I disagree with your premise that his policies are unpopular. He is literally doing everything he promised in his campaign and his policies were popular enough to get him elected. Or not unpopular enough for people to go out and vote against them.

This is the current reality of America. A huge portion of the population prioritizes hating minorities and the poor over the public good.

Ideally you'd catch warning signs before you ever got married to him. My guess is a lot of those who are detained who are married to Trump supporters also support the detention of immigrants and just never thought it would happen to them.

Like it or not they have a monopoly on the most active forum service. To the point where no other service is really useful when it comes to asking live questions and getting live answers for many different topics.

How do I do that? Just google "local accountants"? How do I find one that will be more targeted to individuals rather than businesses?

Yeah I've been trying to. I haven't been on it for nearly half a year at this point. I'm fine with using Lemmy but there are some things Lemmy isn't great at like having thriving communities I can direct questions about personal finance to and getting a wide variety of opinions. Or even pottery discussion. Lemmy is almost only about politics, Linux, and Star Trek memes. Not much more than that.

I actually think Lemmy has started to die off more since I've been here. I'm guessing I was part of some large migration when I started but now most of those people have stopped coming on several months later.

Sentenced but not yet executed.

This is what Americans voted for (or failed to vote against).

I'm happy they're scared.

That's the dream.

Ironically this will make the indigenous activists happy. I'm pretty sure he didn't intend that though.
