I don’t have much of a problem either way as I don’t think I’ll be engaging in political discussion on this website past this post but it seems like any sort of non-left wing opinions or posts are immediately trashed on here. That’s fine. There’s clearly a more liberal audience here and that’s okay. I just don’t want Lemmy to become a echo chamber for any side and it seems to be that way when it comes to politics already.

Mostly making this post just to drum up discussion as I’m new here.

Edit: Thanks for the rational replies. I was expecting to get lit up for even mentioning this topic lol.

    • 20 years ago there wasn’t an attempted insurrection and a massive conspiracy militia movement.

      Yeah the Republican party was still dumb then but it’s absurd to claim that they were the same then as now. At that point they believed what Fox told them instead of Fox having to report what they believe.

        There wasnt but they still wanted to pack the courts and ban abortion, we can’t pretend any of these ideas are good, not to mention the decades of failed trickle down economics
