Because they have not experienced the cruelty of what they are supporting. . . yet. The moment they do, they’ll cry and whine that it’s affecting them.
See Florida stopping permanent alimony and the blow back from Republicans that are shocked it’s affecting them.
I’ve been online way too much over the past couple days, and I haven’t even come across any posts about that. Was that here on the fediverse? If so, apparently I need to find some more communities.
Quickly adding that !politics is a different place than /m/politics, which is on kbin.social. /m/politics is not very active, and I recently created a post to generate interest in finding moderators because there are 2 major alt-right assholes over there who are posting frequently and are like 30% of all the threads created there.
The funny thing is that alt-right assholes is virulently anti-Trump and pro-DeSantis. It’s hilarious seeing them tie themselves up in knots trying to justify why Trump’s flavour of alt-right bullshit is bad but DeSantis’ nearly identical flavour is good.
I don’t know if you saw my comments on one of their posts yesterday, but I refuse to be drawn into a conversation with him. I’m glad there are others in the community already trying to combat the bigotry, but I’m sad their wasting their time on it at all. He is obviously not trying to persuade anyone there, so debating him is not possible.
Sorry, I actually stopped following the kbin.social politics magazine a few days ago since I noticed the one here got more traffic. I just remember that guy posting a bunch of DeSantis spam before I left and assumed that he was still at it.

I just left two massive comments over on that thread explaining why the Florida law is problematic despite parts of it sounding common sensical.

Thanks.
