    Lol after watching the Mehndi Jubilee debate I can’t help but feel this is the next big bullshit push from Republicans masked as a lefty cause.

    What I noticed with that debate is how many right wing people were 100% on board with getting rid of the constitution. They fucking hated it. Maybe it’s a coincidence but I find it funny I’m now seeing posts like this. I suspect there will be more coming and the conversation will be pushing towards actually ripping up the constitution (except for the 2nd)

      Liberals literally every time they encounter actual leftists: “They must be secretly Republicans!”

        Yea, 100% everyone should be weary.

        We all know that groups like Cambridge analytical, heritage foundation, TPUSA and others are relentless with their online social media presence and actively work to shape pop culture with their views. Including making the left either look insane or distracting them enough too give their right wing views more access to the general public.

        You’d be crazy to not consider that the fringes are not targets. You should absolutely be critical of the fringes. Given that this and a few other posts here on Lemmy were posts that I originally saw on right wing spaces, I do believe it is suspect.

        Advertisers build profiles on demographics to better manipulate them. You better believe these groups have the left figured out. You can’t directly prove it but you sute as fuck can see the results with how much ground and engagement the left have lost in the past 10 years. They’ve went from having a very strong presence to people believing they’re putting cat litter in classrooms. You can believe it’s due to idiots on the right. But it’s as much the fault of idiots on the left.

          Ok, well I’m going to assume that you’re a paid employee of George Soros here to suppress any sentiment to the left of the DNC.

              Yeah, or maybe they’re a Russian troll trying to make neoliberals look bad.

                You’re all only proving my point. You all sound like r/conservative right up to “no true conservative” bullshit they’re going through now.

                  Just calling everyone to your left a conservative without actually engaging with the ideas presented isn’t a very effective strategy for accomplishing whatever it is you want to.

                    Nobody has presented anything other than calling me a bot. The .ml instance is corrupted by something that stinks. I think most other instances rightly call it out for this. It’s clear just from the tone and rhetoric when the instance is a .ml just like when dealing with a trump supporter.
