    But then I realized…

          You joke, but apparently Trump did actually try to get Musk to buy his garbage barge of a social media site

            Musk has a string of businesses that he buys, starts to run, and then drives them into the ground. Buying a business that is already driven into the ground is a new one,

      That’s exactly what it is. It should be downvoted into oblivion (even though it’s likely true). It’s a weird form of karma whoring in a community which should be smart enough to not encourage the behavior

    And Israel, and corporate lobbies (fossil fuels, pharma, privatized healthcare/prisons/education etc), and homophobes, and white supremacists, and the hyper religious who want to remove separation of church and state, and… To be fair, some of those apply to both major political parties, but the Republicans in particular seem to be hell-bent on compromising themselves. And let’s not leave out that they decided (by a large margin) that their “best” candidate is a fraudulent insurrectionist sex offender who has publicly stated his desire to be dictator.

      Let’s not forget all of those who should be politically neutral from the low level staff in the DOJ up to SCOTUS. I hope the majority just do their job without political tilt, but that line is absolutely being blurred. I’m sure many people will start pointing to Thomas as an example, not a cautionary tale.

    Is this post part of a meta trend of making obvious statements as though they were unpopular opinions?

      It’s going to turn to r/unpopularopinion with at best an interesting but reasonable take and at worse a very mundane agreeable opinion.

    Facts. This is just facts. Not even unpopular facts really, maybe something most people don’t realize.

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!


How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.

If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it’s something that’s widely accepted, give it an arrow down.



Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)
  • If your post is a “General” unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].


Rules:

1. NO POLITICS

Politics is everywhere. Let’s make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.


2. Be civil.

Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others’ opinions.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...

Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.


5. No trolling.

This shouldn’t need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.


6. Defend your opinion

This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don’t expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.
