They don’t see what he’s done and what he’s said. The people that put him over the edge this time were targeted for being ill-informed and tempted by magic wand campaign promises like “no tax on tips” or dumb things like gold sneakers. They aren’t watching informed news or doing research about his past performance. They’re simply voting on vibe alone and have been heavily targeted on social media to make them think everything sucks and he’s the only one who can fix everything when in fact he’s the complete opposite of them.

Kamala should seize on this and say she’d push for statehood, if not for anything other than to watch Republicans say they would oppose it.

I fear it won’t be centralized just in Washington this time and they could try to take many state houses that simply aren’t prepared as the Capital clearly will be. There was a clip of two men walking away from Jan 6 that haunts me. They were remarking on what an incredible day it was, and one of them says, “but next time we bring the guns”. If 100k armed idiots people show up at the Capital looking for a ‘revolution’, cops aren’t going to be enough. And even worse if they take to local streets looking for anybody who opposes them. I hope the fever doesn’t get that high, but I’ll for sure to be staying far away from any of those crazies for a while.

I made a Mastodon account during that blitz in '22. Yes, content wasn’t there yet, but honestly, it was the interface for me. It’s UI didn’t feel simplistic enough to me as someone just getting started with it.

Lemmy may have faced a similar fate for me if it weren’t for the smooth interface of Sync to be honest. I know many on here are leaps and bounds beyond my tech proficiency, but so many folks are still in the stone ages writing their passwords on post-it notes etc so to think that they’d adopt something like Mastodon over Twitter or Lemmy over Reddit seems like the bigger counterparts will always win just on sign-up flow and instant gratification.

Sounds like this clown lives in that one blip in Nebraska or whatever that can impact shit, you know what to do bois. Electoral vote this mofo out the comments section! /s (chill)

SAMESIES ❤️

Well, concepts of a plan

I remember being in 3rd grade and learning about the electoral college and thinking, “that’s the stupidest fucking thing I’ve ever heard of”. Still true to this day.

I’ve also been thinking and expecting that they will create their own fraud this time. Evidence is what they were missing last time around. So imagine this time, drop boxes get flooded with phony ballots that they themselves put in for Kamala. Then they can point the finger and say “See! We told you so!” and it’s enough for the state legislations not to certify and call things into question.

Lol, never said I was important. It can be a great source of information and news and I enjoy staying up-to-date on stories big and small. That’s the hard part to walk away from. Take 'er down a notch.

Not at all, I’ve been feeling that it’s time to move on for a while now. It’s hard to leave because I do care about staying active and up-to-date on political discourse, but this truly doesn’t feel like that’s what it is any more. It’s yelling into a void. I fear for the sake of many less in tune with what political discourse should be that this is the only diet they’re being fed anymore. It’s a scary path we’re headed down. All the love to you as well, stay groovy 🤙

You’re 100% right.

I’m sure like many, my ‘X’ feed has felt injected with right wing posts since Elon took over. Just maybe two or three days ago, I noticed a new trend of posts it was serving to me. This whole weird new trough of posts has been super alpha male vibes and ‘hot’ women shaming men for playing video games. I legit wonder if this story has anything to do with why that’s being targeted at me, a very casual gamer, now.

Note to self: sell laptop on Facebook marketplace in September 2025

A couple of drops of chili oil atop this and I’d house it. Well done on the egg, it’s the worst when a ramen place puts a hard boiled egg in there instead of a jammy one. Job well done!
