I blocked Trump and Musk keywords in my Lemmy client and i feel so much less anger.
The orange guy is the Kool-Aid Man of Overton's windows.
Last time they didn't, we're in for at least 4 years of this.
That was the path before the election. A lot of clickbait headlines linking to his platform that exposed his "alternate facts basis" for evil. Now the attitude won't make him go away anymore.
The thing is though his name in the spin machine is what he wants. There is an entire industry making money off that news. Its a post truth world my guy
You can't ignore the truth in order to banish the post-truth confusion. He gets his name in the spin machine because he won the presidency. Get used to it and don't pretend trying to hide from it is a successful strategy.
it's one thing if you need to check out of the news for your mental health but "don't feed the toddler attention" isn't a suitable approach to the presidency's use by the 78 year old whose orders will be taken seriously and literally.
Yeah, ignore the president of USA. Great strategy
Did you even read the post?
My kingdom for ublock filter lines to remove posts with titles including "Trump" or "Musk"
Same goes for the Fediverse. Can't go on a single political instance anymore without many people just having to bring up the asshole's existence.
How are you this stupid? You go to political instances and find the primary political figure of the president of the most powerful nation on earth being discussed and you're surprised? Upset?
How do you manage to articulate your viewpoint without realizing how stupid it is?
Someone wasn't loved when they were growing up.
Same story posted from 3 different news agencies x every news and politics community on Lemmy = 🤢
I completely agree but it's a little hard for me to know exactly where to draw the line though. It's less hard for assholes profiting from his bile. They can print everything he says (and print money from that) and also stand on the flimsy argument that everything he says is newsworthy.
Don't feed the trolls.

I don't remember where I heard this, but it's stuck with me "Liberals take Trump literally and have never taken him seriously."
It cant
I just wish social media wasn't focused on so much, when it comes to politicians and other high figures.
They should be posting statements of value on official websites and the like, yet instead a blimmin' tweet is the highlight of discussion time and time again. Why should I care? I'm not here to be friends with them.
Isn’t that exactly what you’re doing right now? The lack of self awareness is astounding.
Well, no, not the same thing. This is a meta critique.
