Las Vegas hospitality workers say they're squeezed by a tourism slowdown they blame on Trump's tariffs, high gas prices due to the war in Iran and the cost of living.
Damn, yeah I’m wasting time they’re completly BlueQ-Consumed
What the hell is “Blue-q”? Some fiction fantasy shit you read on Lemmy and Reddit? Musk Twitter?
I am pro-science, pro-reality. What the hell is “BlueQ”?
“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back. So the old bamboozles tend to persist as the new ones rise.” ― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark, 1995, page 241.
People who believe in Qanon conspiracies with a liberal bent, such as Russiagate i.e. despite all the evidence to the contrary such as Trump supporting Ukraine militarily against Russia, they still insist the ‘Agent Krasnov’, Steele Dossier bullshit is real
Agreed, once you defer your critical thinking to western billionaires and their owned ‘journalistic’ outlets(the same that insisted that the Curveball evidence Saddam had WMDs were true, when it was clearly false e.g. whole passaged of it were lifted from the script for the rock(1996)), you’ve given Western billionaire charlatans power over your thinking instead of applying critical thinking to ever piece of media you consume no matter the source
People who believe in Qanon conspiracies with a liberal bent
QAnon is fantasy fiction mythology. It is not fact-based science. It appeals to meme cultists who are attracted to Spiderman, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars and other fiction addictions. Cult addicts to fiction. Who adore Truth Social Donald Trump because he is a fiction fantasy storyteller. Anti-science anti-reality.
Left vs. Right
I do not support all the mindsets of 1-bit binary bi-polar thinking of “left vs. right”. The terms “right-wing” and “left-wing” originated in France during the French Revolution in 1789. King of France: Right-wing Bible Jesus fiction fantasy storytelling of God from the Levant year 1789.
“Quant à moi, je ne vois pas dans la religion le mystère de l’incarnation, mais le mystère de l’ordre social; elle rattache au ciel une idée d’égalité qui empêche que le riche ne soit massacré par le pauvre. La religion est encore une sorte d’inoculation ou de vaccine qui, en satisfaisant notre amour du merveilleux, nous garantit des charlatans et des sorciers: les prêtres valent mieux que les Cagliostro, les Kant et tous les rêveurs d’Allemagne.” - March 4, 1806 as reported in Opinions de Napoléon sur divers sujets de politique et d’administration, recueillies par un membre de son conseil d’état.
The real concern is fiction vs. nonfiction. Fox News HDTV is fiction. Reddit cult is fiction addicts. Twitter cult is Elon Musk fiction addicts. Etc. Truth Social is fiction fantasy media. MAGA church fiction fantasy leadership. Israel Torah fiction fantasy leadership.
“The boys learn the Quran by heart, rocking back and forth as they recite. They learn that there is no such thing as science or literature, that dinosaurs never existed and man never went to the moon.” ― Malala Yousafzai, I Am Malala: The Story of the Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban. Non-fiction book published October 8, 2013.
I never once mentioned it. That’s your mental programming. You are projecting from your mind. I never once have mentioned it in all my Lemmy postings for years.
you’re addicted to them and adore their liberal proponents
I quote Carl Sagan multiple times on this posting. I notice you keep avoiding it. Your “liberal vs. conservative” brain-rot.
Jesus Believers = Conservative. Science Fact-based teachings of Carl Sagan is what I keep citing and asserting. Stable books printed on paper from year 1995. Non meme-think memes of the week club addict thinking.
You need to be critical of all leaders especially in the US
I am critical of gullible Lemmy users and Reddit users and Bluesky users and Twitter users and Facebook users and TikTok users and YouTube users and Fox News HDTV viewers who believe fiction because they can’t face their addictions to: Sponge Bob, Lord of the Rings, Spider-Man, Star Wars, Jesus fantasy, The Apprentice, memes decorations, McDonald’s advertising, content from students of Edward Bernays, content from students of Vlad Surkov, etc. Meme format addicts. Anything meme-shaped We The People accept and program into our mind.

