A lot of effort has gone into identifying the different ideological bubbles and catering an image of Trump specifically tailored for them, in the way only money can. We will likely never know to what extent given how fast transparency has been disappearing. permalink fedilink source parent [–] GeneralEmergency@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago Don't forget those that sat on their hands and did nothing. Inactivity is an action. permalink fedilink source parent [–] quantumantics@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago Just over half of those who voted said yes, there's still a lot of us who voted against this and watched in horror as the remainder proceeded to fuck us over. From those of us who voted against this: we tried our best and hate this as much as the rest of the sane world. Good luck trying to salvage things out there, it's going to be increasingly difficult for us to act openly against this soon. If you can, put the thumbscrews to us in whatever way you can. We'll suffer, but then again we're already going to be. permalink fedilink source parent
