Social media is part of the problem, but the issue started before social media became dominant. The term Moral Majority started being used in the 1970s and rose to prominence in the 1990s. Social media isn't the underlying cause, it just helped accelerate things.

Not just small towns. Republicans have been pushing that 'moral majority' nonsense for decades now.

Right wing media has been portraying it as such for like 30 years and unfortunately Fox News and its more unhinged brethren are insanely popular here.... We wouldn't be in this state if Reagan hadn't killed the fairness doctrine back in the 80s.

It's Orban. He's been testing what the EU will let him get away with for awhile now. Garbage far-right authoritarian leader in the vein of Trump, Putin etc. Hungary will be better off once he's removed from office, hopefully after their elections next year.

MASSIVE pride march in Budapest today DESPITE Orban banning the parade and threatening jail time and fines for anyone caught participating. Estimates put it at over 200,000 attendees. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c23g02dl1z8o

I don't really see it working this time. Twitter is slowly dying and Truth Social is the very definition of an echo chamber. On top of that, no one really likes Vance, not even MAGA diehards.

Good. One less channel for the troll administration to disseminate their lies through.

Ghouls, the lot of them. The fact that more and more are willing to remove their masks means they are getting arrogant. We should take advantage of that.

He has been slowed down and the protests are only beginning. His approval rating is underwater. Even dictators can only handle a certain amount of unrest before they topple and Trump is nearing that point. My only hope is we can turn the tide before it devolves into civil war.

Best way to prepare is to prevent. We fight back now to keep the worst case scenario from occuring. Giving up now ensures said worst case occurs.

Needs to happen more often. Likely will too. The Democrats have been slow to react so long that people are fed up and looking for a change. They see the bulk of the Democratic party just sitting on their hands while Trump is driving the country off a cliff so they are going to be gravitated...

A recording of him talking about sexually assaulting women didn't stop people from voting for him the first time, why would him using racial slurs work?

AI isn't much better, really. It still has a hard time distinguishing shadows from people and often time errs in the wrong direction. Especially Tesla's AI since they decided to rip out the lidar sensors and rely on purely visual input to save a bit on the manufacturing costs. There are...

They don't have the votes in the Senate to convict. Impeachment proceedings would be a waste of time and resources at this time, unfortunately.

Problem is it isn't just illegal immigrants. They aren't properly processing those they grab, we aren't sure how many American citizens have been 'deported' yet but I'm sure it's more than the admin would like to admit.. This is just phase one. We need to nip this in the bud before they DO go...
