Here’s the relevant issue on the GitHub repo: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4340

not() is a base function that negates what’s inside (turning True to False and vice versa) giving it no parameter returns “True” (because no parameter counts as False)

Actually, not is an operator. It makes more sense if you write not() as not () - the () is an empty tuple. An empty tuple is falsy in Python, so not () evaluates to True.

Oh, really? That’s disappointing to hear; I had no idea he was like that.

The headline uses the word “demagogue” to describe Trump. “Demagogue” is defined as:

A political leader who seeks support by appealing to the desires and prejudices of ordinary people rather than by using rational argument.

I think OC is arguing that the article hints that Trump’s campaign is devoid of rational argument by using this word, which would imply that they aren’t exactly on Trump’s side. I’m not personally familiar with the Guardian’s political standpoint, though.
