Did anyone else find anything like that?
Ever ask why there is so much yellow journalism around this subject? Who benefits and why so much effort?
Lemmy acts like it’s totally normal because they agree with it. But r/the_donald would say the same about republican media’s headlines regarding immigration.

How so. I think there are a lot of parallels between the two because they’re the same thing. It’s the same mechanism.
