Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

It may have the worst ultimate consequences of much of the Republican insanity, but unfortunately I don’t think it’s confusing at all.

  1. Do something for the good of the entire world, or to put some money in the pockets of people who already have more than they can ever spend? Easy choice.

  2. Oh, the entire world can see that we made the bad choice on #1? Sooooo… guess what guys the bad consequences don’t actually exist! :D

And it goes well with a general distrust of highly educated individuals. That is used to dismiss many other facts that they disagree with.

One of the worst parts of them. Among all the other worst parts, naturally.
