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.
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.
