One type thinks that the data being disappeared is "trans DEI libtard lies".
The other type believes that the federal government should collect no data because it is stealing a Job Creator's god-given right to act as a middleman in all aspects of human culture and charge money for access to that data (because that's, somehow, more efficient).
Sure, most Biden/Harris supporters are ultimately "centrists", like most trump supporters. They spend their life struggling to juggle costs of living and responsibilities of adulthood. They participate in a society that demands they use all of their energy physical and cognitive to just survive and they reasonably outsource their judgement regarding larger scale policies and politics to trusted leaders of their community. They then believe and do what those leaders tell them.
The other type of Biden/Harris supporter has the privilege of time and energy to spend examining the situation critically and recognizes them as just supporting further corporate control behind the guise of bureaucracy instead of "strong men". But they vote/evangalize for them anyway because at least they don't actively advocate for harming people out of spite.
Trump supporters are mostly quiet on this topic. If anyone speaks up, they tend to get downvoted.
I’m not a Trump supporter but try to be intellectually honest. A while ago, I posted that Atlas Plus would be back, and now it is [1], but I was heavily downvoted for saying so [2].
I don't think there as many "Trump supporters" as one might think. His plan to defacto take ownership of Gaza or to relocate Gazans is overwhelmingly negatively received. So that's pretty clear that people are forming views based on actions, rather than a cult of personality or party. And on that, I do support these actions - but in both directions oddly. From an earlier post in this thread somebody linked to some examples of what's being taken down. Here [1] is one of the CDC pages that's been removed.
It has the CDC doing everything from encouraging schools to push DEI hard, to getting kids to create student-run clubs based around their sexuality. I think that's quite inappropriate, but that's also one of the many reasons I think this needs to be preserved. We somehow went from good common sense ideas like equality of opportunity and allowing same sex couples the same rights under marriage, to gradually shifting into equality of outcome or, as per this page, having kids run clubs in school about sexuality, at the CDC's beckoning no less?
It's all just quite odd. I think people in the future won't believe this stuff was happening to this degree, and so I think it's extremely important to preserve it, and to try to learn from it all. At worst it can simply serve as a very important time capsule. It'd be nice if, at some point, societies could stop bouncing between extremes (or even worse - staying at one end or the other) and maintain a more stable center.
Well I do wish Trump's staff was preserving the sites themselves. It seems logical in the internet era that the complete history of federal sites should be permanently archived.
