This country is awesome though!
if you’re straight, white, and affluent, sure!
I'm not any of those and I still love it here.
i wish i could turn a blind eye to injustice in the same way that you can, my life would undoubtedly be a lot happier!
Your life would be a lot happier if you didn't take Lemmy so seriously. LMAO. Dude, it's a link to a popular news site. That's it. You act like it's causing the end of the world.
Guess what? World ain't going anywhere. I am all those things that you said were in danger, but here I am having a great life and having a great time.
my comments reflect my lived experience. i’m glad everything is working out for you, but you’re being willfully ignorant if you think it’s great for everybody.
consider how you’d feel if one of your loved ones got disappeared in an ICE raid.

And I’m sorry that not everything is working out for you, but you’re being willfully ignorant if you think it’s bad for everybody. In fact, for most people, life is good.
You're just doomscrolling all day and ignoring all of the positive things going on around you. Are you this depressed in real life or just online?

I don’t have any loved ones here illegally or anyone close to me who’s facing deportation due to criminal activity. That said, I still empathize with people going through that.
As for our immigration system, we take in more legal immigrants every year than almost any other nation. So while our system can be strict in some ways, especially for asylum seekers and undocumented migrants, we still have one of the most generous legal immigration systems in the world.
Are you out there protesting all the other countries that have much more strict immigration laws than we do?
You’re just doomscrolling all day
alright soothsayer, i didn’t realize you know how i spend my time.
pleeaaaase waste 5 more minutes typing “no u” in the form of another few paragraphs. you’re really changing my mind here.

Oh so you're not doomscrolling all day? So you aren't just looking at negative stuff all day? Because your attitude online seems very down and depressing.
You gave your opinion based on your experiences. And I gave you my opinion based on my experiences.
Do you think my opinions are any less valid than yours? Since they are both based on our personal observations, don't you agree they are equally valid?
And by the way, I hope I'm wrong about your habits. I think it would be a shame if you were doomscrolling all day and overlooking all the amazing postitive things that are happening in the world around you. Being depressed all day and just focusing on bad news isn't very healthy.
i’m nearly convinced now, another few paragraphs will seal the deal!
What makes you think I am trying to convince you of anything? You can be as miserable as you want to be. Doesn't bother me at all. I think it's a waste, but you are in charge of yourself. So feel free to be unhappy about everything. Your life. I definitely don't live that way though.
you should probably waste some more time on this, just to be safe.
I'm not wasting my time tho, this is fun for me. If you're not liking it, sounds like you may be wasting your time.
i’m glad we’re both having fun ^^
See? You finally stepped away from doomscrolling to enjoy something. Good for you!
never was babe. as with most-all the assumptions you made about me, that one was also incorrect 💖
Oh, so everything is good and you are seeing the positive side of things. Good for you babe!
now type more garbage
Oh so you aren't being positive then?
now type more garbage
So me talking about positive things, is garbage to you? Hmmm...
keep going!
Keep going with what? And by the way, I wanna say thanks for talking so much. Because every post you make, raises the activity algorithm of this community, so more people will find it. Including other conservatives on Lemmy.
So you are helping out this community by replying so much. Thank you for that!
keep going!
Sure! Like I said, you are helping this community be found by more conservatives. So thank you!
if you think i DON’T want more eyes on this hall of mirrors then you are again assuming incorrect things about me.
these communities are some of my favorites, especially when the general public starts seeping in!

So we're allies then! Yay!!! Love it!
pretty much, yeah
Yay! See? We're friends and allies. We want more people to come to my community. Now we can hug!
President Donald Trump announced Tuesday he had reached a settlement with CBS and Paramount triggered by a 60 Minutes interview with Vice President Kamala Harris.
'We have just achieved a BIG AND IMPORTANT WIN in our Historic Lawsuit against 60 Minutes, CBS, and Paramount,' Trump wrote on Truth Social. 'Just like ABC and George Slopadopoulos, CBS and its Corporate Owners knew that they defrauded the American People, and were desperate to settle.'
Trump said that Paramount/CBS/60 Minutes paid $16 million in the settlement and anticipated an additional $20 million from the new owners of CBS in advertising, PSAs or similar programming.
