I just did. Wikipedia considers them a news org as well.

Thanks, friend!

I am not sure which one, the letter just says “under current executive order”, and it killed a program that granted supplemental coverage for a variety of different drugs,

You should look further, because I haven't seen nor heard of Trump doing anything like that. So it may not be a Trump order.

A lot of people here are now regretting their vote

I'm not seeing that in my area.

Trump is the one who fucked up the treatment I need to live. Literally his orders have stopped it.

Ok, which order stopped it? What treatment did he stop?

There are tons of people on lemmy who are poor, and working class, and marginalized

Sure, but not the majority of Lemmy users.

Tons of conservatives are poor, and working class, and marginalized. Yet Lemmy hates them with a passion.

Thanks, friend!

constant pain, disability,

I'm sorry you are going through this. But what does Trump have to do with this? He didn't cause those things. He's not pressuring your insurer to not help you. So what is it about your pain and disability that was caused by Trump?

Again, I'm sorry you are going through that. And it sounds tough. I just don't understand the Trump connection.

Stay strong, friend.

Watching you take yer victory lap considering how much and how hard libs were doggin you is enormously satisfying for me,

Thanks, brother!!

What's amazing to me is reason I face so many bans and hate. It's because I post linked to news articles from major news orgs. I don't advocate violence. I don't advocate racism I don't advocate bigotry. I don't write the articles.

I post links to news articles. And the majority of Lemmy wants me permanned from the instances. LMAO

Stay strong and stand your ground, friend. Standing up for diversity of opinion is awesome!

Ok. Thanks!

Exactly! Well said, friend!

I thought you may say something interesting.

Trust me, this rarely happens when I speak. Both on Lemmy and in real life.

It means a lot to you to be here.

It's cool, but it doesn't "mean" anything to me at all. I've been banned. Had comments removed. Meh, It's Lemmy. I'll just keep on posting stuff I think is interesting. I don't care what people think too much.

Thanks, friend!

but you don’t ever back yourself up

I am under no obligation to back anything up. This is a forum on Lemmy. It's not some political debate club at Harvard university or some think-tank commercial feature for PBS.

I don't care if the points I make look lame to Lemmy. I don't care if I look lame to Lemmy.

Why are you taking this so seriously? It's Lemmy. LMAO

Ok, but you posted a link with the same story. If you are really concerned, you could post to main thread. But I don't really care either way. I'm not opposed to your link at all.

I don't think Breitbart is a disgrace. But you are welcome to belive whatever you like. Thanks, friend!

so you still haven’t convinced me of anything

And you haven't convinced me of anything. I feel the way I feel. And you feel the way you feel.

I told you I don't laugh at actual harm. I laugh at the imaginary harm that many Lemmys thing are real.

It's totally ok that we have different viewpoints, friend!

Dude, drop it. The world is not gonna end because someone doesn't get to use different pronouns in a work email. I don't care. lol

Because I don't think Trump is going to change too many things. Everyone said these exact same things the first time he was prez. The world was gonna end. We'd be put into deathcamps. He would make a law banning democrats from every running for office, etc.

And here we are. And here we'll stay. And in 4 years, we'll have a democrat president, and republicans will be crying. Just like it has for the last century. lol

Thanks, brother.

I was complaining about Lemmy becoming an echo-chamber and not having enough alternative voices.

So rather than just bitching about it, I became the change I wanted to see, and started posting more. :)

There is nothing immoral about being wrong about something or being out of touch

Of course now. But when that person tries to ban you are remove you because you have a different point of view than them, then the line gets crossed.

I think the fear of Trump is reasonable.

I don't.

Some really think he is the new Hitler and then there is no room for any nuance.

Yep, many on Lemmy believe that if you don't hate Trump, then you are a nazi. I know, because many accuse me of that very thing! lol

As a European I am glad Trump is shaking things up.

I didn't vote for him, but I love that he is shaking things up. Getting things done and shaking up the status quo.

Yep!

think if Hitler rose from the dead and took control of America or the UN or something you’d be distressed as well.

Sure, but that didn't happen. I find hilarious that they think that.

Right? They're a bunch of privileged babies. lmao
