I feel like pointing out the ignorance or cowardice in this statement is just playing their game.
The main purpose of the statement is to get a scary sound bite from a high ranking government official that the media can use to "credibly" scare millions of people who don't pay close attention to the world around them, and make the American dictatorship more palatable to them.
Then there's always the secondary benefit of rubbing their open hypocrisy in their enemies' faces.
it may not always be projection, but the narrative they've been convinced of by their media
You are absolutely correct for the vast majority of ordinary conservatives, in my experience anyway.
They don't care about finding the best cause or even about being correct. They need to feel outraged and persecuted, so once that's fed to them they latch on.
Ooh, I have not read this and it sounds pretty good. Just got lost reading a couple pages of it. Thanks for the link!
To that I say, welcome to Lemmy!
It's pretty wild. There were a few years in the early 2000s where I listened to a lot of talk radio on my commute. I had not yet stumbled upon things like streams/downloads of the Howard Stern show, or the world of podcasts. So I got to hear a bunch of the scary republican talking points back then.
That was about a decade before the dictator projection discussed in the meme, and what sticks out in my memory that is super relevant today?
"Activist judges!"
"Legislating from the bench!"
Just yesterday I wiped the drive and installed Linux on the 3rd old PC for the LAN setup I'm putting together, literally "for the children!"
It's an i7-920 from 2008. It has TRIPLE channel ram, baby. I installed Linux Mint Cinnamon and it was as quick and painless as usual.
I already get the warm fuzzies when I walk into the room and find my 3rd grader playing on my PC instead of their tablet or even the console. Our first LAN party is gonna be sweet.
I have no idea how similar the settings screens are, but in the iOS voyager client there is some kind of option if you go to:

Oh same here. I'm hopeful that valve brings us a linux phone, not a gaming phone. I've never really gotten into gaming on mobile either.
However, if they DO make a linux phone, I'm sure it will be Steam branded and have all kinds of gaming-specific tweaks.
But again, to me that just sounds like it will have good hardware specs. So not a problem!
I wonder if Valve would ever get into the Linux Phone market.
But for the platform itself to be open, I wonder how much would have to be recreated.
I was actually going to comment that I now know about this cheap option thanks to the lawsuit, lol.
I don't watch live TV because I value my time, but every once in a while there's a reason to tune into that one thing.
Absolutely, plus since index funds are cap weighted, ordinary retirement fund investing folks are very much vulnerable to it.
If I pull up VTSAX (vanguard total stock market index fund) what I find is...
Sectors: Technology is 38% of the fund and I see 11 sectors listed.
Top 10equity holdings, in order from the top:
NVDA MSFT AAPL AMZN META AVGO (Broadcom) GOOGL TSLA GOOG BRK.B (Almost like its own index fund)
This is fine!!
