Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

Sure, Jan.
Putting a fascist in a position of power creates diversity of thought in the same way that polluting a river adds flavor to drinking water.
We can have diversity of thought without indulging fascists. Germany's been doing it for almost a century now.
Cabinet positions are advisory and have little actually power. And not everyone "who was a Republican" is a fascist.
Perhaps my bolding and italics wasn't enough. Was is in the past tense. As in not currently.
I have bad eye sight, so yes, it wasn't, but that's not your fault. Thanks for clarifying.
The downvoters can eat a dick.
Also it's a sad fact that a lot of people here in the US think we can't have true freedom of speech if we don't let Nazis and fascists get equal air time.
