People both on Truth Social and on GAW are melting down in hysterics right now over Thune getting the Senate Majority Leader position, just like the leftists melting down over Trump winning 2024 election. If I didn't know any better, I would've thought that Trump and Vance both got assassinated, and the Democrats strangled a puppy in front of us.
But, objectively, how bad is Thune to the MAGA agenda, because I suspect that this is not unexpected and Trump probably has a plan to get through this obstacle. I do not think this is the death of MAGA people are making it out to be. As ULTRA Pepe Lives Matter says:
As long as Thune plays ball with Trump and gets his cabinet filled quickly, he'll still be better than the turtle. If he doesn't help, they remove him.
Who knows, maybe Thune might turn a leaf and start playing ball in Trump's favor. Look at Vance and see proof of transformation from Never-Trumper to MAGA-Man.
That is what's been bothering me the most. Many people are throwing theories left and right on what might happen, rarely with any backing evidence, and the general GAW and Truth Social user base magnify them by a lot, with the most dramatic and "exciting" sounding theories getting the most attention and reaction and hype.
Rare are the times where people sit down, calm their emotions, and critically evaluate which theories are the most plausible and which ones are just fever dreams.
Truth Social falls into this emotional trap quite a bit, but I am disappointed that GAW falls for the same traps too, despite proclaiming to be better researchers.
Another thing I dislike is that even here on GAW we will upvote posts that are categorically false or taken out of context, just because it matches our views or biases. That's why my process is to verify before upvoting in most cases. Because I feel like we should hold ourselves to a higher standard and not fall into the same traps as the left.
