Any politics anywhere in the world. Inevitably it'll be 99% US stuff, but that's not a rule.

This community works differently to how most politics communities work. It has strict rules designed to facilitate productive discussion. You can be rude, to a point, but you can't participate in bad faith:

The idea is to make the discussion productive. Let's see how it works. Maybe this is a fool's errand but IDK how any set of moderation could be worse than lemmy.world.

Trump is humorless and dangerous. The “just joking” defense falls apart upon actual scrutiny of Trump’s character. He for the most part lacks a genuine sense of humor, which requires a degree of humility and capacity for self-deprecation. He’s tried to have late night hosts taken off the air for making jokes at his expense. Saturday Night Live has long been a target of his humorless rage.

I'll never forget the video of Jordan Klepper asking Trump supporters about the photo of him as King. Literally declaring himself king. And they responded "no, it means he's like the King of Presidents".

Like, olympic-level mental gymnastics hard at work there.
