    This doesn’t change how important it will be to vote

    But damn. I went from worried about a trump reelection to just enjoying watching him crash and burn.

      Agreed on the voting, but I have to wonder if they are really that upset with him, or a few rabble rousers at truthsocial made just enough of a splash to be noticed.

      And are they so upset they won’t vote for him? Time and time again it seems clear that with Republicans the answer is always “nah.”

        And keeping in mind much of the fediverse is very “US left” so if you’re seeing a bunch of anti-Trump news articles everyday, you’d be as deluded of the actual position as someone seeing a bunch of anti-Harris shit in their feeds all day. Especially since many users don’t actually read anything but the headlines as they scroll.

          Yeah that’s kinda true, but I did peek at /r/conservative yesterday and it’s not that there is a feed of articles there similar to the sort of thing we have here but with opposing views, it’s mostly empty tripe as far as I can tell. Once again the “both sides” argument (not that this was your intent I think) doesn’t really stand up to scrutiny.

      I’ll stop worrying when Harris is sworn in as President. It’s clear that Trump and his “sleeper cells” aren’t going to stand by and simply hope the election falls their way.

      The New Republic can tell you how beltway and NYC libs feel. They’re not very credible for any other group. Their only data point for this story is 400 retweets of “trumpisacoward” on truth social.
