Hopium merchants share a lot of the responsibility for the whiplash. This is why you cannot force people to feel certain ways. You can't will something into existence, and suppress it if they don't agree with you or your assessments.
The people who weren't listening when people like me were trying to tell them to temper expectations also have a responsibility though.
Last night there was a dude who I swear could not have been organic in that general thread, but no handshake. He went from all in hype for Trump to "I'm done, I'm out, I'm deleting my account"
And if that person was organic, then holy Batman ballsack that's why people need to be more realistic and skeptical instead of blindly optimistic.
There were dozens of threads stickied by these same very mods now attacking a chunk of thr community that were saying "Trumps announcement is the storm!", "He's gonna come out with Generals!", "He's going to announce devolution was taking place this whole time!".
As if. I've been around the block. Nothing good ever happens. We only get perceived wins to kick the can down the road all the while the noose tightens.
Next goal post? Will those House actually investigate anything or will it all be for show like Benghazi? Will Durham ever produce a smoking gun or is he intent on "painting a narrative"?
All of those people promising the storm and all manners of hopium should have their thread making rights revoked.
I agree. I imagine people aren't thrilled with me right now, because I've called out all sides. The leavers, the people with blind hopium, the mods, everyone. The only one I haven't called out is Trump, because I knew what the announcement was going to be. It was obvious and it was also leaked ahead of time.
