  Why the fuck is the media suppressing them?

  To be fair, this doesn’t make any statements about attendance.

  Not only mass media, but social media algorithms as well. Big tech is complacent in the coup

  Canada here. We see nothing about Murcan protests, if they exist. We just hear Canadians/politicians reacting negatively to pretty much everything coming out of the white house.

  We ask each other how can Murcans be okay with being treated like this. Don’t they understand what’s happening?

    I really hope you’re right. I’m actually very scared that they’ll take over our social media this election season and we’ll get fucked as well.

      They already took over social media, that was the final push that put a literal conman back in the Whitehouse.

        In Canada we see a lot less of that due to rules around news and reporting on social media, but there’s a push for better regulation still. I worry it’s not enough to keep us clear of the conservatives this election.

      I really hope our people are smart enough to know when they’re being manipulated as the MAGAts have been. It looks like our cons are waking up though, and realizing that it’s not the time for smöl ~PP~

    No. Overwhelmingly, no, they don’t. The MAGA crowd is stuck to their pants with glee, the liberal crowd is going “oh well, we’ll get em in the midterms,” and about another third of the country is just brain-dead clueless about all of it. Maybe a few thousand people in the US actually understand just how close we are to cascading systemic collapse.
