What regulations?

What you’re saying isn’t in doubt, but it doesn’t fit the pattern of what I’m describing. Ofc there are people who oppose the Israel/Palestine war. I never said no one opposed it. I also never said I was for it.

The point of the description is there was a deluge. Daily multiples across forums, subs, endless. The deluge abruptly stopped on Nov 5. The genocide didn’t stop on Nov 5, but the endless fury of posts across social media did.

I understand that no one likes to face or feel manipulation, but there it is.

Yeah. We’re pretty much over as a country.

Maybe take a moment to watch Jon Oliver’s “AI Slop” show from 2? weeks ago.

I strongly suspect the endless spam of Pakistan/Israel horror posts across Lemmy and Reddit last year that abruptly cut off on Nov 5 was more of the same.

It’s a free show. With the right people it’s good, but I understand your feeling.

MAGAs are the gun owners. Mostly.

This is why I worry. It’s likely correct in that we’re heading for fallout. But here we are.

This is not my area. I’ve simply consumed a lot of Heather Cox Richardson. She’s a Harvard educated American History professor. Posts on YT. Not very popular last check.

It’s calm, historical perspective which I rather enjoy.

Here’s another issue. Can we believe any of the numbers being posted on federal .gov sites any more?

I’ve been reading a lot about the inception of the welfare Queen idea, as pushed by Reagan first in California and then in our government as a whole ever since. So I initially started reading this as Trump numbers to support that nonsense.

I want to believe it is what it says it is, a warning sign to us all.

He started that evil welfare queen idea back in California. It gained traction there so he continued to use it on the national side.
