The "duped voter" narrative is a comforting myth. If only we had better messaging. The reality is tens of millions of voters looked at a platform of mass deportation, ethnic cleansing, state violence, and the dismantling of civil rights, clearly understood it, and said, "Yes, that is what I want."

The information deficit model for voter/consumer behaviour was found wanting decades ago when it came to climate change. Facts do not often play a major role in people's motivations.

I am kind of worried about data that only exists in volatile media, like failing hard drives. I'm glad the internet archive exists, but it seems vulnerable. I go to: www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/ Every once in awhile to verify SOMEONE is backing stuff up. #DataHoarder
Absolutely. I recently started donating monthly to Internet Archive because that place is needed now more than ever and AI is making it more difficult for them to do their important work. www.msn.com/en-us/news/t...
Yes it seems very bad that people ignore #robots.txt when they train AI.

ZeteoIf you’ve criticized a corporation, protested ICE, or publicly condemned Trump’s Iran war, your posts could be monitored and passed to the FBI. Leaked emails show Trump’s admin is training police to help it target left-wing dissent. Read Dan Boguslaw’s latest: zeteo.com/p/trump-fbi-...
The only moral question involved in evaluating whether an adversarial action should be taken against a Republican is whether it will positively advance leftist causes. There's plenty of stuff that feels right at the time, but has counterproductive ramifications...but because Reps deserve better? Nah

Yes--but the irony is that most of those voters never were "at the top of it" nor will they EVER be. They just thought they were entitled to it, with the political rhetoric reinforcing that belief, while the actual people on top robbed them again and again and ensured they would NEVER be at the top.
It's the individualism their parents groomed into them. This was a very long time in the making. They're desperate for their own survival they're not gaf about everyones ability to survive. Regardless our Republic is already ☠️. Center your msg to oppressive legislation. bsky.app/profile/vlf7...
🔥🗽🔥SoCal Redhead🔥🗽🔥Spread & save this. It's literally how we fix the system. We've all just been a part of the longest social science experiment to stop history from repeating. Oppression is why it repeats. How can we learn as long as education remains a privilege and varies?
