They don’t have to be super-geniuses to gain power and break everything they touch. Which is ultimately the problem.

Are you sure it’s a typo? ;)

In fairness, their rhetoric is very anti-statist. They speak out against government as the ultimate evil. Except, of course, when it serves their purposes. This is one reason why they tend to attract more people who identify as “libertarian” than Democrats. It’s pure marketing.

It’s expensive as hell, and sometimes even more difficult to pull up roots when you’re deeply embedded in a community. Moving around requires a lot of money that just gets exponentially worse if you have a family to bring with you. And good luck paying for things in the new state while you look for a job! It’s equally tough to arrange to have a job waiting for you in your new home state.

Not in the slightest. They’ve made little effort to hide the fact that this is retribution for their twice impeached God Emperor.

I know I’ll be voting for it.

I look at them as threatening the deaths of their hostages unless other hostages are killed first. They absolutely want the end of public programs that demonstrably save lives.

True, but in this case there was a specific deal agreed upon by leadership in both Houses. Only a handful of Republican Reps decided that they should get everything they want and nothing for the Democrats before they’ll allow the bill to pass. McCarthy doesn’t have enough support to ignore them and everyone knows it.

I feel like this comment misses how the article posted doesn’t care so much about whether he broke the law and more about the white supremacist leanings of the gun store he made a point to visit and talk about buying a gun.

I believe that comes next.

Probably appealing to the public and following the rule of law.

Not with you, no.

You’re kidding, right? They’re shitting on the only people in government trying to help people, because…I honestly don’t know why, and I stopped caring after the sixth troll.

I figured a small civics lesson couldn’t hurt as well. And draw attention to the fact that they’re a big fucking problem that maybe the admins might want to look at. I don’t seem to have a direct way of messaging them.

What complaints am I making?

I’m looking for a way to block everyone registered through an instance like hexbear, so when they brigade our forums I can easily ignore them.

I get disfederation keeping people from finding an instance, but blocking an instance apparently doesn’t stop me from having to deal with the users of that instance showing up here.

From your link:

Posts from users of blocked instances are still visible in other places.

That doesn’t seem to be a solution for this particular problem.

Got what I wanted, thanks!
