Sort of. Just have to make sure to spread that discontent over social media too, since people largely react to what they see in their social groups more than anything else.

The hardest one to make sense of is that 26% of _Ukrainians_ think a Trump Presidency will be good for them (as opposed to 20% thinking it will be bad). I can't work out the reasoning there at all.
As the premier forum for crankiness I'm sure social media will not lack for this content should it come to pass. Going to be funny to watch Trump lean on Zuckerberg/Musk to try to tamp it down through censoring posts.
There is no cost unless Trump's supporter rebel.
Thats like falling past the event horizon of a black hole and be screaming I WAS RIGHT ... no one is gonna hear you.Yes, I look forward to the same people who complained about the Biden admin “pressuring” social media, be completely silent as the social media platforms now being ran by “the government” actually engage in censorship. It’ll be just one more thing they are hypocrites about.
no one knows wtf is going on but they are pissed in israelWhat the actual fuck??
Paul Krugman is on that job too! He has a good interview article on Alternet today, explaining why Trump voters are being “brutally scammed”. Hmm, google found it on New Republic.Before Trump tries to take credit for any lower food prices, eggs here went up from $2.39 to 4.49 in the last month due to bird flu
When prices return to normal Trump will try taking credit. Just putting out the truth in advance.

Paul Krugman: Trump Voters Are Already Getting “Brutally Scammed”
The Nobel laureate explains why the good economy Trump is inheriting is already forcing him to fabricate fake rationales for his coming tariffs and deportations—and how his voters will be the losers.newrepublic.com
It's not just the R voters. It's a good chunk across the spectrum. Those voters were happy to take their cues from their social circles, but now they're hooked into a 24/7 social rage machine that feeds them whatever their algorithm thinks they want to hear about. And there is intense psychological pressure for humans to adopt opinions that they think will help them fit in with their group.I think the lesson here is that a lot of R voters don't give a shit and choose to remain ignorant. They will never hear about the bullshit. They certainly don't read and seek out truth.
I dont know what the answer is here, but until the Democratic machine understands this andcomes up with a way to inform the masses, we will remain in the slide to the bottom.
Yeah, a large chunk are really too far gone at this point. And it looks like the momentum of the "slide" is picking up. The changes just since the election are not encouraging.It's not just the R voters. It's a good chunk across the spectrum.

Relatedly, I saw a semi-viral post this morning where someone blamed Obama for not bullying pulpit-ing enough to get a public option, completely misremembering history that they claimed to experience first-hand. Where did they get this nonsense from? It's all fed to them from their social media. "Some person who looks just like me and tells me things I like to hear said it, so it must be true."
Um, Obama did abdicate his leadership role in the development of the ACA. He got the ball rolling in Congress and then wandered off to look at flowers or something, squandering the enormous political capital he started with. The result might have been the same if he had put more effort into it but we'll never know.It's not just the R voters. It's a good chunk across the spectrum.

Nothing Congress likes more than the president meddling in the nitty gritty of their legislation.Um, Obama did abdicate his leadership role in the development of the ACA.

I know they're pieces of shit, but those are seriously terrible names on par with how trump characterizes people he doesn't like. Terrible as in they are childish and lack any sense of creativity. You can do better than that.You mean MUCK and ramaSWAMPY
