Since everyone else is being mean and just in case you didn't figure out where you went wrong here: You are replying to a comment that is stating that the GOP/modern right wing party in the US had its origins as a movement to protest against mandatory seat belts being made into a law in the US.

Now you've got me picturing headphones hooked up to microphones outside of your car. I wonder if that would work well or not.
I have friends who refuse to play with headsets and then wonder why I'm so good at FPS compared to them. I've told them multiple times that it is solely the fact that I can locate enemies due to the headphones, yet they refuse to believe me, for some reason.
I think with the beginning stages of this kind of technology would work better with a removable option, for this reason. We are already getting able to make better human appendages, with super strength and dexterity, etc., but the touch is something that will probably be hard to implement for awhile.
This will involve educating people out of their neoliberal positions and ideas but it can be done.
As I get older and meet more people, I find this goal harder and harder to reach. People are dumb.
I think it starts with a smart and leftist, populist candidate, who can convince the dumb ones amongst us to follow them blindly. Then they will be educated by seeing how better things are for them under leftist leadership.
Bernie, like you said, was basically trying to be this for the US.
For real. Dudes got 15-20 years left on this Earth, at the maximum. Stopping Trump and actually making sure he is charged for his crimes would be quite the footnote in the history books. I can't imagine being that old and passing an opportunity like that up, but then again I am a simple prole.
It's really weird to make a blanket statement like that because different people have very different salaries and expenses. Especially in reference to the US where these things heavily depend on the state a person resides in.
Who's your favorite Hectress, though?
I don't think any supreme court justices are in this thread, and they are the ones that mostly have a say.
Eroding voting rights will be done on a federal level.
I'm not saying you are wrong, we should definitely protest, resist, and vote in local elections, but we don't really get a say now that the country decided to give the reigns to fascists. I don't think people realize how hard this will be to undo. These SC justices are going to be there for a very long time.
Putin will probably have him killed if he doesn't follow the plan, but I have a feeling Trump wants to follow the plan regardless.
Putin/Russia doesn't have this power. I don't get the conspiracy that Russia is controlling the US government, when the shitshow in Ukraine has shown the incompetence of Russia on a grand scale. If anything this power dynamic is the other way around. The US has way more power and resources to make Putin disappear than Russia does to do the opposite.
I do think you are correct that Trump just want to be allies with Putin and follow his plan. I don't think there is any coercion involved in this except maybe financial and diplomatic benefits to Trump. (for example, election interference/social media psyops)
Basically, if Trump wasn't on board with this and allowing this conspiracy to happen, then Russia wouldn't even be relevant here.
The Democratic campaign underestimated just how stupid, racist, and misogynistic the average US citzen is. Don't get me wrong, they should've known and definitely could've ran a better campaign, but this is mostly on Americans being too dumb to know what's best for them.
I personally don't blame any minorities, considering white men and women were by far the most prominent Trump voters. The US is a country of racist dumbasses.
hit that one RFK fan we have on Lemmy with it
Idk why, but this made me laugh so hard. I know I have seen the elusive Lemmy RFK fan in a thread somewhere.
The person who told you that has an ugly personality.
