If Trump wins the GOP primary, Im voting for him.
Im voting GOP regardless, but god damn sometimes they make it hard. At least Biden makes it a no brainer, also that AWB they want to pass.
Abortion is murder.
Everyone should be able to own any gun they want, until proven guilty a terrible crime in a court of law.
Immigration is not sustainable, its just importing cheap labor, and crying racism is just deflecting.
The Pentagon should only have the budget they were able to account for last year, no more failing audits with no consequences.
Fuck blahag.
Until I read your comment I was going to say that the most downvote-able comment in this thread would simultaneously be the most upvoted comment.
But damn, thanks to you I've been proven wrong. So I have that going for me, which is nice.
They always were agree/disagree buttons.
You can downvoted anywhere, anytime. Just post conservative stuff, you'll get downvoted, and you'd get called the laziest names anyone has come up with.
Old Reddit down voting was less common. It was reserved for obvious spam. In fact Reddiquette specifically stated not to use them as agree/disagree buttons. If you down vote then you're told to comment explaining why. Before the Digg influx you got some fantastic debates on Reddit with people you disagreed with.
I was hoping lemmy would be similar to old Reddit. Seems not to be the case, which is a shame.
Re: your comment. I think you're a brain dead idiot for voting Trump. He's literally stated he wants a dictatorship and he's committed multiple crimes.
I think there should be a system like where you have a limited amount of downvotes every day. Easy enough to get around, just multiple accounts, but it makes enough of a barrier that I think most users won't bother with.
Tbh, Trump is terrible, but Biden is worse. Its like a lefty who holds his nose and votes Biden.

I don't know if you're being ironically hilarious by design, or what....but man, judging by the back to back negative numbers I think you've got your fingers on the pulse here.
If its by design, kudos on a game well played 👏
Tbh, the only one I care about is guns, and everything else is secondary. Even abortion is born out of me not knowing when it becomes murder and playing it safe. And voting Trump is definitely a lesser of two evils choice, one I hope to not have to make.
So yeah, not a game really, but Im definitely pushing buttons and saying exactly the right things.
People judge others based on their own ideals and values and have this almost innate tendency to not move past that . True empathy is in limited supply; and I think its because there isn't enough benefit-of-the-doubt, or a genuine curiosity to hear why someone holds a particular opinion even if you don't understand it.
Couple that with a "points" system that forces people into a false dichotomy, and leverages the multi-generational conditioning that "more = better" the nuance of promoting discussion goes out the window. I certainly don't have a better solution though
You earned those downvotes.
Fascists shouldn't feel welcomed anywhere.
Yes, because fascists want the people to be armed. Do you even read what you write?
Fascists want what gets them power.
Maybe you should go back to your safe space that you created where people can't call you what you are.
Nah, I get called names there too.
And an armed populace gives them power? I would love to hear that logic.
Letting right-wing terrorists run rampant is a fundamental tenet of fascism.
So is voting for fascists.
Fascist.
No, fascism is when it's the government being terrorists, not the people. Fascism is authoritarianism. The people being armed, that's indicative that it's not authoritarian.
Congrats, you don't know what fascism is, like most people who cry fascist.
I'm not going to get a definition of fascism from one of its adherents.
I'm not playing your fash games.
Fascists shouldn't feel welcomed anywhere.
If you wont take it from me, try wikipedia Its the very first sentence, its authoritian.
Or maybe Merriam Webster
How about dictionary.com
Every single one them says its authoritarian, a dictatorship.
… and yet gun control laws in the US were written by fascists to keep guns out of the hands of people who weren’t “white enough” …
EDIT:
“Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary.”
—Karl Marx, Address to the Communist League (1850-03)
Yes. Which is why gun control is bad.
I guess you win
