Political Memes

i didnt know about Lemmy but i found hexbear first, and most of the stuff there was about how much they hate liberals and love Stalin. Several domains about dunking on liberals. For every emote like frothingfash theres twenty about liberal figures they hate as well as one or two about their favorite communist-backed mass killing.

i am in no way a fan of mainstream liberal politics or big D Democrats. much of the political media I consume is deeply critical of Democrats and their strategies, but is also capable of doing the same to conservatives and the GOP. Lemmy ml and hexbear don't even appear to attempt to pretend about fighting conservative politics outside of vaguely actionable physical threats, meanwhile the 2024 presidential election was won by threadbare percentage points due to barely anyone actually voting. i understand not wanting to vote for Democrats considering their bad policies and genocide supporting, but there is such a thing as harm reduction, and now all the people who pushed people to not vote for Democrats are getting shipped off to blacksites by the Republicans. Can I say for certain that tankies and the like helped get Trump elected, either by accident or on purpose? No. But you certainly didn't help him NOT win!
