There was a massively popular post a few days ago essentially calling all Americans fat, lazy, assholes that are allowing Trump to ruin the world. It specifically targeted those of us that did not vote for Trump.
It was divisive, unhelpful, and idioticly ignorant. I was told by multiple people to start riots in my small blue city in California, and to personally martyr myself to take out problematic people.
I think it got taken down, but only because the person who posted it changed their entire post to rant about how shitty the moderators were. Ironically, I actually agreed with OP after that change, considering they never took any of those posts down inciting absolutely pointless violence.
Edit: I'll name and shame. It was "Political Memes@lemmy.world". I have a very negative view of them at this point. I suspect the thread was loaded with propagandists trying to weaken all of us fighting against fascism.
