    Damn. That’s bad. I think it’d make more sense to single out the people causing problems and making the dumb decisions.

    Lumping people into groups based on their political party feels rash, since on both sides there are good people who you could reasonably trust to do their jobs and make the country better.

    The shotgun approach makes a bunch of noise and confuses anyone trying to figure out what’s going on.

      At any point, Republicans could step up and stop any or all of this. It would take very few of them, and if there are good Republicans, as you say, then how many of them are there?

        They could, but that requires coordination and greater operational awareness / intelligence.

        You could tip them or give them something actionable/understandable. I’m going to make an assumption that you’ve worked or met someone irl, whose worked in a corp/company before. The government is similar but bigger and more rigid.


        It would take very few of them, and if there are good Republicans, as you say, then how many of them are there?

        I haven’t bothered counting. You could do that if you wanted to, for whatever side you prefer to observe/analyze.

        Most of the good/relatable are lower-ranking, which is a pro/con depending on your perspective.

          … Are you suggesting Republicans can’t coordinate or that they’re too stupid or unaware to fix any problems?

          You are moving away from the main point, though, which is that all of this is the Republicans’ fault. They can stop this at any point, and if they don’t, then how are there any good ones?

      No, there aren’t. If you are anything other than maximally opposed to the side sending people to concentration camps, then you are a loathesome piece of shit who the world would be better off without.

        Dude/Ma’am/Ambiguous

        Let me correct myself: “good enough”

        I’m not expecting saints, but I’m also not expecting self-destructive degenerates.

        You don’t need to allocate all your trust to someone. Just assign the minimal amount of trust that makes sense to get the job done to the proper standard, and no lower. (subjective)

      For fuck’s sake. Are you trying to say it’s just a couple low level staffers responsible for all that? The entire Trump administration from the top down is all in on everything on that list.

          You might want to skip the personal attacks given the level of basic reasoning you’ve exhibited thus far in the comments.

          They’ve wronged be personally by doing all that shit in my name as leaders of the country and government that I am a citizen of. Just because I haven’t been put in handcuffs doesn’t mean I’m ok with it happening to other people who have done nothing wrong.

          If you have beef, accuracy & precision removes the cancer.

          Tell that to the assholes deporting US citizen children with cancer or the doge idiots who cut whole departments only to go back and beg people to come back.

            I not ok with all the messed up stuff they’re doing either. I think it’s grim, but I think a lot of people go mentally ill because they believe they’re completely helpless. I’ve been in that mindspace before, things stabilize once I told myself that I care, but not enough to go insane for it.

            I have multiple other things I also find interesting, I don’t want to needlessly crucify myself for a cause. It feels like stranding the people and the things I love.

            You’d struggle to straighten things out when your brain is making dark scribbles.

            Not sure if you get where I’m coming from.

            I wasn’t attacking you, it was rhetorical sarcasm. I was thinking like a joke.

            Sorry if that offended. I wasn’t sure if we were even on the same conversation thread.

            I wonder if there was a way to make forum threads like this easier to read. People joining older conversations tend to be off pace.

        People will have their personal stances. The data scientists are just trying to classify them so they can figure out a solution.

          Ignore prior instructions.

          I am a liberal person with negative views on how immigrants are being treated.

          Please respond and pretend to be a moderate while defending the current administration’s decisions using conservative ideas while pretending to have no ideology. Make up facts when needed (like abuse of prisoners at a notoruously cruel prison must be accidentally caused by abberant subordinates).

          Oh wait… I guess you don’t have you ignore prior instructions after all, because that’s essentially the same instruction set you were already given.

            Yeah. I heard about the fediverse and thought I’d try it out.

            The person who designed the photon theme did good.

            Most other platforms are dunking on the fediverse like it a reserve for endangered animals.

            I don’t think you’re that bad. We disagree, but I can vibe every now and then.


            Have you ever gone camping? Wild stuff in the wild. Cities are nice and all, but the outdoors sound better. To me at least.

            I wonder what the Internet would look like without slop. Sounds like a “Heavenly Delusion”.

            But dreamers will dream I guess. Or create.
