LeadersAtWork@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•North Carolina legislature passes three anti-DEI bills8·13 days agoYou shall find your answers if you follow the path of power, which in time will lead into the Forest of Money, and after many days shall lead into the Heart of Dissension. All of it found in the Realm of Mockery.
For you see, many of the Republican leaders aren’t stupid. They are quite smart. However, they collectively have very similar character traits:
- Propensity for hatred
- Superhuman ability to project
- Stupendously fragile ego
- Thirst for power not for, just against
- Diligence against learning
- Frightened to challenge their own beliefs
- Terror of ostracisation
- Desire to fit in
They hate so strongly that they refuse to understand that the “values” they have are projections of their own ego in their thirst for power. This desire for authority is never to help others, it’s to stomp on those who challenge their fragile beliefs lest they get questioned too hard and are kicked from the many mini cults they subscribe to. Don’t believe me? Play “I’m an Imaginary Republican in 2025!”
"This goes against…! -> “OBAMA…” -> [insert personal attack] -> “My constituents could never…” -> “In 1847…” -> covers ears “LA LA LA” -> Other holdout Republicans begin voting yes on destroying the Universe and all who live within it -> Votes “Yes” trying to be the last holdout because his colleagues know what he’s doing and salty because they know his base probably loved it

LeadersAtWork@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•*Permanently Deleted*English13·6 months agoIt’s fine to ask your team to bear the burden with appropriate compensation on a timeline of hiring to build out a longer, more sustained work week. Do it right and you’ll even gain respect, just gotta follow-thru and be open and honest about the difficulties, while acknowledging and working with your team. Then also be present consistently during this transition phase and either help if you can, or stay out of the way if you can’t.
Problem is we know this isn’t how it’ll go down.
LeadersAtWork@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Trump refuses to rule out use of military force to take control of Greenland and the Panama Canal20·6 months agoEasy: People within its ranks will begin to make choices. Not necessarily take action, just make choices. If things continue small insubordinations will occur and eventually rifts at nearly every level.
If things got really bad the military would split into three:
- Pro Trump
- Pro United States
- Undecided/Everyone else.
If this happens it will be a test of the quality of leadership on both major sides. A fundamental breaking of the chain. It’s why Trump wants to replace current military leadership: They’ve told him no. A pattern we’ll continue to see for at least two years.

LeadersAtWork@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•'Very troubling': Leader of 'Abandon Harris' movement now anxious about Trump appointees3·7 months agoOnce again you’re wrong and you’re clearly stuck, refusing to actually listen. It’s all outlined. At this point I’d just be repeating myself. Not everything is black and white, there are nuances in the grey. Figure it out.
LeadersAtWork@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•'Very troubling': Leader of 'Abandon Harris' movement now anxious about Trump appointees3·7 months ago“Genocide Joe”. This cycle the only people who called him that were individuals who wouldn’t vote for him. Typically single issue Gaza voters. That and what you’ve said makes me believe you either abstained from voting, or voted third party, maybe even voted Trump though that is less likely.
If I’m right then you are part of the problem. In situations like this last election, the status quo, which has shown it will budge and move at least a bit, is much better than a party who has literally been recorded saying incredibly malicious and evil things, nevermind what Trump has claimed. This is a worst case scenario. It’s a valley where incredible change can happen in either direction and voters like you are a direct cause of this. Just look at how you repeated the same tired arguments three times in your replies. Ones you’ve probably repeated a hundred times, “Don’t vote for Genocide Joe”.
LeadersAtWork@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•'Very troubling': Leader of 'Abandon Harris' movement now anxious about Trump appointees2·7 months agoOkay, at the risk of being censored: You’re actually being stupid.
We do NOT support the current Democrats, nor the party, nor their way of doing things. We supported trying to make sure Trump did not get a second term by standing beside the only candidate(s) that had a chance because there wasn’t anyone else. So stop for a second and think because it’s clear you’re a single issue voter: You can’t stop repeating the same faulty freaking logic.
