Look we all knew the dems were gonna do dodgy shit in the state elections. Anyone who says they expected otherwise is lying to themselves. So it is not a shock yesterday was a faux landslide for blue, at least not to me.
We all knew that a socialist was going to take NYC because its people are stupid enough to think socialism could work. It was the surest of the results we could have gotten, and it is a teaching exercise for those who think socialism actually works.
You can claim that something would happen to fix it before the state elections, but there is no reason to presume that after only a year, all issues with elections would suddenly be fixed. So yeah, all you "trump was the psyop" doomers can go back to the cia and honk your horns. High energy only here, remember?
You can rage, and scream, and down blackpills like tictacs, but what is that going to do for you? Make you look like a shill, or make you completely misunderstand what those elections were. They were a highlight to the fact at present those events don't matter in the global scheme of things, save for the fact that rigging and voter manipulation still is going on.
Trump is focusing on international trade, breaking UK/ccp death grips, fighting Nigerian islamists via threats, and the wider large scale federal injustice. The government has been shutdown most likely to force this outcome on Tuesday. When they reopen the next day or the day after, it will be a confirmed rationale.
But in reality, what will come of it?
- NYC won't get theoney for the new mayor to spend the way he wants to
- VA will go back to pre-youngkin years and guarantee the switch back to the gop
- Jim Jones will probably get arrested at this rate by next month
- NJ will be the same as it ever was.
So yeah, stop panicking, and desensitise yourself from the news cycle. Watch some pet videos. Binge classic comedies. Do something to get outta your head. When you do that, then come on back and be reasonable again.
I dunno. People waffle back and forth between "It's all part of The Plan!" to "It's obvious voter fraud!" From "there really aren't that many liberals in the US, we're the silent majority by far" to "Liberals are overrunning the state I live in, I need to move, there's just too many of them!" and from "Liberals are moving into red counties/states and fucking things up here by bringing in their values and taxes!" to "It's obviously fraud that we're seeing spikes of liberal voters in historically red counties/states!".
I'm just tired of the constant self contradicting and people flip flopping on what they believe, based on whatever side is most convenient at the time.
It's like people don't even listen to themselves or each other. It's basically whoever can shout down everyone else that the forum seems to swing in that direction, whatever it may be.
Remember during the election, when people were talking about the HUGE changes that were supposed to happen on Day One? And how cleaning up the elections was going to be one of those. And the entire point of having Trump back in office was so we could put an end to this bullshit?
But now we're being told, "Just kidding, it's going to be the same as before...gotcha! But, no, really, trust The Plan."
I'm pretty tired of people telling me to trust The Plan, when they've been waaaay off target on what The Plan actually is. This is what I was talking about earlier when I said those who were loudest usually got to sway what the general consensus of the board says The Plan is.
But you can't point out how often that we've been spectacularly wrong about what The Plan was because then you get called a doomer and/or a shill, so....🤷♀️
Anyway, I don't post or lurk nearly as much as I used to, and it seems like plenty of others have done the same as well, because this place gets quieter and quieter as time goes by.
And this isn't just my opinion. You can just look at the numbers of posts and responses here now and compare them to what they were like when the board first started, or even just a year ago. Or go to any analytics tracker sites and look at the numbers over time. People get really upset when I point this out, like by me pointing it out, it means that I'm responsible for it.
So, yeah....😕
Exactamundo, I agree bigly.
