If they had just said “my Trump voting Neighbor just lost his job at the USDA. FAFO.” I’d be totally down to believe it. Tons of people are losing their jobs right now, that is reality. But the flag/house thing? Give me a fucking break

[–] pack_of_racoons@sh.itjust.works 3 points 53 minutes ago

Loosing a job means no more mortgage payments, so that's not too far fetched.

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 2 points 59 minutes ago

Maybe it's real, maybe not, but it's certainly plausible.

How the fuck did democrats go from the party that hates misinformation to the party that believes implausible posts on a platform known to be full nonsense because it fits a cute narrative?

[–] LandedGentry@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Considering how Lemmy feels about democrats and how everyone claims to be a true leftist…

[–] InputZero@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) (1 children)

Just because the Democrats are the most left leaning party available to Americans doesn't make the democratic party a left leaning party. If anything the Democrats are centerists because their ultimate objective is to maintain the status quo. Lemmy reaches to far more countries that just the United States, places that have left leaning parties. Even left-wing extremists parties, although they're definitely on the ropes lately.

The Democrats aren't a progressive party, they're a conservative party. It's just with MAGA in the room the scale has moved so far to the right that the center (conservative) seems progressive.

I’m not really sure what you’re responding to here. I’m just saying this person is assuming the poster isn’t a leftist on a site that more dominated by leftists than true blue democrats.

It’s a classic “anyone who does something wrong must be on a different team.”

[–] MiniMoose4Free@lemm.ee 15 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Ah, the classic anything I don't agree with is fake news.

[–] hesusingthespiritbomb@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)
  • On Twitter, the site known for random misinformation
  • OP knows their neighbor well enough to know where they work, despite that not being nearly as common these days and OP not seeming like the kind of guy that would befriend Trump supporters
  • OP's neighbor is one of the minority of federal workers who are probationary employees, because that's the only group Elon has been able to really fire right now
  • OP's neighbor simultaneously being a homeowner with a previously-stable job, but being in such dire financial straits that simply missing two paychecks results in a complete crashout.
  • OP's neighbor then selling the house instead of taking advantage of the large number of hardship programs that would be available for someone with issues paying their mortgage, at least temporarily.

Like is this possible? Yes. However it's highly implausible, and conveniently matches the whole "stupid Drunpf supporters regret their decision" narrative that both Lemmy and reddit absolutely adore. To take this at any sort of face value without any genuine shred of concrete evidence is insane.

[–] theterrasque@infosec.pub 4 points 1 hour ago

Everyone is assuming he lost the house. Maybe he got a better job and is moving to a new and better house, closer to the new job

[–] LandedGentry@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 hours ago

Ah, the classic “don’t believe everything you read on the internet” is more like it. That’s half the reason we’re in the mess.

ask any millenial what all our parents were telling us until they got on facebook.

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

So anyways I started shit posting...

[–] rational_lib@lemmy.world 77 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (2 children)

The fact that this guy posts this on X with a paid-for blue checkmark tells you everything about why Trump won and why he'll keep winning. The left has made almost no effort to win the information space. They just lose and then celebrate when some of the harm falls back on MAGA.

How about his for a change: Win. Try to win. Stop kowtowing to right wing information propaganda spaces that stifle the left like X, Fox News, and Rogan. Fight them like the right fights the left in the information space. True, you won't get to celebrate when your neighbor suffers from Trump, but it'll be because he didn't vote Trump in the first place.

I saw the "Dems are the Uvalde cops Magas are the shooters." And goddamn it salpped ever since. You guys need to get a real 3rd party that is real grassroots socialist.

[–] SolidShake@lemmy.world 5 points 12 hours ago

that would be me. sucks im too poor to run a campaign though lmao.

[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 8 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

I've been watching people go on and on about a Socialist revolution since I read about Gene Debs in high school.

I haven't seen them actually do anything yet.

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 1 points 57 minutes ago

Easy to say, hard to do.

[–] Sektor@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

Need to finish that Elden Ring dlc first.

This is a liberal account, he's not a leftist. Leftists have been in the streets, while liberals remain in the tweets.

[–] LandedGentry@lemmy.zip 0 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

It’s amazing how everyone doing everything right is a leftist and everyone they disagree with/who isn’t doing things right is a liberal. That’s why leftists are in position of power!

[–] _cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 7 minutes ago (1 children)

Remind me again, are the democrats currently in power?

[–] LandedGentry@lemmy.zip 1 points 54 seconds ago

Most of the country is governed or represented by democrats yes.

[–] MiniMoose4Free@lemm.ee 3 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

You expect a "both sides" maga to know that? Seeing all these "it's the dem's fault for not telling us how shit trump would treat us" folks is crazy. Everyone want to blame the dems for the lepords.

[–] _cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 minutes ago

The democrats ran the same candidate against Trump and lost two out of the three times they tried. Do you happen to know the definition of insanity?

Trump was never on your side, now you're finding out the hard way :|
