Why don’t you have a demo where someone can enter a website and see a JSON response? I signed up on mobile to test it out but you dumped me into a settings page.
Talking down to the majority of voters is a large factor in why the democratic party lost this election. The US needs a strong democratic party just as much as it needs a strong republican party. Dems gave us the modern concept of a weekend, public services that are vital to social mobility, and many more things.
Rather than resenting a large part of the nation for their vote, my hope is that we all practice humility and reflect on the truth regarding why this happened and not just chalk it up to "over half the country is stupid".
Both things can be true. Conservative media outlets know that these issues evoke visceral reactions from the base and therefore they can sell more ads.
But I’ve also encountered teachers who confided that they teach gender fluidity to their 1st grade class without parental consent. Teaching trans ideology to children has become a humanitarian cause for many on the left and there’s a strong desire among parents for public school systems to take an aggressive stance against the handful of bad actors doing this.
Any such calculated attempt at appearing tough would break down when a bullet barely missed your head. His reaction of staying on stage and encouraging the crowd would be quite hard to fake.
I think there’s a lot of truth to this, and it’s worth reflecting on.
Trump survived an assassination attempt, a series of questionably motivated legal challenges, and then leaned into showing up for hostile interviews during the campaign.
At a time where there is armed conflict spreading across the world again, this kind of personality is appealing to a large portion of the population, and understandably so.
Trump did indeed propose some protectionist policies concerning foreign imports. It was oddly left leaning. Makes me wonder if the parties are switching platforms again.
The point also remains that I haven't seen socialized healthcare conflated with communism. While it wouldn't surprise me if Trump said it, I have not personally seen it.
I think for myself and do not just adopt whatever view happens to be espoused by a party leader. I'm sure he may have conflated socialized healthcare with communism at some point, but my original point remains that most of the republicans I know do not believe such things.
I'm a republican who is also opposed to public healthcare and I understand it isn't communism. Most of the other republicans with whom I interact also understand that. Not all republicans engage in false equivalence.
The quoted tweet mentions medical leave for burnout. I've noticed quite a lot of these stories begin with the laid-off employee taking extended time off for one reason or another.
