even more reason to stop using American services.
Yet another day in Trump‘s world of “how can I make everyone’s life shittier? how can I HURT literally everyone on the planet for no good reason?”
Another day of republican philosophy in practice: cause pain just because
ISPs routinely advertise prices much lower than those actually charged to consumers on their monthly bills.
I wonder if there is any other countries where you will not know how much you'll have to pay for internet until after you've signed a contract.
Trump voters really voted to get scammed and a worst quality of life for everyone else lol. There is not one thing good this admin has done.
Fortunately I avoided the mistake of voting blue tho, bc Lemmy tankies told me the truth that bOtH sIdEs SaMe.

Let's see... They slowed down the war that they started in Iran. They released half of the Epstein files, just not the presumably 50% that directly implicate Trump. Trump fired Pam Bondi who he had appointed.
It's hard to think of anything good that they did that wasn't just toning down or backtracking of something bad that they had previously done.
Its literally just an abuse-manipulation tactic at that point.
Going overboard, then retreating back only slightly to give the false impression of being reasonable, when theyve already got what they want.
Throw it on the pile of shit that the public will never acknowledge, yes I know.
I don't want to disagree, but how about enabled the Charlie Kirk incident?
Nah. Had nothing directly to do with Trump. I say it's a wash.
But seriously, Trump voters need to think what that man has done to improve their lives in any way. I seriously can't think of a single thing.
Many people are sad, cruel, little monsters that are happy those people are being hurt.
It's really hard to change people like that so they're better. You gotta get them to see you as in-group, and slowly re-socialize them. Lot of work. Might not even succeed. But it's also apparently a whole bunch of crimes to round up the maga-hats and lock them in an underground vault somewhere.
I like the explanation that a lot of these people are people that peaked in high school. They are angry that they stayed in the same town, not bettering themselves and never really going anywhere.
And they want others to hurt. People they perceive as liberals because they did get a degree, did expand their minds, did better themselves, did travel, did spend time in bigger and better cities, and so on.
They may still not say it out loud, but their first thought will be "he hurt those other people in various ways, so worth it to me."
Actual value for them... nope, can't think of anything.
Oh they do say it out loud...
And if people think this is just some outlier cherry-picked by the media - nope. I've been told by an inlaw conservative that maybe I did well under Biden or under Obama, but should not have - implication being - maybe Trump 2.0 will actively harm me, because that's what I deserve. Because I have a degree, because I'm liberal, because I don't vote for asshole idiots like Donvict, etc...
And that's not even getting into the kinds of conversations I've had with conservatives both IRL and online - they definitely wish harm on those that merely disagree with them, never mind people of different religions or skin colors.
They don't need to think at all, they get fed what they need to believe. Trump made America great and safe and wonderful. Everything bad happening is somehow Bidens fault. Or immigrants did it. Even if they get upset for some days, they keep crawling back to him. It's the worst toxic relationship ever.
Case and point being them blaming the bad weather at the US 250 festival on democrats.
Or Iran, communists, Chyna, antifa... Never the United States, superriche, corporate entities...
That's not true. It showed us everyone's true colors.
we already knew that during the campaign before episode 1.
I don't think it showed us anything that we didn't know already
Biden Bad, so therefore anything Donvict does == doubleplusgood.
Don't talk to me about any facts, I don't want to hear 'em!
I cant tell which side this is parodying anymore.
Anything to fuck over working class.
And the white ones w/o degrees will vote even harder for Republicans to "own the libs". Meanwhile, just sitting on their own balls, basically.
Wonder if my provider will appreciate me not paying any fees that weren't included in the listed price

How does Fox News spin this one then?
They'll blame it on Biden or Obama if they need to.
Conservatives fucking blamed 9/11 on Obama before.
They don't really need to spin, they either talk about Democrats in a negative way, glaze Trump like he's their God, or they just don't cover it at all.
This one probably falls into the "just don't talk about it" category. If Reich wing media doesn't cover a story MAGA never finds out about it
Know your place, trash!
