This is exactly what a President, an elected service worker sworn to protect the rights of the public, should be doing.
Not.

Having used their software in the past, I'm personally quite uncomfortable with this technology being used to monitor American citizens.
Did we learn nothing from Snowden? I promise you the government has had a dossier on every American for decades.
Never as precise as what Peter Thiel & co harvested thru social networks and LLMs.
so much for "dems and deep state" arguments. Where are the opinions of Breibart Steve Bannon or other right wing commentators on this? Ben Shapiro?
Guess they're all a bunch of pussy. Too scare to say anything to upset their boss, the mighty Donald
Projection in action. Mostly everything they accuse the other side of, that are guilty of.
Nobody says it, but Trump literally stole the election. He did it by having his goons involved with every step of the process, scrutinizing workers until they quit, challenging confidence in the mail-in voting system, removing mail-in ballot boxes, reducing the number of voting stations, and of course the gerrymandering already in place. There’s probably more. It was a landslide victory for people who didn’t vote, and I think that had as much, if not more, to do with access than disinterest. Trump won by a narrow margin among those leftover. He would not have won otherwise.
I would think he and RFK planned everything. The fact that RFK ran as a "3rd candidate" was just a facade. Remember how he spent months running ads, promoting himself as a much better candidate? It's all part of the show.
I’m deleting all social media I still have. Might even consider dumping my Lemmy too.
Honestly, a lot of our content, especially the posts calling for mass murder of Republican voters (most of which appear to still be up) might make traceable prior use of lemmy an easy way to get added to a watchlist.
While true it’s also not all that useful. If a handful of people express that, it’s actionable. If huge swaths of your population do, it means something else entirely.
For sure. I’m just pointing it out so Americans on here are eyes-open in their participation. They’re likely already on a list.
But also, I don’t think killing pedestrian voters is of any strategic benefit. I report it when I see it, even if it’s rarely taken down.
I know I’m likely on a list somewhere. I firmly believe I’m going to be killed by this sundowning Nazi in the next few years too. I’ve tried to make plans and get out of this sinking ship but I’ve not been successful. I’m going to die here and it’s likely to happen pretty soon.
So if that’s going to happen anyway, where is my motivation to comply with anything this fascist wants? Fuck it. He’s going to have to kill me.
yeah I'm gay and am on the autism spectrum, between that and being a leftist "parasite" (food stamp recipient), I've largely resigned myself to my fate as well. But I'm not going to fucking El Salvador or any other memory hole he shoves people into. I'd rather die on my front lawn.
Same here. Some of my friends are already planning to die, buying guns and hoping to take down an agent with them. I won’t buy a gun because I’m afraid I’ll actually use it, possibly on myself.
These are incredibly dark times.
I've always liked guns (some of the mechanics at play in some are fascinating, the wackier ones are like a rube goldberg machine inside), never wanted one in the house because of depression. now, it's looking like eating a 12 gauge sandwich is, in fact, probably going to be the better way out, eventually. I'm trying to put it off as long as possible until my choices are "get a gun now or you won't be able to later, at all".
I feel similar. I used to be more into guns and hunting when I was younger but left them in my parents’ gun safe because I can’t trust myself with having one in the house due to depression. Thankfully I’ve never been clinically diagnosed with anything so RFK can’t put me on a medical list at least. If the fascist start to really go crazy by arresting literally anyone who opposes them at all, then I’m taking them out of the safe and will be ready for anything.
So this is the guy who went on and on, and his supporters too, about the "deep state" and "draining the swamp". Little did everyone know but he was talking about his plans to create it.
Of course. I then expect the data to be released, misuesd, etc, etc. I'm just going to expect it now.
remember THiels boytoy last year followed the same fate as russians, fell off a multistory building in florida. the news was barely made news because of trump, and it hurts thiels "image"
LoL, I thought they're talking about the crystal balls in LOTR.
That CEO needs the Luigi treatment.
Well if they're collating data, not that difficult to add a new table for gun ownership.