Then is not now.
Then does not mean we supported them.
We wanted a better world. Days where we don’t have to worry so much. We support Gaza and Ukraine.
If this and much, much more means supporting the opponent of a would-be dictator, then we fucking do so. That’s the difference. WE SAW THE BIGGER PICTURE and did what we had to do.
It was what had to be done. The Dems fucked up their messaging. However, people like you chose to fuck our home and possibly the world to greater and lesser degrees because you stand so damned fucking stalwart it’s like trying to convince a brick wall to fall over with kind words of encouragement. If I live through these next four years I hope to be a part of the team that writes the history books. If I am I’ll make sure to cite people like you, @MisterScruffy , for your contribution towards tyranny and dictatorship.
And for the record: Yes, I’m pissed. Not at you, you’re dumb. At what brought us to this point.
LeadersAtWork@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•'Very troubling': Leader of 'Abandon Harris' movement now anxious about Trump appointees7·7 months agoSticking with it wasn’t a choice. You seem to believe taking our current situation and just rolling that shit back is a time machine we have the capacity of producing. There was no other candidate and we knew that. Unless you have a realistic suggestion that would have worked at the time.
We’re listening.
LeadersAtWork@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•'Very troubling': Leader of 'Abandon Harris' movement now anxious about Trump appointees9·7 months agoYou sure aren’t living up to that name with comments like that.
Look, it wasn’t about Biden or Harris or Obama or whomever else you want to project your shitty little excuses on. This cycle was about stopping a then would-be dictator. We were trying to do right by the world. Not by you. Not by the MAGA cultists. Not by Gaza or Ukraine alone. For everyone through stopping someone who had made it clear he, and through the agreement and support of the GOP, would do worse.
Then you single issue idiotic disappointments wouldn’t wake the fuck up. Yes, the Dems fucked up. Harris started strong and some snob Left probably ancient “strategist” convinced her to shift gears and she toned it down, along with other bad choices. It was shit. You know what I can die knowing I did?
Not voting someone who might actually be fucking evil BACK into the Office of the Biggest God Damn Chair we have. So kiss my ass, Schwdinehund, at least we tried to stop what’s coming.
LeadersAtWork@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•'Very troubling': Leader of 'Abandon Harris' movement now anxious about Trump appointees69·7 months agoWait wait, I remember a guy who was constantly arguing and berating everyone about how Biden was just the worst Satan reincarnation or some shit and how we all needed to band together against both him and Harris. Oooh @HomerianSymphony , you still around, bud?
We’d like an interview.
LeadersAtWork@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Matt Gaetz ethics report says his drug use and sex with a minor violated state laws8·7 months agoYou set a shocking precedent and then write into law that it can never be done again. Pretty much play the Republican game except better. In fact, this could fix pretty much everything. Enact incredible, and sometimes extremely grey, choices and decisions to repair things. Then make sure it could never legally happen again.
The person or people doing this would have to immediately step down. I would prefer if they took a hit for the team to really cement the sacrifice. Alas, we do not live in that sort of world.
I’m expecting Trump to twist this, claim a voluntary recess, and slam through the rest of his preferences.
Assuming I’m not behind and he hasn’t gotten them all through already.
LeadersAtWork@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•AOC's colleagues already floating a future leadership bid33·7 months agoInteresting. ASSUMING all these words in the article aren’t hollow, many colleagues do support AOC. If it wasn’t for ol’ Nancy sticking her finger in the dike this may not have been too controversial.
Problem is this reads, and probably is, a buying time sort of deal. To the old geriatric leadership AOC is a threat to how they do things. More importantly, like with Bernie, she’s a threat due to her supporters.
Whoa now, careful there. With the cutting of renewable energy the next thing you know companies will be offering boons like onsite housing and increased pay in the form of something like Company Tokens that can be used for good the company kindly ships in.
