I’m going to go on a less extreme take. They’ve been told from childhood they live in the land of opportunity, yet they work in dead end jobs or working fields.

They see money flying away every paycheck they live week to week on while being pumped propaganda (that people in suburbs and urban areas don’t see) that shows people who look different from them getting gov’t housing and getting programs funded with their tax dollars.

The same party they now demonize supports ridiculous looking gay parades that show a mentality they don’t understand, so they begin to hate. They wake up morning after morning in the same place with no change, and they stew and stew and stew.

So now they basically give up and see a hyper-masculine wannabe saying all the things against those who are different, and the long encrusted anger starts spewing out.

Most of the comments here are ignorant and hate filled against the wrong people. It’s not the MAGA supporters that did this, it’s the system. We need to stop polarizing ourselves with hatred and point the finger at those truly responsible. Not the poor (literallly) voters who are so dejected and living in decay that they just don’t give a rats ass anymore.

The more you hate the other side, the less you see the truth. The goal is to make you hate them. The goal is to make them hate you. You can’t define an entire person in a paragraph.

To be fair, not all reasons are good.

Not here. Vinyl is an upsell.

I’m in the sector, and there are legitimate time and effort savings when used correctly. Code refactoring gets a little smarter than a dumb script, boilerplate code is instantly generated, and real educational topics can be delved into and analyzed.

I don’t want to see it closed off, and I want the data used to train made public. These LLMs have capabilities older scripted systems can never match.

Eventually they will replace workers. Our society is too self-centered to make that a good thing.
