    I fucking hate those misleading propaganda maps. Land doesn’t vote.

    This is what an accurate map looks like:

    MAGA is a demagogue movement. you can easily compare it with any other demagogue movements in history, if you want to

    • You will find it is extra spicy here, since a lot of the “root” culture of Lemmy grew from exiled tankies of different flavours originally (it has since become a lot more diverse). If you are into that kind of drama, oh boy, it’s easily in the top 10 most discussed topics on Lemmy.

        I’ll be honest, I am partial to the Tankiejerk crowd because they were the only Leftist community on Reddit that allowed me to ask the necessary questions needed to finally take a step away from Liberalism and start determining my place in Leftist thought / theory.

        Anarchists (especially there, but, also in general) were always very patient and understanding, especially given how much Usonians need to be graded on a curve. 😄

        If anyone is curious, I would say that after maybe 6 or 7 years of reading and talking and digesting following being accepted by that subreddit, that I settled somewhere between a Syndicalist (strong labor unions) and an Anarcho-Communist (free and independent Soviet system).

        I am a Bahá’í, so, my values are basically ‘world unity.’ Our administrative and community structure mirrors that of the soviet. Both of those fit in neatly.

    I love that all of Vermont is blue in this picture and therefore wholly decadent and elite.

    well, given enough time trump may have similar effects on the number of living academics and not starving people … but that’d still be a catch?
