Now we need NFL, MLB and NCAA to dump X in favor of more positive/aka less nazi social media tools.  

The hard part for anyone with massive reach is exactly that: X has a great deal of reach, and no one who relies on maximum engagement from their customer base wants to intentionally reduce that.

The other part, of course, is whether those organizations are truly anti-nazi, or are in willful denial as to its very existence. That's probably more the question at hand.

I wonder if Bluesky will even run this.

 

 

 

 

 

 

So now violence is wrong? Killing an innocent woman and several other murders is fine as long as it's carried out by MAGA Nazi-wannabes? Make up your mind, MAGA. Either violence is OK by you or it's not OK. Live by the sword....an eye for an eye....

My Facebook feed is truly a right wing cesspool right now. Like 90% of it. Anyone else’s like this now?

Actually no.  Mine is a pretty feisty brew of anti-Trumpism.

When the "news" organization and Republican Party dissed Fred Rogers they lost me forever. Right now I believe Fox and the GOP owes me about $10 Billion for my suffering

Back in 2007 Fox News did a segment on how Mr. Rogers, who died in 2003, was "evil" & was the source of many of America's problems. Fun fact: Fred Rogers was a lifelong REPUBLICAN, but he was the sort of old school liberal Republican that Fox News was designed to eliminate. https://youtu.be/29lmR_357rA?si=a36K3kqvYHqCp7Zu

Hard to believe that it's the same party a lot of my family supported up until the 1980s, that's for sure. 

And a lot of my family that used to be Democrats from that time period now are 100% MAGA. Go figure.

Somewhere in the mid to late '60s early '70s the parties did a major beliefs switch. It was part of Nixon's "Southern Strategy" combined with backlash over Viet Nam. Johnson's Great Society and the Civil Rights Act turned Conservative Southern States against the Democratic Party. Nixon sealed the deal.

When the walls came down with the Fairness Act, all hell broke loose. IMO
