Part of the problem is that politicians think that Americans are just really stupid.... Another part of the problem is that politicians may not be wrong there

In 10min of scrolling I’ve seen this 4 times. She has an AI reposting - which is just the perfect example of another thing that AI can do, maybe sounds like a good idea, but in reality just adds to the slop and makes this experience worse.

To the "I didn't vote for this" folks. You voted for a convicted felon. A twice-impeached president. A man found liable for sexual abuse, who tried to overthrow an election. And now gas prices are surging, we're at war, and soldiers are coming home in coffins. This is what you voted for. All of it.

Reality is, if we want change with the U.S. government, voting isn't going to pull it.

We as a citizenry are going to have to step up and do the necessary dirty work. And longtime friends know precisely what I mean.

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.

No surprises, surely?

Candidate is arrogant charmless TV presenter & hates everything: lose.

Campaign is entitled technocracy + smearing left-liberalism: lose.

Candidate is local & can make OK speech about how a good job should lead to a good life: win.

Normal politics is trying to be born.

HOT TIP: if you vote early, then within a day or two campaign staff will be able to see that you've voted (but 𝗻𝗼𝘁 who you voted for) and then you'll stop getting the annoying calls and texts.

Mailers will keep coming until March 16. But vote early if you're sick of those texts and calls!

The second you leave this country for even a few days, you realize the place you call home is decaying at an almost exponential pace. The realization that you don't have to live like this is stark, and that nobody in power is taking tangible actions to fix it in your lifetime is even starker.

So, if you don’t understand why we would do this here - much like Bad Bunny’s halftime performance - maybe you weren’t the intended audience.

Why here? For us. This is our community too - and with a united voice we can change it. We don’t have to settle for the world the good ol’ boys created. Do you want to change it? Hello! Welcome! 200 voices can make it happen.

Why here? For us. For those afraid of being taken as they leave for work. For those who fear for the safety of family members. Hello, friend. I have proof you aren’t alone.

Why did we do this here? For us. For the people who are against this evil but stay silent because of how loud the screaming red hats are. If that’s you, hello! Hi! Guess what - you have about 200 neighbors on your side. Take courage. Speak out.

“Why are you doing this here?” I’ve gotten this question a lot lately. The insinuation behind it being: “You know this is MAGA land - you have no support here - so why here?”
