GOP chair caught on camera saying "we need to extinguish the left" - Lemmy.world

If ‘extinguishing’ the left means gutting abortion rights, declining student loan debt to take your little vacation and stomping on LGBTQ rights again. Then you’re doing an awfully good job at extinguishing your chances of getting power in the presidency and probably the mid-terms after that. So, keep doing what you’re doing GOP. :D
Or maybe, just maybe, stopping retarded rule that allows trans to compete vs biological women, have the same bathroom as them, stop them from getting ‘woman of the year’ that belongs to real woman, then I’d aay it is worth it.
Do you have an example of that happening or is this a figment of one’s imagination? I’d be interested in how you would support your claim.

It’s a one day old account, and has basically only posted anti-trans content.

Consider it a troll until proven otherwise. Do we have user tags like RES on Lemmy yet?

That is why you pry into their comment. Are they just repeating deranged talking points or do they actually have something to add to the conversation? It appears that they have nothing to add so that equals a downvote in my opinion as they can not support their argument. We will have the modtools addon very soon and thus those with massive downvotes will find it difficult to post.

As for his post, since it doesn’t violate the rules or TOS it can stay so that others can view it in the user’s history to better understand the legitimacy of their posts, which appears to be zero.

Probably not a troll specifically, right wing media focuses on those points specifically and then repeats them ad infinitum so the person watching feels like they’re under constant assault and they need to fight. It’s just a constant poke at emotion to agitate them into action. So they probably only bother to comment on those topics when otherwise they would just lurk.
