Wait, being convicted ends political careers? Hitler and Trump wore their convictions with honor and used them to gin up support to great effect. Who's to say Le Pen doesn't somehow do the same?

Well said. We need to unite to counter this stuff. The right is definitely united. Fascism is very attractive to the average voter.
Saltines with sardines, mmmm.
They are trying to eliminate liberal spaces online everywhere they can. The timing of their actions with regard to Elon purchasing and corrupting Twitter and Trump starting up his two minutes hate platform Truth Social are pretty suspect. It took a while for the liberals to leave Twitter and right as liberal influence on the site was at its lowest, they held the election. They solidified support for right wing media while destroying spaces for left wing media. And it worked.
Yeah, you're not wrong, that's another path. Full blown authoritarianism.
Yes, exactly. They used Medvedev as an example.
They've already installed a guy that hasn't been vetted and cleared that is tearing out the guts of our government at his whimsy and without oversight. They're breaking the law in egregious ways and getting away with it in real time. There is only one way left to hold these people accountable.
Just heard an interview on BBC radio this morning with an American explaining that there are avenues for Trump to do this by abusing the line of succession. It sounds like they want to appoint him as Speaker of the House and then have the president and vice president abdicate.
If you like rap, or well, even if you don't, listen to Death of a Constable by Brian Ennals and Infinity Knives.
Israel has killed more women and children than any other demographic. They have committed a genocide and the US president has called for an intensification and expansion of the genocide. Even going so far as to say he wants to ethnically cleanse Gaza.
Same thing happened to me. I told a guy to fuck off and got banned for not being nice. I appealed, but before that process completed, they permanbanned my 14 year account. I like that on Lemmy I can say normally uncontroversial things like "Nazi scum fuck off".

Mackerel is great too! If you like mackerel you should definitely try some sardines in olive oil. I recommend the King Oscar sardines in olive oil as a easy to acquire starter. The smaller the sardine, the better their flavor and texture tends to be. Bigger sardines tend to get a bit more flaky and mellow in the can.
