    Unfortunately even though most people don’t ‘support’ it- it’s a spectacle that gets headlines and clicks, and those further incentivize more spectacle. She’s not doing it for the few people that would say they support it, she’s doing it for the attention of people that don’t.

      If you don’t think people support this, you haven’t been in any conservative US spaces. They love Hunter’s penis

      And here we all are :/ I’ve said this everywhere I frequent, and it’s never worked, but maybe Lemmy will buy in. Lets just stop posting and upvoting obvious negative attention seeking garbage. Downvote it, harshly. Downvote the comments left on the post just for feeding the trolls, even if you agree with what the comment says. Let the names of these idiots be forgotten in these parts. We’re better.

        Yea, I don’t really want to forget about the regressive dipshits that get to pick what laws I have to obey.

        Call me crazy, but knowledge of their bullshit has helped me avoid their problems.

        I would love to just ignore these people and have them go away, but it sadly doesn’t work that way. If we ignore them, then they’ll just push the envelope more and more. Silence is taken as permission to go further with their fascist tactics.

        If we fight back enough, then perhaps the day will soon come when they are politically irrelevant and we can ignore them. Until then, we need to pay attention to what they are doing.
