SCIENCE



It’s loving insane how fast the right wing media machine refocused in less than 24 hours to prop up a Vivek/Trump ticket.

The entirety of the Atlantic's reporting both during and after Trump's presidency has been "YOU SHOULD BE MORE AFRAID OF TRUMP AND WHAT HE'S DOING. NO, MORE AFRAID THAN THAT. YOU AREN'T AFRAID ENOUGH!"

The point of the article isn't to encourage people to try to understand Trump and his plucky li'l supporters, it's to get people to stop seeing Trump as an "abstraction" and understand that they should BE MORE AFRAID that he might be reelected. Which might be a reasonable ask in a vacuum, but given the Atlantic's last few years, it's pretty nakedly an attempt to pump up the fear-o-meter so people will buy and read more Atlantic articles about how MORE AFRAID they should be of Trump. This is absolutely an example of the media profiting off the appearance of a close election.

Yeah, that would be the republican.

I think these polls that ask indirect questions about the race might actually contain more information than polls on head-to-head match ups. It looks like a poll breaking 53/47 for Biden without having asked the question.

Isn't this a thing in psychology studies already? Like when they conduct studies, what they tell study participants the purpose of the study very frequently isn't what they're actually investigating?

LMAO that someone thinks Vivek would be Donald Trumps VP when in reality its going to be the last Republican woman he talk to which will probably be Kari Lake or someone else like that.


Like they'll be looking for a VP and then Kari Lake will pop out of a bush or something and be like "ME"

if Vivek was vice prez he would def murder trump and then come out sprayed orange with his hair bleached and combed over, recreating the religion of maga with him as the replacement godhead. the original cult of maga who knows of the true trump would be driven underground and hunted by the neo magat forces, clutching their fetishes and waiting for the day the true trumpchild is reborn

Winters cold therefor climate change doesn't exist. Then he just drew caricatures of the GOP politicians as hey they were in a thing that happened during winter!

So yeah two unrelated ideas -well an idea and a half really- smashed together to make a somewhat incoherent whole.

Honestly I think he just felt like drawing an evil snowman and filled the rest in from there.

It is in fact possible for different outlets to take different strategies to sell clicks, yes. But both of these strategies require the appearance of a close election.

This is kind of nonsensical? Either Trump is a threat or he's not, and if he is then you're sounding the alarm for a media this thread (rightfully) points how we're sleepwalking into a fascist nightmare. Like, gently caress, how are you supposed to report on him then?

That feels like a thing from Radio Free Albemuth where some people got a survey in the mail and they realized there was no way to answer the more or less True-False questions on it without being accused of being anti-American.
