What's that, dems still hold the reins of power? Great news right! They will implement protections and codify norms, in these final moments, to put safeguards in place against a fascist take over. I mean they could of done it when they slightly held all three branches but they were super busy with other stuff. They can do it now, for sure right?

Ugh

Ugh I guess my caption would be, "crickets, I don't hear any crickets."

Reddit will be a Frankenstein like Facebook and will refuse to die. They will find a way to monetize it while also forcing right wing engagement. Right wingers will be thrilled for some time thinking they are now the "cool reddit people"(lol) while never realizing everyone stopped caring.

Individual subs will still be as active as they always were. Mod support will wane. At the end of maybe year 5 you'll look at the site and it will be unrecognizable. Just another captured audience too entrenched to ever leave the platform.

None of this should worry you. Reddit isn't popular because a left wing person owns it. It's political lean is entirely from its users. Changing who owns the space doesn't erase left leaning people. They just go somewhere else. After having used lemmy for some time, I'm fairly confident it will be here. Even if not, wherever it is will be new and cool and away from right wing shit bags. It's almost exciting to think about having a new space to explore.

Oh, I'm not worried, any day now the democrats will miraculously put guys like musk in their place. Despite being on the losing end of every political skirmish for the last 50 years and their incessant need to cozy up to oligarchs like him.

Nothing to worry about here because we're going to "resist" and "fight" by giving all our political goodwill to a party that will turn it into nothing by losing to 21st century fascists.

Hey, if you talk shit on the DNC, I got your back, if you got mine.

And I'm not saying from some right winger insane asylum talking points. I'm saying the DNC is impotent and constantly confuses a left wing agenda with middle of the road upholding the status quo.

Jesus, this asshole had been a plague on politics for years and just the slightest amount of sunlight shone on him and he bursts into flames. The Trump effect is truly crazy.

Edit:

We might be taking for granted what this really tells us. Conservatives are so isolated just by being too vile to interact with they are truly oblivious to what's going on around them. For what ever reason negative Gaetz shit appeared in their feed somehow and he wilted immediately. Maybe it was MTG blowing him up but how ever it happened there is a soft spot we've overlooked.

All I see is a dude who had a limited amount of fucks to give.

I think the opposite. They are bound to use the data to train an AI. In doing so they are about to create the stupidest thing that ever exsisted.

At 15 the thing i wanted most in the world was an escape hatch from all these other assholes I had to spend my time with everyday at school. Right around that time Facebook arrived ensuring they would have more access to me and the people around me more then any other time in history.

See, he said roe v made was settled law. There's no way he was insincere when he said that. Otherwise people might get to thinking he did try to rape that women.
