Oh, I thought the USA news and politics community might be about news and politics in the USA, but it's good that it's the same sort of snappy tweet screenshots that are in the hundred other meme communities that come up with the "Everything" filter on. What a relief.
Question, is it OK to post Calvin and Hobbes and "yiff" porn here too? It just feels like those are too uncomfortable and important to contain in several other Lemmy communities too.
TIL that Florida is not part of the USA, and that indoctrinating children in the "virtues" of slavery is not politics.
One wouldn't know, because this is the same low effort Jeff Tiedrich style clapback tweet that is posted constantly regardless of context.
That is to say, I would love it if there was actual content posted here that informed me of what I now have a vague awareness of, and then I can jerk off to the imaginary conversations people are having with Republicans in, again, every other community.
The second highest polling Republican candidate, who is also governor of the third largest state has been defending the “black people benefitted from slavery” decision that the people he installed made. If you don’t feel like it’s important to Americans that people hear that Ron DeSantis actually supports this batshit inanity, I’m not sure what you are looking for. Should we just ignore the “clapbacks” because it makes the center right uncomfortable that their candidate is openly racist? I fucking think not.
Do you genuinely think furry bullshit and polotical news events are equally impactful in the world?
No, of course not! That was a joke.
...Nor do I think self-amused tweets count as political news.
