      My parents are in that group. They say everything you hear bad about Trump is a lie and fake news.

          Someone in my neighborhood has a sign up in their yard that says “Thank you President Trump”. I for the life of me cannot think of a single thing he has done that’s even remotely improved the lives of the average person.

          I’m genuinely curious what these people think Trump has done that’s so fantastic that they need to put a sign out to thank him. Their reality must be completely batshit crazy.

              Justify? I don’t understand the question…

              They simply do not bother trying.

              It’s pretty soul crushing when it’s your parents.

        I know people like that. Thousands of cases of fake news is way more likely to them than it obviously just being true. It’s maddening.

          Actually I think a LOT of people who like what is happening think that the US democracy is at risk, and what is happening now is the solution to that risk, which absolutely sucks.

            Including so called “leftists” on Lemmy who think that accelerating all of this is a good idea because they’re under some insane notion that rebuilding from the rubble is easier/better?

            So goddamn fucking stupid.

                I wonder how many of them would even understand this reference. They don’t seem very educated on world history.
