From the article:

Biden earlier this month awarded the nation’s highest civilian honor to Democratic megadonor George Soros and billionaire fashion magnate Ralph Lauren. And in the closing days of the presidential election, Harris’ campaign elevated Mark Cuban, the billionaire owner of the Dallas Mavericks, as a top surrogate, though Cuban was not critical to her campaign the same way Musk was to Trump’s with his advocacy on his X social media platform and his funding of pro-Trump super PACs.

Jeff Hauser, executive director of the Revolving Door Project, described “a sense of whiplash,” suggesting that Biden is “desperate to placate” some billionaires while condemning others. Hauser said he wished that Biden’s team and its allies on the center-left were as pugnacious over the last two years.

Everyone has different thoughts and values, and not everyone thinks exactly like you. So I was asking what YOU thought of it, not what I or other people do.

But hey, if you are afraid to answer, that’s fine.

Thanks, friend! :)

which is to destroy programs that benefit people they don’t like or that inconvenience people they do like.

Which programs and groups of people do you think the are after?

Actaully I’m not rage-baiting at all. If you feel rage, that’s on you.

And friend, if you are actually feeling “rage” because of something I post, please for your own health, just block me and you won’t see me or my posts.

Thanks, friend!

Yep! I agree 100 percent!!

You’re everything that’s wrong with the world, and your grandchildren are going to piss on your grave.

That’s not very nice to say!

You seem pretty mad that Harris lost, so you’re just gonna go straight to name calling. LMAO

But meh, if my grandkids wanna pee on my grave, I’m cool with it. Thanks!

Do you like the orange pi? I like the idea of it being so much cheaper and I love competition, but not sure if I wanna take the jump yet.

Oh, I can name a lot of woke policies. If you don’t know what woke means as it relates to politics, then I can’t help you. Good luck, friend!

I think you are a bit lost in the thread. This article and the quote of “woke” that I’m referring to is what Maher said. He said: “‘I warned everybody about Trump, and then I warned them that I warned them about what would get him reelected, which was stupid wokeness, which is what got him reelected,’ Maher said.”

I’m not sure if you are looking for a “gotcha” moment by trying to get me to say what I feel is “woke” or not “woke.” But I’m not a Republican so I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make.

I think you know what kind of policies and decisions are considered “woke.” And the US let you know they aren’t cool with it anymore.

What I personally consider “woke” doesn’t matter. I didn’t vote for Trump or Harris. I voted third party, friend.

And knowing how everything turned out, I’d STILL vote third party. Happily.

Thanks! :)

And the fucking Democrats lost against Trump. Trump of all people! Both the electoral AND the popular vote. And the Senate and the House.

You got your fucking asses handed to you. And it wasn’t just Republicans who did that. You don’t lose all of that unless Dems vote for Trump and/or don’t vote at all because they are disgusted with the Dem party.

Did you get that, too? lmao

You guys lost all of it. All. Of. It. Got it?

Thanks, friend! :)

but I think it’s also telling considering all that you said prior to Trump’s election and the inconsistencies therein.

What did I say prior to Trump’s election that contradicts what I say now? The only thing I was wrong about was thinking Biden would win despite Trump rising in the polls—an opinion many accused me of being insincere about at the time anyway.

I didn’t vote for Biden or Trump, just like I said I wouldn’t.

I said Trump was a moron, and he is. I said Biden was a moron, and he is. I said that dems were denying (and hiding) his mental decline. And they were. (And I was called a paid russian asset for doing that.)

I posted news articles saying that Trump was moving ahead in the polls, and he was. (And I was called a paid russian asset for doing that.)

I said I was going to vote third party, and I did. I said I was a socialist, and I still am. (And I was called a paid russian asset for doing that.)

I said Lemmy (especially .world) was an echo-chamber, and it is. My post/comment history from that time is still up: https://lemmy.world/u/universalmonk

And since you seem to remember me from those times, you’ll also recall how many claimed I was a paid Russian asset and insisted I would vanish right after the election. Yet, here I am. And still not a russian asset. :)

Thanks, friend!

If you don’t know about the controversies of being “woke” or not, then there’s not much I can do to help. Thanks.

I actually think both Maher and Cryer have good points.

And no, not all republicans hate black women and trans people. There are black women who are republicans and there are trans people who are republicans.

The election shows that. Dems, and Lemmy, are clueless to that. Now they are learning the hard lesson of it.

Yes, I do. And I think Lemmy needs to come to terms with it.

It’s not just Republicans that are tired of “woke policies.” The election shows that. Lemmy and Reddit are just huge echo-chambers on the subject. People from both sides of the aisle are sick of the woke BS.

‘I warned everybody about Trump, and then I warned them that I warned them about what would get him reelected, which was stupid wokeness, which is what got him reelected,’ Maher said.

I disagree.

I didn’t write the article, friend. Thanks!

Well you know, not everyone does or even has to believe what you believe. More than half of the country likes Trump. Even if you don’t. And that’s ok. It’s called diversity. To shun them or call them names just because of that, shows your ignorance, not theirs.

You are sounding exactly like the close-minded stereotype of Republicans, you are just using different name.

So even tho I didn’t vote for him, I think I will follow your example: I now officially take nothing you say seriously. :)

Good point. I think shunning anyone just because their political beliefs are different is ridiculous. Many Lemmy users seem to brag about shunning others because of that though.

that doesn’t mean I can’t have a neutral stance on this particular situation.

Correct. You are totally free to your opinion. As I am mine.
