More evidence of the increasing polarization of American politics. Oregon Republicans boycotted the statehouse for a ninth day on Thursday, denying lawmakers the quorum necessary to pass legislation ...https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/may/12/oregon-republican-boycott-statehouse-abortion-gun-control#war #usa #Politics

@Stegasaurus#politicsNo, no, no.It’s not “polarization”. That falsely implies that it’s both sides.The reality is that the RNC has gone full fascist, while the DNC has repeatedly rejected its lunatic fringe.It’s not polarization!

@TruthSandwich @GhostOnTheHalfShell Both good points.I'm looking at it relativistically as distance between two groups. The Republicans have a base voting for them, as do the Democrats.But even if the Republican base is pro choice, their politicians are playing their own game.And shutting down government is one step closer to forcibly taking it over.

@Stegasaurus @GhostOnTheHalfShellThe distance has increased, but while the DNC has shifted gradually to the left, the RNC has jerked hard to the right.The RNC base consists of third of Americans who are fascists.

@freemo @Stegasaurus @GhostOnTheHalfShellNope, I didn’t mute the convo or anyone in it.And the problem persists as the thread grows.Note that I did see your response in my mentions, so it’s probably @Stegasaurus , not the thread. Or maybe it’s the fact that they’re not local?

@freemo @Stegasaurus @GhostOnTheHalfShellMaybe? But they responded with the “Both good points.” toot. I guess it’s possible that they muted me as soon as they responded?Which would be strange, but people are.Really, I’m not highly concerned about this one exchange. I’m more worried that notifications among instances aren’t propagating.

@freemo @Stegasaurus @GhostOnTheHalfShellAnd I likewise won’t see them in mine?Odd.I’m tempted to just ask them if they muted me, but if they have, then they probably won’t see my request. 🙂

@freemo @Stegasaurus @GhostOnTheHalfShellThe thing that confuses me is that their “Totally agree.” toot after their “Both good points.” toot, which means they’re either getting notified or are looking at the thread on their own.As the latter sounds unlikely…

@freemo @Stegasaurus @GhostOnTheHalfShellWithout their cooperation, or that of whoever runs their instance, this will likely remain a mystery.
