Oh, I'm not conservative. I didn't vote for Trump.

Sure, I AM laughing that you all lost to him, but I didn't vote for him.

I also didn't vote for the joke Democrat party.

I voted socialist. I'm a socialist, friend. Thanks!

I'm smart that way!

Who's the president right now? Keep drinking copium, but he won.

Thanks. You know it's funny to me tho, you sit there all high and mighty, mocking other people.

But you fucking lost the election to Trump. Of all people, you lost to Trump. So apparently there are more people who disagree with you than there are who agree with you.

Funny how that works, huh?

But hey, you are smarter than everyone else, right? How'd that work out for ya?

Awesome. Thank you, brother! I kinda wanna use it in my profile! lmao

No, as a poster, I post what I find interesting.

This isn't a job. This isn't some reference-checking, fact-checking news org. It's fucking lemmy. We post shit we find interesting.

It's up to YOU if you wanna know more.

I couldn't care less if Lemmy likes me or not. Thanks, friend! :)

it doesn’t take much to ruffle a couple hive-mind feathers.

Very true!

I don't care what Lemmy thinks of me. I'll post what I want, when I want, where I want. Thanks! People are free to downvote all they want. Won't stop me.

Thanks, friend!

I don't know. I'm just posting what he posted. Not my role to fact-check. Thanks!

So because of my supposed support of someone on the opposite side of the political aisle as you, that "earns" the ire of Lemmy?

So do you want Lemmy to be an echo-chamber and only like what you like? You don't support diversity of opinions and thought?

And actually I'm a socialist. I didn't vote for Trump.

And your post and your attitude 100 percent confirm the accuracy of my reply to the other user. lmao

Thanks, friend!

Lots of people on Lemmy will automatically downvote anything that's about Trump that isn't immediately negative. Often times without even reading it.

And many do the same with my username. So the double-whammy effect results in a fair amount of downvotes. lol

And my day job until just a few months ago was special education teaching assistant in an elementary school in a disadvantaged neighborhood. I recently retired from working in the public sector for 20 years.

Feel free to check my post history from the .world instance from months ago, when I was still teaching there. I spoke of my career often.

Guess we are more alike than different, friend. Funny how that works, huh?

Hmm, do you think it fits under a nsfw category? There is no blood or overt sexuality. It's more of a surreal artwork. Obviously it's unsettling, but I don't know if it counts as NSFW. I'm fine if the mods feel it should be marked that way though.

probably people didn’t get to their cubicles in the U.S. yet

Actually it's Monday evening here in the US. So the cubicle crowd has come and gone already today. Thank you!

I'm not on the losing side at all.

I'm not sure what you mean by "tag shit like this" so you can "avoid" it. There is no way, nor is there a reason, for me to do that. Feel free to clarify what you mean. Are there other people who "tag" their posts just so you will have a reason to avoid looking at it? Can you provide some examples of this?

If you just block me and/or this community, you won’t see my posts.

The post is announcing the pick for one of the top CIA positions. The title of the post CLEARLY and ACCURATELY stated the contents. From a well-known and publicly discussed media platform: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truth_Social

This post was posted to my own community which I created and mod.

Friend, you’re on the losing side here. Give it up.

Thanks!

playing a victim card

Friend, you called me a baboon. Because I posted something you didn't like.

Besides the fact that any name-calling is uncalled for, you chose that term. You know the racial undertones of words like that.

Cheers mate, hope things improve for you in the future when presented with struggles.

I'm retired, debt-free, healthy, in my 50's, and living a great life. I love my life and outlook. So no worries there. :)

Wow. Just wow. I'm biracial, and you're calling me a baboon!? Really!?

Feel good about yourself? Think about your words. You can dislike my posts and my opinions and you can block me.

But please refrain from name calling.

Reported you due to racism. Yuck.

Tag it how? It's an announcement about a political post for CIA department.

Which the title of the post CLEARLY and accurately stated.

If you just block me and/or this community, you won't see my posts.

Thanks, friend!

Reality is bleak for some. And every generation has had a portion of the population who thinks everything is bleak.

We are no more or less special than previous generations.

IMO you have the obligation to create the environment that allows what you have (an existence without worry for politics) for everyone.

So what are you doing that's creating that type of environment for me and others?

You’re basically saying ‘my life is secure; fuck everybody else that hasn’t got what I have’.

Not what I'm saying at all. I'm saying that if an idiot like me, with very few work skills, made it, then you certainly can because you have more advantages than I have had.

I also had a child to raise, so even if you count in costs of living differences between then and now, it's negated by the fact that I had a kid to care for.

Bruh, I live in a city of over 500,000 people. The majority of people I see are not "just struggling." People are doing it. Are you saying all of them have had it easier than yourself?

Right now as I type this, there is a group of 10 road crew guys working on the curbs of my street. Hard, miserable, dirty work. They make more than I ever did. And their out there, laughing, doing their work and just going on with their lives.

I was never even skilled enough to do construction work. I promise that right now, you have more stuff and more skills than I have ever had.

And I'd trade my paid-for house for your youth any fucking day. But not your mindset. This will sound offensive, but I do believe your mindset is holding you back more than anything else.

By the way, my kid is your age. Lives three blocks from me with his gf, and one roommate. And he's getting by.

Lifting our noses off the grindstone and looking at the horizon shows a future without hope of any of this changing. Too much stacked against us.

No, I don't believe that. I 100 percent think you can overcome and kick ass in life and be way more successful than I have ever been.

Keep pushing. You got this!
