I mean criticising opponent doesn’t necessarily mean preferring current administration
There was absolutely an effort to demoralize Democratic voters here on Lemmy. Those people did support the Trump campaign by engaging in consistent, high-volume criticism and justification of it using logic such as yours.
Democrats don’t need to be demoralized. Their party does that for them.
I was one of them.
I didn’t do it because I support trump or because I’m a russian troll or some other bullshit.
I did it because genocide is appealing and a friend of mine died in Beyruth last year.
I still think you’re appealing yourself.
What did you learn?
That Americans will gladly sacrifice foreigners, that they don’t really think of us as really human.
And that if I’m ever facing the choice between fascism here and genocide in America, well, I hope you have a place to hide :)
Not just Lemmy, unfortunately. I had a guy in my politics discord who spammed nothing but Gaza right before the election, but since the election, he’s only posted a handful of things criticizing Trump. And I know he’s not a bot, because I’ve been chatting with him for years.
I wonder how many people are just burnt out from the outrage, and I wonder how much of that was an intentional ploy to get us to stop caring.