ANYTHING but follow Dr. Bandy X Lee (a GenX smart woman), a leader of 27 people since year 2017. All media addicts who LOL laugh at Donald Trump’s brain for comedy and jokes about Trump mental health day in and day out on their meme devices on meme apps.

Bandy X Lee: Gaslighting, Crazy
Gaslighting
Often, people with NPD resort to an insidious strategy called gaslighting — a term drawn from the 1938 play about a man who persuaded his wife she was crazy by, among other means, dimming the gaslights and claiming he’d never touched them. As people with NPD become increasingly psychotic, they’re determined to convince others that they’re the “crazy” ones who can’t see reality for what it is. Gaslighting reassures pathological narcissists that their own grip on reality remains firm because they can’t bear to acknowledge their sanity is slipping away. We might ask if we’re seeing this now, as Trump and his closest advisers appear on TV claiming he didn’t make statements that journalists often simply play back — or if it’s a tweet, flash an image — to prove that he did indeed say what he said.
Lately, these incidents have become commonplace. Many in the press and public at large now refer to them as alternative facts, alluding to Trump spokesperson Kellyanne Conway’s now infamous “explanation” for why Sean Spicer had berated the press for misreporting Trump’s inauguration size: “this was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration, period, both in person and around the globe,” Spicer peevishly told a stunned press corps. This turned out to be patently false, though Conway defended the statement, saying Spicer had simply been providing “alternative facts.”
Those who embrace Trump’s reality, where the mainstream media lies and remains “the enemy,” signify their support with red hats bearing the inscription MAGA (Make America Great Again). Those who believe what the news reports about Trump have donned the symbol of resistance — pink pussy hats, a reference to his now infamous hot mic comments about women, “I just grab ’em by the pussy…”
That the country is currently split — and our shared reality with it — seems without question at this point.
I mentioned several times in my comment the private jet flight on November 8, 2013 - which comes before the “that article about Putin from 2013” - have you studied the flight records and owner of the private jet?
Timing. November 8, 2013 weekend Trump goes to Moscow. December 2013, the linked article discusses new International movement and “Call to power” all across the world. February 20, 2014 is when the Ukraine hot war started. After the softening up (of minds on WWW) by the Internet Research Agency almost all of year 2013.
The December 20, 2013 article starts “Vladimir Putin is calling on the conservatives of the world to unite — behind him.” - Do you understand that Donald Trump is a world leader conservative?
If not what did you mean to imply by all that if not ‘Trump is working with/for Putin’?
USA population has come to fill their minds with memes and fiction entertainment
Donald Trump is an entertainer.
Donald Trump is easily influenced and gullible. He believes fiction storytelling put out by the Kremlin
Donald Trump is not very smart. And We The People on meme apps are not very smart.
The entire USA society (We The People) avoid facts, timelines, details in favor of dumb memes and ignorance.
This is a shit-posting nation who is addicted to Rupert Murdoch media, Elon Musk Twitter thinking patterns, and prizes knowledge about Sponge Bob, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, and Donald Trump is a fantasy fiction storyteller who entertains We The People with Truth Social memes (fiction content).
USA was not this ignorant before July 6, 2011 https://theoutline.com/post/2445/trump-s-first-real-tweet-was-on-july-6-2011 - now everyone celebrates ignorance. Dr. Bandy X Lee’s 27 leaders have been ignored by We The People since year 2017. Instead people are learning more about Spider-Man and sports baseball players. Trump is a celebrity television entertainer.
Some haven’t even considered that not every user is a yanqui for example.

In no way I adore Trump or any other neoliberal US leader, you’re strawmanning because you narrative falls apart if I’m not a trump fanatic
Russiagate, the Steele dossier are also fiction, you’re addicted to them and adore their liberal proponents
