Seems to be the case, although at least it’s real here. Reddit is obviously astroturfed and full of bots, Lemmy is just full of legit leftists. Pick your poison I suppose.

Thanks

He doesn’t praise white supremacist groups… the “good people on both sides” line was taken out of context, doesn’t take much effort to see the full clip with context. The issue with a lot of the left is they view Trump and his supporters as Nazis, and cannot put themselves in the perspective of a Trump voter. Y’all lack the understanding of why he won the popular vote. Why can’t we discuss politics in good faith?

Trump, like most leaning libright, have no issue with “immigrants”. We have an issue with “illegal immigrants”. You are being intentionally obtuse and using bad faith when you phrase things this way. If you don’t enforce border laws, then there is no border. Arresting someone for breaking the law isn’t evil, nor is it intolerant. Do you have an issue with Japan’s immigration system? It’s way more strict and “intolerant” than America’s.

Right, but I would argue Trump voters by default aren’t “intolerant”. Over half the country voted for him, and I don’t think half the country is intolerant. I think there are extremes on both the left and right that are a vocal minority, and most normal people fall on either the left or right but aren’t extreme or hateful about their beliefs.

Sounds like you’re a normal lefty. Nice! Maybe I’m spending too much time on Reddit because the political opinions there are very extreme, it’s probably giving me a more negative view of the left

I’m just giving my opinion from my own observations. Was every place that practiced DEI doing so in bad faith? I doubt it. But many were.

If only DEI was that literal. Instead, it allowed companies to discriminate based on race, but to those with left-leaning beliefs, that’s okay as long as it only negatively affects white people, because they deserve it!

Somehow “diversity” doesn’t seem to mean diversity of thinking, but of skin color, so you have a room full of left-wing minorities that all think the same way and have the same beliefs.

It’s like when Reddit mods say that their subreddit is all about “inclusion” and “diversity”, and then right below that they say Trump supporters or voters aren’t allowed. The irony is crazy. I hope this platform is less of an echo-chamber but I expect downvotes because apparently you can’t support open source decentralized platforms without being a leftist?
