During this week's broadcast of Fox News Channel's "Sunday Morning Futures," President Donald Trump dismissed naysayers who claimed friction between him and Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) head Elon Musk. | Clips
In all seriousness, can you elaborate? I’m genuinely curious.
Nah. I’ve seen the witchhunts that Lemmy relishes. No offense to you though!
But people will legit screenshot pieces of my conversations and follow me to other posts and other communities. Then they post those screenshots, out of context, and yell variations of “Don’t listen to him. He’s a troll! See?! See?!” Even in non-political posts and discussions.
I’ve seen it happen over and over.
So I just don’t get that detailed anymore. Not that I will ever be run off of Lemmy, but I just won’t get into deep detailed conversations. Which I’m totally fine with. :)
We both know what you’re doing, but I get why you need to keep the ruse going. Because for one- your little ego won’t let anyone get the upper-hand, and two- the moment you admit what you are doing, admins all across lemmy will clean house of your fun little side-characters.
Apparently not, since I have no idea what you’re talking about. This is a conservative news community, I posted a conservative news article. As per the guideline of the community.
What you are saying has nothing to do with me or the article.

Let’s get real bro. You’re not a millionaire, and you’re certainly not a billionaire. You’re here trolling on an essentially microscopic social platform because you have nothing to do.
I’m having the best time of my life since the election happened.
We will see how you feel once mom’s medicare and social security are gone, and you’re forced to find a living space of your own.
How would I suffer?
Your Social Security and Medicare benefits are pretty certainly not going to be there for you in 10-30 years when you hope to retire. Just like mine and everyone else.
You’ll be paying more for everything - just like everyone else.
And why would you look forward to someone suffering?! Say what?!
because you’re the sort of asshole to vote MAGA for the meme, bro. it’s not that hard to understand.
ou’re here trolling on an essentially microscopic social platform because you have nothing to do.
I’m not trolling though. **This is a conservative news community and I posted a link to a conservative news article. **
And you are here talking to me, so does that mean you have nothing to do?
We will see how you feel once mom’s medicare and social security are gone, and you’re forced to find a living space of your own.
What?! Was your message meant for me or someone else? I’m older than your grandparents.

Why the namecalling? I haven’t called you any names. This is a conservative news community. I posted a link to a conservative news article. It’s what this community is designed for. I don’t understand your hostility.
Please read the sidebar for what this community is about.
what, are you some kind of snowflake? not very alpha of you to get all bent out of shape here “grandpa”.

How can I be trolling if I am posting a conservative news article to a conservative news community?
becuase you need to hear it “grandpa”
So now ageism. Ok, classy.
what, are you some kind of snowflake? not very alpha of you to get all bent out of shape here “grandpa”.
Alpha? What?! What are you going on about? I don’t even know why you’re mad. I haven’t done anything to you. If you’re not a conservative, and conservative articles annoy you, then why are you here? I don’t get it.
I haven’t called you names or even interacted with you and you are going on these angry rants against me. I don’t even know what your issues with me are.
This is a conservative news community. I posted conservative news. That’s it. How is any of that trolling?!
I’m sorry that you feel that way. If you’re uncomfortable giving your opinion I can give mine and see if we have any middle ground.
From my perspective, DOGE is an attempt to repeat what was done to Twitter on a much larger scale. The U.S economy is crashing hard as a result. I’m legitimately concerned the damage DOGE has done to the U.S government will be permanent. The cutting of research and government programs at this level will have lasting impacts that will reduce the quality of life of Americans for generations.
I can elaborate further if you want. I understand others gut reactions to down vote your comments and your posts when they disagree but this is a conservative community. I’m clearly not conservative but respect that people have other political views. Perhaps I’m an optimist but I think if platforms like Lemmy don’t allow those on the other side of political spectrum to have conversations then it pushes people into their own echo chambers further polarizing the individual.
I hope you feel more comfortable to share your personal opinion on what is happening in future. Given how extreme it is, I think its necessary to really understand what is happening.
There have been lots of new comments since you posted. Please refresh the thread and you will see exactly what I was talking about. This thread is a mess of negativity now! lol
I get what you’re saying but at the same time, it is much easier to tear things down then build them up. If you fire everyone that manages social security for example, it will be very difficult/costly to train up all new people. This isn’t some policy that can just be reversed and that’s the end of it. I’ll reiterate, I truly think think the damage being done will lower the standard of living for Americans for generations to come and that really saddens me.

You don’t think cutting social security, Medicare, Medicaid, veterans benefits and other social safety nets won’t harm Americans? How exactly do you think it will make things better or stay the same?
Firing 100k-200k federal jobs will have trickle down effects like Reagan could only dream of.
How is selling government property going to help anyone? We already have an over abundance of office space, now we are going to dump more sqft into the market? What will that do to prices of commercial property?

So you won’t expand upon your strongly held opinions when asked politely? Maybe you actually ARE a Trump supporter.
I like Trump. I’ve said that many times. I realize that many on Lemmy disagree. But this is a conservative community we’re in right now.
That’s weird, because prior to the election, you were a socialist shilling for Stein.
I never even posted prior to the election. I’ve never been a socialist. I never shilled for Stein. Feel free to look up my post history.

Translation: “ i’m here to own the libs!!1!1!1!”
I look forward to you and yours suffering with the rest of us serfs 👍
How would I suffer? And why would you look forward to someone suffering?! Say what?!
You’re not suffering … yet.

you’re just as fucked as the rest of us serfs.

Meh, if what he is doing is so bad, and enough people think that, then in four years vote in a dem who can change it all back.

I’m sure they can be trained pretty quickly. Just like any job that has to hire new people.
And I disagree.

Well if it’s so terrible, then you can fix it in four years if a Democrat wins, right?
