She has kids. Maybe she is actually such a good mom she’s trying to hold it together for them. To me, it’s crazy people are judging this woman… She’s the mom who is choosing to keep being happy after something awful happened to her, showing her kids how to keep the faith and keep carrying on. I don’t agree with her policies or religious views, but everyone being judgmental of her is shocking to me.

If she’s actually a Christian and believes in Christianity 100 percent, she would believe her dead husband is now in heaven. Why would she be sad about that if she really believes? She also has kids. Is she supposed to be sad and mope around all the time? Would it be better for her kids if she constantly was crying and not talking to anyone and staying in her room all day? Should she have thrown herself on a pyre after?

It’s fine to be critical of this woman for disagreeing with her political views, but it’s outrageous and gross for criticizing how she responds to her husband’s death. Some people like to put on a happy face in public and we have no idea what she is going through in private.

I disagree. I really think you are underestimating how much Americans, especially American men, especial rural men who hunt and don’t like being bossed around by a government that’s far away, want to buy whatever weapons they want without extra regulation.

For many people, they vote just based on the NRA’s selection. If the Democrats became a more pro-gun party, they would gain a substantial amount of power in the US.

conservatives are notorious for under reporting prejudice in surveys and also not responding to surveys

even if this article is right, Republicans still use anti-trans rhetoric and anti-trans policy to appeal to ignorant uneducated males of low socioeconomic status, and it works…

if you go far enough down on the totem pole of socioeconomic status and education, you find people who genuinely think that Democrats are trying to give all the money to the elites and don’t understand that proposals for trickle down economics mean they, the lower class people, are going to get fucked. Because so many of these low education and low intelligence people can only vote emotionally, because they actually can’t understand the economic issues, they get tricked by conservatives every time with emotional ploys about trans people and other bullshit…

Because if you’re some tractor driver who went to Bob Jones university and can’t understand things like monetary supply and federal interest rates and crowding out of private investment by government bonds and real prices and the problems of the CPI, you still may understand the myths of the Bible and that trans people “don’t seem quite right” and you may laugh at “trans-insanity” insults and other things enough to connect with super rich people out to fuck you as hard as your ignorant brain will allow. And so if you’re that type, you’re going to vote Republican and then 2 years later complain about how it’s unfair you’re losing the farm and tractor.

It’s not about how people rationally feel, this is about rhetorical mendacious trickery to confuse and dupe the stupid plus rage-bait wedge issues so that enough poor people vote with the rich so that both the lower and middle classes get fucked.

People who use lemmy are a very particular subset, people who self-host another, and you are posting this, saying various things about the government in a long AI-generated post, then claiming you wrote it yourself. People don’t randomly lie. You’re being paid.

Your post is CLEARLY written by AI. Your responses aren’t. So you’re being deceptive.

Your posting in a self-hosted community, preaching self-hosting to people who already do it. You could very well be trying to identify people who hold more unusual views about technology and harbor anti-governemnt sentiments. You think people here are stupid? You’re clearly a liar and probably working for someone. No one lies like that without an agenda.

shut the fuck up you liar

You’re a liar. No one is that influenced. The post is AI, your responses aren’t. Who are you?

To everyone other than OP: this may be someone trying to collect data on people on lemmy and what their views are on the government. This person is lying and being deceptive. Something is off.

This thread is by a malicious actor trying to collect data on lemmy users.

It’s something someone could have generated on their own, but the diction and linguistic style is similar to AI.

“Before you roll your eyes about this getting political - stay with me, because” - linguistic style of AI

“Not by some rogue actor, but by a system functioning exactly as designed.” -linguistic style of AI

“This isn’t about being a prepper or going off-grid. This is about building infrastructure that operates on fundamentally different principles:” -linguistic style of AI

Your responses to people accusing you of being AI seem human. So who are you? What are you? Are you a government agent trying to do data collection on people? Why write the post with AI, basically trying to collect data on users here or get data about users, and then deny it’s AI when it clearly is?

Yes, people are being influenced by AI writing styles but NO ONE IS THIS INFLUENCED. You’re fucking lying. FUCK YOU.

love this

could be true, could be false. ICE has lost all credibility and blatantly makes shit up. Is this a time when they are being honest or is this more made up shit? who knows, but probably more bullshit
