The majority of Americans think Russia did something. They don't all think Trump is a literal Manchurian candidate who is waiting for secret words to blow up America but not everybody thought Hillary was assassinating political rivals but they still voted for the people who pushed crazy narratives about Hillary because this poo poo is tribal.

Leftists get way too concerned about virtue signaling (I kind of hate myself for saying this) and often won't vote strategically because their ultra-pure ideals can't be corrupted by the very human nature of politics. Republicans on the other hand are fuelled by lust for death and power at all costs. What I'm saying is nothing matters and I'll have a number 4. I just want to see Trump's baby dick as twin streams of golden piss cascade down his face.

I actually don't care that Russia influence the 2016 election or whatever. I'm sure they've been doing that poo poo for years, same as we do to them. They just happened to be really successful at it this time around

What scares the poo poo out of me, what keeps me up at night, was the WAY they did it. Hacking the emails and "messing with vote totals" (which didn't happen) is the least of it. They exploited this MASSIVE psychic vulnerability that we've created for ourselves and didn't realize until now that we had: unrestricted social media. By creating thousands upon thousands of fake profiles (which are very easy to find btw, in case you're like NUH-UH), they were able to manipulate algorithms that pumped fake news into the minds of millions of conservative voters. They remotely brainwashed the right into believing conspiracy theories about Hillary being on death's door and such. And it's not because people on the right were dumb; it's because prior to now we've been trained to give equal weight to all news articles that popped up on our Facebook feeds.

And we didn't even realize that this was happening really, because the same algorthms that allowed this also hid them from us because they were only showing us what we wanted to see, which ended up creating a false bubble reality for ourselves where Hillary was so far ahead that respected institutions were giving her 99% chance of winning. And why wouldn't they? All the information that we were receiving pointed to it. It trapped even the most astute political commentators, and time and time again we were all baffled by election results (first the primaries, then the general) that didn't correlate with our (mediated) perception of reality

So, the real story here is that a foreign agent was able to gently caress with our minds remotely, when previously only our own government and media was allowed to brainwash us. That CANNOT be allowed to happen again, but because people are lazy FAKE NEWS has become Fox News or CNN according to your political leaning (instead of news coming from fake websites) and Russian Election Interference has become nebulous "hacking" instead of Reality Programkng (~Hypernormalization~~)


It's really frustrating and scary! But constantly saying "it was the dema fault, not the Russians!" or even solely focusing on whether Trump's campaign was a part of this effort, is to ignore what really is an existential issue for humanity as a hole that just happened to be revealed in this bizarre way. Also I'd like the BBQ sauce with that.

Well geis don't just stand there and explain the obvious and help us destroy the frogmen and magabot armies with memes and mcdonalds orders, are you some fresh rookie in this forever psychic war?

Oh no, you're a tourist who got lost at the hypernormal veil, that gate was supposed to be deactivated :thunk:

Remember how EMAILS EMAILS EMAILS was a thing for years even though nothing solid actually ever came of it and it was just procedural stuff being trumped up as death blows? Remember how it worked insanely well at depressing support of the candidate and convincing people that she was a criminal who literally executed people on DC streets in the middle of the night?

That's why the Russia stuff is important. Truth doesn't matter anymore lmao what kinda cuck uses that metric anymore

it doesn't work both ways

by your metric, that is people are treating trump the same as a dem candidate would be treated for the same crimes, trump woulda been drug out and shot by now

It's cool that

2) said two parties each have no loving clue what to do with power whenever they actually obtain it, and
3) every other party within arm's distance of actually becoming legitimate is full of even bigger loving morons that sabotage the attempted rise
