The average republican voter (and American voter, regardless of party preference, really) doesn’t actually understand how our government works. They think they vote November 2-8th, and the new government takes office as soon as the television declares a winner. And this includes people who participated in the January 6th insurrection. Some people who were there did not understand that what was really going on was an attempt to disrupt the certification of the electoral college ballots. They thought they were preventing a hostile government takeover (ironic). This is how powerful propaganda can be. It can inflame people who only kind of know what’s going on into thinking they’re experts. It tricks the sleeping into thinking they are away

one piece wins you over in phases. it starts out kinda operating in the “i wouldn’t have sought this out initially, but it’s fine enough to keep reading” until you get to a point where it’s fully won you over and you have to know what happens next because it’s your favorite thing

this is what it feels like for me interacting with naruto fans

Yup. We can’t vote for the best possible outcome until our voting system lets us. Now we might never get the chance in my lifetime. The goal needed to be to vote in the best possible outcome candidate (the lesser of two evils in a binary choice election) and keep advocating for election reform. But instead we’re here, with the eviler of two evils in a binary choice election, and the possibility we’ll never get to vote again.

the number of republican voters i encountered after the election who weren’t worried about project 2025 because they were going to vote against it in 2025…

meta employees need to unionize and strike. honest to god for the good of all mankind. facebook is an incredibly dangerous propaganda tool

the weird cube man has been dicking around the Ukrainians over his satellite service since before he got involved in the election he just won. if you look into the history of spacex, a meeting with russia looms large in its early history. i personally think he’s been a kremlin asset since 2004, at least.

based on the blocked out windows it looks like a banner to me
