Either it's women using filters to touch up their images, or it's AI slop being pushed to artificially inflate app userbases and make it look like there are actually women on the platform....

Bernie Sanders reflected on it stating that it was the Democrats failing the working class that won Trump the election, and people in the Democratic Party denounced him for it.

Yes to all the above, and probably a mix of bots and terminally online people getting involved. Not sure what year everyone started becoming unhinged but I think it was at least mid-2010's.

People are now being perma banned from r/pics of all places for merely posting on the Asmongold subreddit. Yes, it's become something of an anti-woke echo chamber in recent months, but it's the main subreddit of Twitch's most popular streamer.

And now we wondered why 74.7 million Americans voted for Donald Trump last week. Because maybe telling your voters that they're Nazi scum if they don't agree with you isn't a winning strategy, like the world view that most Reddit moderators have.

What's stopping him from doing a Nayib Bukele, calling a state of emergency, mobilising the armed forces and using them to coerce the House and Senate into passing laws?

I hadn't even considered that...

If his plan is to fire tens of thousands of civil servants, district justices, etc and place his own loyalists into office, then there is a very real chance he can legally intimidate the Democrats into passing constitutional amendments.

Don't constitutional amendments require a supermajority to push through?

Called it, using Allan Lichtman's own 13 keys principle (in ways that he himself overlooked), and on a heavily downvoted comment.

Where I was wrong was with how narrow the result would he. It wasn't even Gore v Bush levels of close unlike when Lichtman's 13 keys prediction previously failed. Kamala lost the popular vote to a convicted felon that tried to usurp democracy and is the reason why abortion is no longer a federal right. The Republicans spent the last few weeks crapping on Haitians and Puerto Ricans, yet won some districts with large Latino populations.

This is what happens when Democrats ignore their voter base and choose a cabal of unpopular and uncharismatic candidates to carry the torch. The bar is now so low that we need James Cameron to venture out into the Mariana Trench and lift it back up again...

Bernie Sanders

Pete Buttigieg

Or if they could have approached a very popular celebrity such as Dwayne Johnson or Taylor Swift and asked them to run.

Even Andrew Yang could have produced a better result if he made a better campaign pitch than focusing his solely on leftist pipe dreams that will bankrupt the country such as UBI.

I'd argue the opposite.

The fact that Americans are possibly still voting for someone who will bring in the Fourth Reich if elected, over the first female president is a sign of just how badly Democrats have dropped the ball. ESPECIALLY after Jan 6th.

Don't get me wrong. I hope that I'm wrong and Harris mops the floor with Trump, but the polls on 538 aren't giving me much hope
