether the impending shit-storm will burn down the right parts of the federal government. Then you feign ignorance of what he’s plainly going to do, given half a chance, and what it’s plainly going to impact, given half a thought. The brick is falling and you’re staring intently - wondering what’s gonna happen to your toes.

        What? Such as?

        Friend, your anger and attitude suggest that you probably should block this community. It’s not worth it to get so worked up over a fucking Lemmy community that you can just opt out of.

        All I said was that RFK hasn’t been put in charge of anything yet. And I have no idea what will happen, so I won’t make a judgment until something does.

        That’s not “aggressive apathy.” That’s common sense. We don’t even know if he’ll actually end up in the position.

        I didn’t vote for Trump, nor did I vote for his administration. But I’m still not going to jump on the “holy shit, the world is gonna end!” bandwagon.

        I have a wait-and-see attitude. I make no apologies for it. You disagree, and that’s fine. But to say that I’m being aggressive in this thread is incorrect.

          Such as:

          And I have no idea what will happen, so I won’t make a judgment until something does. […] That’s common sense.

          Common sense is not dropping a brick on your foot. “Common sense” is shorthand for expecting the fucking obvious. That’s what makes it common.

          If you put a medicine-denying crank in charge of medicine - that’s gonna go badly, for medicine. Obviously. Pretending it’s ambiguous is actively harmful. It’s tantamount to ‘Nevermind what he’s said and done so far, let’s give this Hitler guy a chance!’ Yeah yeah yeah you didn’t vote for him, I never asked, I don’t care. This is about what you keep saying right here in this thread - no matter how badly you want to project emotion onto me, as a means of dismissing that criticism.

          You are promoting sane-washing of a dangerous idiot. You chose this article. You posted this article. You defend this article. Yet when people point out, it’s nonsense, they’re liars, and he’s a loon - ‘oh well, who’s to say, shrug.’ That’s bullshit. There’s no excuse.
