August 11, 20241 yr What's happening in the UK is absurd. Any laws that would criminalize people for posting or sharing sentiments they are honestly feeling will cause far more problems than they solve. Even if many are misinformed and victims of sophisticated propaganda campaigns ("on all sides"), having law enforcement issue citations or even arresting people for sharing ANY kind of opinions is some gestapo crap. The battle against misinformation is going to be a difficult one, but it's one that really needs to be waged in the public square among the people (whether that public square is virtual or physical). And the government's role in that needs to be limited to keeping the peace. i.e. if there are physical threats being lobbed that cross into endangerment or actual violence then the govt has a role. As stupid as some of the opinions shared by MAGAts here and elsewhere are, and as chagrined as I am witnessing friends and families go down rabbit holes of easily disproven misinformation traps, I would absolutely never want the govt to be part of criminalizing such speech and would stand in solidarity with my fellow citizens, regardless of their opinions, against any such government's attempts to do so.
August 13, 20241 yr This is absolutely nuts. MAGA's fueled a severe mental health crisis in this country.

August 20, 20241 yr Just now, toolg said: The "family values" crowd is now mocking families. Yeah, probably best to leave the families out of it.

Family members, especially children, are off limits until they actively begin campaigning. So Don and Eric are fair game -- they spoke at the convention and routinely give TV interviews in support of the campaign. Ivanka was fair game in 2016 and 2020 as a member of the administration, but now she isn't involved and her privacy should be respected. Tiffany and Barron are off limits (Tiffany occasionally speaks, but even her own father seems to want her to go away). The Harris/Emhoff and Walz children should be off limits UNLESS they begin campaigning.
