The fact that you got downvotes for this just shows how out of touch so many Lemmy users are. This is like the third time I’ve seen comments like yours take a hit because of the aversion to truth around here.
Coming up as 3 downvotes on my client. I wouldn't say that's 'so many Lemmy users ' or am I missing something?
It’s early. And because I’ve seen this same sentiment across several threads.

This guy in particular was in the negative 60s and higher when I first came through. They’re still negative but less so.
Very not negative for me with 50ish up and 7down.
I wonder what's happening...
And your comment shows how out of touch you are. Correcting a claim that was off a few months decades ago isn’t even in the same stratosphere as refusing to acknowledge Trump lost the 2020 election. You’ve been brainwashed to normalize traitors.
Emotions run high around politics right now. Can't I say I blame people for that. Shits fucked. And there is friendly fire from time to time when people feel like saying or acknowledging anything bad about "your side" is strengthening "the other side". And hell maybe they're right I don't know. It's all very subjective.
I would say Lemmy is very heavy on emotions. Not a diss on Lemmy. I think it's a great platform but my god! It's like being stuck in an elevator with the angriest hormonal teens on the planet. Everyone, jeesus, please just chill and have a convo. My god.
