Why should someone’s political views “piss someone folks off”?
It would be the “I’m a socialist but nearly all my posts are pro-Trump” bit I think. The ball of contradictions.
But also, supporting someone who is setting up new internment , uh deportation, no, concentration camps, among other actions that are kicking the legs out from under our nation and causing the deaths of innocents would be a decent reason to be pissed off about someone’s political views.
I appreciate your honesty. Especially in these times. I respect and support your right to disregard me and move on.
I’ll probably wait until I can find the right quip to post. The point of it is along the lines of “all views deserve equal consideration only if you don’t actually look at the content of some of those views.” Because you seem to think you’re just playing fair, when what you are actually doing is supporting the up and coming dictatorial fascist regime.
And in reply to one of your other questions - all conservatives and republicans may not be fascist bigots, but it’s also clearly not a problem for them that their elected representatives are. That’s pretty much enough for me to know what I need to know about them.
I’m not supporting anything of the sort. I am posting links to news articles that are published by major news orgs. I don’t write the articles, and I’ve never said I support everything in the articles.
If you post an article by AP News or Reuters about someone who hates Luigi, does that mean you subscribe to that point of view?
I also post news about earthquakes and ufo’s and tornado’s. Does that mean I support all of these things?
I post news articles that I think are interesting.
If I were a conservative, then why wouldn’t I just say that?
People are already annoyed by me. I already have calls to ban me. So admitting I am a conservative wouldn’t change any of that.
In other words, I have no reason to lie.
And even if I were conservative, there is no law or rule against that. Trump won the election. Does that mean the US is full of nazis? No.
There are already thousands of anti-trump articles on Lemmy. Me posting ones few that don’t paint him in an unflattering light isn’t going to end the world.
Now having said all that, you are certainly welcome to disagree with me and block me. I have no issue with that. I am merely defending myself against false accusations.
I also created and mod community for Socialist Workers Party–who I voted for in the election by the way. I also host a mastadon account for them and an x.com account for them. And I have had my views published in their paper. So by your argument that I post things that I must agree with, then that means I agree with Socialism. Correct?
Meh, I actually don’t take Lemmy very seriously. I’m a retired dude that thinks it’s interesting. I fuck around on here until I decide what to do with my day.
It’s not my identity though, so not tiring for me at all. I think some of the nerds here are WAY too invested in what gets posted on a little-known online forum.
It’s fun and all, but I don’t think it’s very important to real life at all lol

Thanks, friend!
Means it’s full of people who are cool with us heading that way. Have some quips, though still not the one I was looking for.
Do you roll out the red carpet for them and explicitly say you are helping them?
Nope, not cool.
Nope. And I haven’t done that for Trump either.
I DID say that for the Socialist Workers Party tho, and I’m setting up a local office in my city for them.
Like I said, walking contradictions. It’s tiring.
