The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

In my original comment, I specify. He's bonkers is referring to Trump, the actor of those referred to actions.

In your reply, you state 'YOU', as if the people against this / and? the people pushing it are responsible for that radicalization, and I take no responsibility for that shitstain's actions against our allies.

You could have easily been more clear by stating 'conservatives' or Trump supporters or - if you meant a blanket indictment - you idiots who didn't punish the insurrection / pay taxes to a corrupt system of governing etc., hence my dismissal of your reply.

Vague aspersions cast without insight generally get that response.

I wasn’t the person who originally answered you, just someone who saw you lash out at someone and understood why. You said this (emphasis mine):

Invade Mexico, invade greenland, rename the gulf..... hello... he's bonkers, what the fuck are we doing letting this shit back in power....

And someone answered your question in the way that makes sense (second person plural). It’s not an aspersion, it’s literally just stating the consequences of us electing trump (we as a country did, regardless of whether you or I voted for him).
