Wasn't he on the record criticizing Trump over j6 at some point? Might not have actually done anything about it, but that's probably incentive to at least want to avoid letting Trump go full dictator, lest he eventually find himself targeted for past disloyalty

I know that, for "truth" social at least, I meant lemmy specifically though, that they could easily do the same with the lemmy code if they wanted to make a new voat or something

I mean, I don't see any mechanism precluding conservatives from joining. They'd probably get defederated or banned on most instances, but they could easily create their own little connection of servers and run a parallel network on the same software, if they so desired. Heck, for all I know they might and I just don't know about it

Not really? Its a marketplace and some regulations on how insurance companies can conduct business. It doesnt really have anything to do with having the common people have economic control

Even Americans as a whole dont. Did you vote for Trump? Given the userbase of this platform, Im guessing likely not. What about someone who isnt yet of voting age? Or even who was just born, and therefore cant even have contributed memes and talking points to Trump's cause? There are a great many people who did what they could to stop Trump and were outnumbered, or who simply had no ability to affect the situation and so had no part in causing it. All these people are guilty of is happening to be born within the same lines on a map as a bunch of fascists and fools that have been duped by fascists.

No, thats the thing, he doesnt want people to think he's a trump supporter, and hates that if he wears this old hat he used to really like people will think its a trump hat

My father sometimes complains that he cant wear his red fishing hat anymore, because unless you pay close attention to the different design on the front, it looks like a maga hat.

Not necessarily in this case I would think. If the supreme court got rid of the cases that make same sex marriage legal nationwide, and the republicans due to not doing away with filibuster or due to infighting among themselves don't pass a law to ban it nationwide, it would revert to the state by state basis it used to have. In such a scenario, which isn't that implausible, Cali probably wouldn't want to still have old stuff banning it on the books

I dont know where he actually lives, but we work in a city that is like slightly to the west of Boston, so maybe like east-central I'd assume

One of my coworkers was going on today about how he thinks maybe the dems "still cheated" because Trump didnt win our state and he doesnt think basically anyone voted for Harris. In Massachusetts.

With an attitude like that, something tells me that pirate won't be getting any booty

I wasn't, to be clear, advocating for them, just pointing out that they were one of those things tech bros keep suggesting over and over again. I don't suspect they're something to really worry about, because I don't really expect the economics of them to work out.
