Republicans also won the house and senate.

With the combined total of a right controlled presidency, congress, and supreme court what can’t they do?

So just allow Hitler to take over europe and make an ethnostate through mass exodus?

If you’re talking about the nukes, I agree, they were unnecessary as Axis Japan was already on the decline.

But to argue the entire war was preventable by just displacing jewish people is naive and borders on antisemitic.

There might’ve been ways to prevent the war from starting, like not destroying Germany’s economy as a scapegoat for WW1 would have done a lot.

But after the Nazis siezed power there’s nothing you could do to diplomacy the Nazis into being peaceful.

That’s part of it but it’s not that we don’t know how, it’s that google search is ruined now.

Paid advertisements floating to the top, search engine optimization completely ruining any form of categorization, a deluge of spam websites that pump out irrelevant articles full of keywords (ironically now using GPT to make more articles).

If you want to actually get real people talking you have to append “reddit” to the end. But now Reddit is also becoming shitty for search.

Nowadays people realize if all you get from google search is ai and social media, then why not skip the middle man? Hence people using ai and even Tiktok in place of Google.

I personally use Claude to ask for niche questions and it actually gets to the point answering what I’m asking. (I double check using the terms it gives me to read more on Wikipedia and ect.)

It’s like an awful combination of a boomer making a flirtatious “joke” and the hyper nerdy language of The Big Bang Theory show.

And it’s a hilarious coincidence that it resulted in the southern most point being Antarctica, as it just happens to be the only continent without bears.

I feel like an average person or group of people are of average intelligence.

But huge masses of people? They begin to adopt emergent traits that cancel out individual intelligence. It’s why foot traffic can be modelled as a liquid. Or why the entire field of economics can exist.

This makes large public masses have predictable behavior that’s exploitable by grifters, demagogues, and propaganda.

If he was that competent why would he resort to openly pumping and dumping meme coins in public just prior to this stunt.

He has some dangerous strings he can pull, but that doesn’t make him a good puppet master.

Correct me if I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure he gave an outlandish bid for Twitter to manipulate it’s stock prices when he pulled put, but he was sued into following through.

I don’t think he ever wanted to buy it, or at least he wanted to crash it’s value to come back and buy it on the cheap.

This would he concerning if I wasn’t convince that Walz would sit him down and correct him like a disappointed father.

If anyone could make a politician seem like a child to their face it’d be him, and especially if that politician is Vance.

I don’t find them funny but more amazed that we’ve distilled the concept into an immortal simple symbol.

Like kilroy or the cool S, loss will ironically never be lost :.|:;

I for one believe Bugs is Cis and thus is the worlds biggest drag queen icon.

Hopefully the loopholes of executive power that enabled that crackpot plan will be closed up by then…

Yeah I know, a lot to ask for.

It was, infact, not all good there.

From a game theory perspective, a trumper discouraged to vote is worth 1 vote, a flipped Republican vote is worth 2 votes.

So the appeal to the right makes sense if it works, because every vote from that camp is also a negative vote from Trump.

I have the hope that she’ll end up being more progressive after votes are counted.

Partially because she has Walz which is a good sign, but mostly I’m hoping for hopes sake. 🤞

This is dumb, I deeply love it.

This feels like something an incel would seriously suggest.

When you want to be like Putin so badly you adopt his leadership style:

While watching the debate it was funny watching Trump say she’ll end fracking like that’s a bad thing (though even with green energy, I do admit we’d still need it for plastic).

I joked “next he’ll attack her by saying she’ll drive up green energy” then he literally did. Said she’d return to windmills and dare to use desert land for solar panels, oh the humanity xD.

Thing is Trump made his most ridiculous statements highly memeable.

“They’re eating the dogs!” is gonna live on like “They’re turning the fricken frogs gay!”

That might draw enough of the disinterested crowd to figure out what happened that night.
