    I remember before the election, there were polls that said Trump was rising. Lemmy said “fake polls!” and “No way! This is propaganda!” And um, look what happened…

    EDIT: Then Trump gets elected, Lemmy has shocked face, and can’t understand how it was possible. Because there are a lot of people on Lemmy who refuse to listen to outside information if it doesn’t fit their narrative. And they’re outright hostile to anyone who talks against that narrative as well. So I believe the polls.

        And you do realize that Lemmy has a very very large majority of people who are anti-conservative, right? So when people talk about Lemmy in the scenario I noted, it’s taken to mean the majority. And in this case, I mean the vast vast vast majority.

          I don’t know and I don’t care. I’m not on the same server as you are. That’s my point.

            And regardless of your server, the vast vast majority of Lemmy swings left. I wasn’t talking about individual servers, I was talking about the vast majority of Lemmy. That’s my point.
