I don't know about that. there has been a huge slew of foreigners coming in and buying up all their affordable land and housing to make AirBnBs. if that were happening in my area I'd hate foreigners too. especially because most are likely not making any effort to fit in with the community and are just creating wealthy expat enclaves taking advantage of the low yen value.

also if comparing xenophobia have you seen -gestures to the rest of the entire world-

Climbing carabiners look nothing like the cheap carabiners so I don't think someone who climbs accidentally mixing them up would be possible.

Block what you don't want to see. I block all the straight porn on here that somehow makes it into All. And yes Lemmy has a large amount of lgbt users.

Also it is pride season so you'll see more queer stuff than normal.

Maybe next time and everytime go out and vote blue so they have even a chance of doing something to stop it.

Elections have consequences.

Dumb. A better acronym is RATT: "Republican Ass-Tonguing Trump".

What if Scalia was the one holding Thomas back and Clarence was the one who shot Scalia with the ice bullet containing the heart attack serum that killed him?

Even if that were the case what makes you think they are any more aware now? Their team has won and they are probably mostly unaffected by his policies or if they are they will use mental gymnastics to blame their problems on Democrats and immigrants.

I've tried communicating with Trump supporters. Hell most of my family are them. I'm the only brown gay person in my family (apart from my mom who is a brown immigrant -- and even she is a Trump supporter). I've communicated the harm his policies do. They don't care. They think his policies are good. I'd posit they know the harm they are doing and they like it.

I disagree with your premise that his policies are unpopular. He is literally doing everything he promised in his campaign and his policies were popular enough to get him elected. Or not unpopular enough for people to go out and vote against them.

This is the current reality of America. A huge portion of the population prioritizes hating minorities and the poor over the public good.

Ideally you'd catch warning signs before you ever got married to him. My guess is a lot of those who are detained who are married to Trump supporters also support the detention of immigrants and just never thought it would happen to them.

Like it or not they have a monopoly on the most active forum service. To the point where no other service is really useful when it comes to asking live questions and getting live answers for many different topics.
