The no true Scotsman fallacy at play with the GOP.
“but there’s no users on lemmy”
It’s definitely a chicken and the egg situation.
I’ve been lurking here the past few days when I saw lemmy as a reddit alternative. I decided to sign up today as lurking isn’t doing this place any favors. Hopefully more people will sign up, and the momentum will build and continue.
I feel the 3rd kind have have mostly abandoned the GOP entirely which is unfortunate, because they are typically pragmatic and can be reasoned with. The true believers are definitely concerning since they’re typically far more ideologically extreme and reactionary. I feel the power/money seekers are slowly being purged and replaced by the aforementioned true believers which is just a powder keg waiting to be lit.
Hopefully it’ll never reach critical mass, but I fear it’ll likely occur in the not too distant future…
