Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Has USA crime actually dimished in 2025?English
1·1 day agoCan I get a quote from the article that explains what you are talking about? I don’t see anything about an opinion that crime is now lower. Just stats about which party’s views peope favor in regards to crimjnal policy.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•My parents like Pete Hegseth. How is this possible?English
11·1 day agoI think it depends on what you mean by “supported”. But during the Nazi regime, the vast majority of Germans were, in some way or another, working to support the Nazis. But after the Nazis were defeated, the Germans became one of the most progressive people in the world. And these were the same people.

33·2 days agoThe comments here are wild. So much judgement about people we literally know one single thing about.
There should really only be one answer to this question: “I dunno. Why don’t you ask them?”
Just because your parents like some guy that they’ve never met doesnt mean they are evil, sociopathic, racist monsters. The most likely explaination is that they got walked down the right wing media rabbithole by some network of acquaintences, and now they are trapped in a fairy tale depiction of the world designed to appeal to their baser emotions.
People believe in bigfoot and the flat earth. Why? Mostly because they feel lonely and powerless, and want to feel like they are part of a group that is united in their knowledge of The Truth.

That’s defintiely something someone could do. I’ve done it myself. It’s just not the same as a banana.
