Hey. We got through the last trump presidency. If it happens, we’ll fight like hell to protect the ones who are most vulnerable, and we’ll figure it out. Personally I am still hopeful that it won’t happen. We all need to vote and not get complacent, but this panic is good, electorally speaking. One reason Clinton lost in 2016 was that a lot of people didnt take trump’s chances of winning seriously. Biden’s polling low right now because leftists are mad at him (and rightly so). But as the election starts to ratchet up more and more, we’ll hopefully see people fall in line on at least keeping Trump out of office.

I hate it, personally. I hate that we get government-induced anxiety every election year, just to get people to vote the way they should. All this attention on Trump and Project 2025 is meant to force the undecideds to choose where they stand. If you’ve already decided how you’ll be voting in November, take a break for your own mental health. Last election cycle I made myself crazy listening to political podcasts, checking 538, analysing polling data. I can’t do it this year, so I’m trying not to get too deep into it.

This will also work for conservatives, though. They will imsist that the most vulnerable people are unborn children, therefore they should vote anti-abortion

It was also, at least according to Jefferson, intended to be replaced on a regular basis to better reflect the needs of the country.

Especially for someone whose whole identity is based on growing up as a good ol’ Appalachian boy, it’s pretty weird to say he’s learned much of anything about the struggles of working families from his wife’s experiences. Unless --gasp-- perhaps he’s exaggerated the experiences of his childhood?

Channels with absolutely zero drama that are still active and I would describe as " interesting content made by someone who cares about it" :

• cracking the cryptic: solving sudoku puzzles twice daily

• chessnetwork: explaining famous chess matches and occasionally playing online chess, but with none of the bro culture that has grown up around chess recently

• Folding ideas: great video essays about film or modern phenomena like NFTs

• Technology connections: already reccommended, but in depth explanations about how electronics work

• Language Jones: videos about linguistics and learning new languages

• Numberphile/StandUpMaths- interesting math videos

I love when i see people reference other stuff thats trending on Lemmy. One of the things I miss about reddit
