    Meh, I wouldn’t call someone a “disgusting shithead” just because they have different views than me.

    He’s got the right to change his mind. On the other hand, you have the right to call him a disgusting shithead too.

    I don’t mind him either way. Seems cool enough to me, regardless of his political stance.

    Thanks, amiko!

      When you’re this vocal against Trump for months in the media and you “rethink your views” this close to inauguration day, and the person you rethink your opinion of is on the verge of cranking the American fascism knob to 11, you’re a fucking disgusting shithead. And a shameless one at that.

        verge of cranking the American fascism knob to 11,

        But not everyone thinks that. I mean, he won the popular vote. I personally don’t judge someone just because of their political views.

        Maybe Charlamagne is doing it for clickbait-rage or something. Hey, everyone’s got their hustle. Lots of people have political views I don’t agree with, but I don’t call them names for it.

        Again, totally your right though. Just not the route I’d take.

          I personally don’t judge someone just because of their political views.

          I respect anybody until they cross certain lines. Trump crossed so many lines he looks like a human moire pattern.

          Maybe Charlamagne is doing it for clickbait-rage or something.

          If he does, it’s not classy.

          views I don’t agree with, but I don’t call them names for it.

          I agree that civility, restraint and respect of other people’s views are generally a sign of intelligent politicking. However, again, when certain lines are crossed, it’s time to call a cat a cat.

          My opinion is that we’re about to enter the darkest period in American history since the civil war, and when it ends and the day of reckoning comes, all these suck-ups, and the disgusting billionnaire oligarchs, and whoever didn’t speak up will have to answer for the crimes committed by the Trumpistas. You don’t want to be on the wrong side of history and now is the time to firmly decide which side you’re on.

          Today is America’s 1933 Germany. It’s that grave, and now is not the time to mince words.

            Today is America’s 1933 Germany.

            No it’s not. Nothing is gonna change much. And in 4 years, someone else will be voted in. The world won’t end. I promise.

              I can only hope you’re right. But it sure looks like history is repeating itself almost verbatim. And you know what they say: when it looks like shit and it smells like shit, it probably is shit…

                Nah, you are online too much. Lemmy is one huge echo chamber about how Trump is gonna destroy the world, he’s a nazi, etc. Heck, I get accused of being a nazi just because I didn’t vote for Harris. And I didn’t even vote for Trump! lmao

                I’ve read people who seriously think he’s going to line up gay people and shoot them or put them in work camps, how he’s gonna end presidential term limits and become a dictator, etc.

                By the way, these were the exact same things that happened last time he was president!

                He’s a dumbass. But so was Biden. We’ll be fine. I promise. Feel free to save this comment and come at me if I’m wrong.

                Thanks, amiko!

                    Sure, but while being on Lemmy, it’s easy to be bombarded by anti-Trump posts, posts that daily say “We’re losing the war. The capitalists won. World is gonna end within 4 years!” or variations of “I’m so sad. I’m afraid I’m gonna be put into a work camp and miss my mom and dad!” etc.

                    It’s freakin crazy what Lemmy people say.

                    Hey, maybe you thought all of that before Lemmy. But I’m old enough to have fucked your grandma when she was hot. I have seen these same reactions EVERY FUCKING ELECTION from opposing sides. Since I’ve been following politics in 1986.

                    And guess what? Nothing changes. Regardless of who’s in office. Same as it ever was. Just keep on doing and voting what’s best for you, ignore the haters, and carry on.
