as a person that came from the 3rd world country and new in fediverse environment, i genuinely would like to know about this.
edit: thanks for the replies! sorry, i literally don’t know the reason since i’m not a western lol. twitter/x is too biased especially when musk openly supports trump so i came here and seeing fediverse is mostly are harris or biden (when he’s still up for the candidate) supporters. don’t know about reddit tho, i only use reddit as a forum for linux and programming stuff.
Because you’ve come out with unfounded accusations of a possibility of a war which won’t happen for many years, if ever.

They aren’t meeting because they are going to war.
If you vote for Trump, you are voting for a criminal, a rapist, a creep, and I will assume you are the same.
Must be difficult to live in a country where you think 49% of the people there are so dangerous.
You’re applying peer pressure, you’re trying to signal purity, but it’s not a convincing argument. It just means I’m less likely to listen to your following argument after you’ve said terrible things about me.
regardless, this interaction Demonstrates to OP how toxic talking about politics can be on lemmy
At least 49%. I’d say that about 25% near the center are OK, but 75% of the people outside that center are batshit crazy on some important issue or another.
It’s extraordinarily difficult thinking that a majority of the people are an honest, open conversation away from making a scene.
On both sides, probably.
Most of the right, and a good chunk of the left.
80% of lawyers, 90% of politicians, 98% of salespeople. 100% of lobbyists.
I really don’t care. I’m not American, I don’t live there. It’s on you.
