I wish I could include this screenshot from a Reddit thread as my bio pic.
I guarantee you that all of those Trump voters still blame liberals/Democrats for the denial of disaster aid.
When people say to vote for Republicans and Trump is to vote against your own interests, this seems like a pretty good example of what that likely means.

I don’t use social media to argue about politics with strangers.
I use social media to talk to people about fish.
When I talk about fish on Bluesky, people ask me questions about fish.
When I talk about fish on Twitter, people threaten to murder my family because we’re Jewish.

"Bluesky is an echo chamber."
"Bluesky doesn't have enough reach"
"Liberals must return to X to challenge the far right"
I'm not a tech bro or a journalist. Your priorities are not my priorities. Stop telling me I need to do anything other than chat about comics & telly with people who seem nice.

In terms of US politics, Bush v. Gore is the defining event of the century. It set the template: a ruthless right that instinctively seeks power & doesn't give a shit about rule of law...and a bunch of hapless, feckless octogenarian Dems worried about the good opinion of centrist opinion columnists.
The 25th anniversary of Bush v Gore is today. The conspiracy mongering & corruption of the GOP has been brewing for a long time.
Roberts, Barrett and Kavanaugh were all on Bush's legal team, where they pushed unfounded legal theories. SC justices were already enmeshed in voter fraud myths.

I encounter people who seem to have lost touch with the concept of being a physical presence in a three dimensional space. Their body being present in, say, a doorway, while they stare at their phone cannot occur to them. Everyone is now the only human who exists. Seems bad.
Can't remember if it was this bad before COVID but I'm seeing an alarming spreading of what I'll call Airport Behavior to other public places. Obliviousness to other people's existence, ineptitude at navigating the environment. "Is this your first time at the grocery store" type stuff

There's this part of me that's mad at FIFA and Apple, etc, but I also can't really blame them. If you know that all you have to do is flatter a corrupt president and give him gifts and he'll do whatever you want and no one will ever be held accountable...I dunno. Go for it.

Guys, there's PLENTY of non-hateful reasons to have nooses around. It can just be a simple way to say "thinking about you"!
Get ready for swastika and noose swag everywhere! Swastika and noose diamond jewelry! Sweatshirts! Hats! Comforter sets! What a shithole country we are.
U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols
The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

this take gets annoying as a southerner. you should not give up on the south, but no, it is not red because of voter suppression or a lack of funding for dems. doug jones raised shitloads of money and lost. it is red because the overwhelming majority are extremely racist white conservatives
I understand why a lot of white liberals are like, fuck the south, because they think about the people in power who are mostly white conservatives. But that is only because of Jim Crow, voter suppression, a lack of real funding for Dems there

Doesn’t this also apply the other way around, though? Ask for consistency, yes, but don’t call it out unless you’re also going to be consistent.
