“I didn’t vote for the lady who wouldn’t commit to stopping Israel (but I knew wouldn’t shred the economy)
even though the alternative was a man very openly supportive of Israel and is now actively deporting pro-Palestine and providing Israel all the weapons it needs
'Cuz obviously both parties are the same”
Quite frankly, I have no respect for anyone who took this position. Whether influenced by propaganda or… whatever… I honestly don’t know how you can say you didn’t see what a threat Trump would be (not you personally), especially in retrospect.
I’m again going to push back and say that a massive propaganda campaign, similar to 2016, is what won them the election. Crypto dumped $146 million into he election. Elon personally put something like $250 million in, AND did the “raffles” to get people to vote (not raffles, it was a lie, admitted in court)… AND he openly used Twitter to influence the election. Zuck is in with the same guys that Musk is – Thiel, etc (I say “in” loosely for Musk) and if you don’t think they also used FB you’re a fool.
But propaganda isn’t an excuse, because it requires some lack of not intentionally trying to expose yourself to new & different sources of news, but more importantly, different perspectives. And a complete detachment or ignorance from Trump’s first presidency.
MAGA was always a traitor party.

The Elon thing is possible, and there’s a screenshot in the Reddit thread that’s kinda convincing, but I’m still not bought in.
Tinfoil hat brain is wondering if there’s something in there someone’s supposed to find but 😂 🤷🏻

That’s literally the point. Social media is literally one of Peter Thiel & co’s weapons to overthrow & destabilize democracies. If they succeed in the US, they plan to do it to every democracy.
Easy to frame lies as “free speech” when you control what everyone gets to see

Refugee here. Think I’d agree. A subconscious bias / misunderstanding we bought into
