Bos has two daughters, with a third due in January. At the grocery store, five items cost as much as a full cart once did. And on Wednesday, Bos and nearly 1,400 other people were laid off from their jobs at what had been the Navistar truck factory in southwestern Ohio.
Asked how many times he had voted for Trump, Bos held up three tattooed fingers. But he said he’s done with the president.
Misinformation too.
Remember, none of us, even those of us on Lemmy, have ingested the same news and headlines.
Sure, there are shared overlaps in forums like these or among those who, maybe, only listen to Tucker Carlson and branch out from there for their worldly info.
Never assume other people know what you know. Let go of the belief that all the egregious shit you’ve read on Trump has been read by everyone, because it hasn’t.
There is no central news. No shared headlines.
Just TikTok, social media & its algorithms, and whatever podcasts/YouTube/NewsChannel we sporadically choose to consume on a level that most often resembles TikTok consumption.
We need an easily-digestible highlight reel of Trump crimes to show people.
Oh please. Its obviously ai generated fake news from the evil dumocrats
The problem is that explaining just how bad even his first term was already takes nearly twelve hours. And his second term has been much, much worse.
It’s existed since he first announced running in like 2015. They do know about it and they don’t care.
Jordan Klepper has skits from the 2016 run through the attack on the capital where he would mingle with MAGAs when they gathered, because he looked like them. (Not much on the violent coup attempt, his fear in that crowd was evident, he grabbed footage at the edge then noped out).
He did get past the evade replies regarding bad things Trump was doing, occasionally, to the true reply which was exactly as you said: I don’t care.
We laugh at the evade replies because they’re so ridiculous, but the “I don’t care” is the real answer.
Exactly. We are so far beyond “do they know.” Imo these people should be culpable too to some degree. And I do have loved ones in the cult, which I’m sure we all do because it’s so massive.
We’re never going to get through this kind of shit if we keep giving fascists the benefit of the doubt. They will not give it to you and they applaud violence on innocent people, hate, inequality, etc.
There is no doubt on their side, why are we not listening to who these people are saying they are? They literally gloat about it. That’s what those hats became, very quickly. It’s a brag that they can be openly hateful now. Fuck that.
A lot of discussion/argument begins and ends with news source incompatibility so we don’t get down to “I don’t care” often.
In many cases, “I don’t care” really means “I don’t believe what you’re telling me but I don’t have the ability to refute it.”
I suspect the whole of it is a little of both.
I don’t care about the leopard as long as it’s not my face
agreed but that’s by choice. I read kiwi farms etc for that exact reason and occasionally they make a good point, but most of it is obviously bat shit insanity, or just plain bigotry
of course, how can we know everything ?, so we’re all selective but there’s even many in here that refuse to engage in politics because icky. Many folks say they filter any mention of him out of their feed, so they’ll be as uninformed as Bo and Luke Duke in this interview and yet I bet they won’t be uninformed and also vote for Trump.
There adults, if they drink, get drunk and then drive we blame them… but for some reason they make shitty political choices, not once (I could kind of understand that stupidity, it’s what got Regan elected) here but thrice and yet they still have people defending them.
