    Gutting the education system was a terrible idea.

    How do you figure? We have millions of ignorant voters reliant on politicians to tell them how to feel. Without this, there would be no Republican Party.

    In a better world, the cops would have given a shit and tracked down the assholes threatening a TV meteorologist.

    “It was ‘I am going to kill you’ written in a very deliberate way in a long letter and followed by obsessive emails,” said Gloninger. His critic demanded that he “go the hell back to where you came from DOUCHEBAG!!!” and demanded “what’s your home address, we conservative Iowans would like to give you an Iowan welcome you will never forget.” The emails attacked Gloninger for pushing a “liberal conspiracy theory on the weather”, calling climate change a “Biden hoax”.

    I think a lot of the current wave of cop hate in the US is driven by state actors on social media. The Kremlin and CCP want to exacerbate tensions in the US and Europe, so they develop extremism on social media in order to divide people.

    Remember back when conservatives called the left “unhinged”?

    Conservatives may not believe in climate change, but climate change definitely believes in them, we're all fucked and these idiots are an anchor around our necks.

    As someone with family from Iowa, there really is a point we have to realize you can't fix stupid and do something about it before we find out Idiocracy was a documentary.

    Welcome to Iowa, a backwards shithole run by fascists. You know it's bad because Desantis said he would consider Reynolds for running mate. An endorsement like that speaks volumes.

    Wait, oh, this post went through. I was going to post it and then gave up as it does not fully qualify as "news", oh well.

    I think it's news, but maybe not worldnews? Like an Iowa meteorologist getting death threats is notable, but I worry worldnews is going to end up just being American internal politics along with all the other news communities.

    Please only post links to actual news sources, no tabloid sites, etc

    You don't consider The Guardian an actual news source?

    If you think you're of average intelligence, there are at least 160 million americans that are dumber than you.

    I've gotten death threats and stalked before. I still am stalked. It's pretty weird. Definitely have PTSD from it. The whole ordeal has been pointless. Cops don't even care when I ask for help.

    Hey I think they're basically supporting what you're saying with a kind of rueful sarcasm. As in "not only are you correct that the we're in a shitty state of things, but worse still it's been that way for a long time."

    Wow he got a death threat in an email, which also asked for his address lmao.

    Poor guy. First day on the internet must be tough.

    If you receive a death threat that you think is real, you contact the police and the FBI. But considering that the man who was threatening him didn't even know his address, I struggle to think how he thought it was an actionable threat.
