I know it won't stop... but why do we need to quote lunatics here daily.

[LakeArenal]

Couldn’t we limit it to onenut job a day?

Maybe Monday Musk day
Tuesday Ye day
Wednesday Boebob day
Thurs Greene day
Friday Nut job of the week day
Saturday Jones day.

Sunday: no nut job quote day.

[Srkdqltr]

[Faux pas]

7. That's

a question I have EVERY DAY.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

8. I like your suggestion.

[Diamond_Dog]

9. Works for me

[agingdem]

10. I think if we ignore them or

relegate their lunacy to one day a week, then the garbage they bellow without spotlight and pushback becomes the norm...remember Trump was a tv personality, laughed at not with, but the electorate had never seen a candidate like him...no policy only profane insults leveled at his primary opponents...he had no shame, he had the backing and buffering of Murdoch/FOX/TMZ/Koch/Russia..he could say anything (shoot someone on 5th Avenue blah blah)...do anything (encourage cops to beat up rally protestors/brag about sexual assault)...and he wasn't Hillary Clinton..he won and proceeded to normalize racism/antisemitism, "employ" his children, knee cap the Congress, blow up the economy, taint government agencies, ignore/downplay a global pandemic, disappear 300,000 covid deaths, sideline physicians/epidemiologists, encouraged ingesting Clorox, insult our allies, ban Muslims, separate families, cage babies, diss NATO, extort Ukraine's Zelensky, surround himself with like-minded corrupt buffoons, enrich himself in office, threaten to shoot BLM protestors/fire missiles into Mexico, plot a coup, incite an insurrection ...and that's why we have to listen when they bellow..

11. Need to know the 'enemy' so can devise effective counter strategies.

[Carlitos Brigante]

12. If you combine all those people into one gigantic being. You get "Stupid Voltron: Defender Of

Fascism".

[asiliveandbreathe]

13. I have found the trash can for say, the pos, in DU "my account"..and our other

like MTG..helpful..some threads I use the trash button - has made life on DU so much more enjoyable..like Musk stories..you put it in the headline..I just don't see it..saturation is a no go for me..

[usonian]

14. I have a giant trash list.

But I have to alter my titles so I don't trash myself when a serious issue is associated with one of those lunatics.

For example, a certain San Francisco company installing beds in meeting rooms.
A clear violation of building and labor codes, and something that we can urge action against.

In addition, when a business is associated with said moron(s), those businesses can be boycotted.
I know of people who will be changing their auto brand ASAP.
And so on.

Indeed, my DU experience is much better than before the trash list expanded.
DU is half of my news aggregators. The other half is Hacker News (https://news.ycombinator.com) and while, being techie-focused, some real retrograde articles get listed there, it's useful. Some there complain of too much "non-tech" news, but this popped up today:

hatrack posted:
Climate Denial Moves To Downtown Crazytown; Globalists Will Take Your Steak, Car, Electricity
https://democraticunderground.com/1127157901

And right on time, Hacker News posted
TSMC founder Morris Chang says globalization 'almost dead'
https://democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1127&pid=157908

So, given that mere amplification of mental illness is bad for the psyche, there are often insights to be gained.
Keeping the trash list intact, though.

15. I'm a yes vote

[BlackSkimmer]

16. People here seem to follow these lunatics for some reason.

And all the links to Fox are just ridiculous.

[mercuryblues]

17. The only problem I see with this is

we'll need more days in the week

Supreme court nutjob day
trump day
Thankfully we escaped Walker Wednesdays
Cruz
Hawley
Graham
Gaetz
Carlson
Jordan
and so on...

[LakeArenal]

18. Then... they'll need to fight among themselves for nut job of the week.

[mercuryblues]

19. I like that idea

Friday Night wing nut fights,

[Initech]

20. Because this is what the GOP has devolved into.

A melting pot of lunatic talking heads (Hannity, Carlson, etc etc), batshit crazy conspiracy theorists (Greene, Boebert, Walker, etc) and racist extremists (Ye, Musk etc). But eh... as long as they keep talking and it costs them votes, I'm totally OK with all of it.

Pass the butter and enjoy the shit show.

21. So many lunatics, so few days to post about them

[LakeArenal]

22. After six years of them, I'm worn out.
