Alex Jones deserves so much worse than what he's getting, but at least he will have a harder time spreading his bullshit going forward

The guy I replaced got a job making about 250k and for a moment I thought I could do it, but then I remembered that guy is actually smart and understands everything he does while I just copy other people's code and beg copilot for answers. I might be able to trick someone into hiring me for one of those high salary gigs, but surely I would expose myself as a fraud and get fired.
From 2008/2009 until 2015/2016, hate crimes in the US were trending down. From 2016 until today, they have trended up. To me, the best explanation for this is the rightwing radicalization (and empowerment of the already radicalized) of many by the first trump campaign and subsequent presidency.
Outside of hate crimes, we can also see general increases in rightwing violence during this same period (at least according to the feds, not sure that we should even trust any of this data). I'm not saying electing a Dem fixes anything, I'm saying Trump being elected makes it worse because the people doing the hate crimes feel empowered.
Obama being elected also made it worse, but because the racists felt attacked by the very idea of a black person being prez and were reacting to that, which is why it slowly died down over time. Trump is still here and still actively engaging his base, he never stopped so the radicalization didn't stop either.
Yes, it's almost like trump winning the first time around made things worse and then those people who became more radicalized didn't just vanish when trump lost round 2
Look up hate crime stats. There are plenty of articles about hate crimes increasing after Trump's first win. I'll never understand why leftists downplay Trump and his impact.
people love getting a check of free money.
I thought this too, but Oregon just overwhelmingly voted against (almost 80%) removing the cap on corporate sales tax and redistributing the money to individuals.
only a democrat would have your pet squirrel killed
We rent a small place on an old farm that still has a little orchard that's fenced off from the deer. We throw fruit over the fence all year.
No, but only the person can really do anything about it. Also in some cases it's perfectly legal, like if you use a photo that's in the public domain. I think any official government photos/paintings would be considered public domain. Satire and parody of political figures are protected by the 1st amendment, so caricatures are probably always legal. Really tho what politician is gonna be mad about this? Free publicity and all
Do you actually think the Biden admin caused inflation (and the non-inflation increases as well) and that voting for trump will reduce inflation or is this a bit pretending to be the average US voter?
I wonder what it is about Eminem that's different? 🤔
Surely Obama would save us
