Idk that’s some serious certainty
This is pretty bleak, though I somewhat agree…
At least when an uninformed populace is turbo raped by AI-charged social media, I’m not very optimistic.
Yeah, you have to run The Rock and he could have been threatening to rock bottom trump or maybe he breaks some dopey trump teenagers nose during the primary etc
maybe he goes around throwing wads of money into the crowds instead of taking out political ads. maybe he says he will pardon young durk so he can kill all his ops because they deserve it.
need something people can bite their teeth into.
You are literally describing the plot of Idiocracy.

Mexico is an obvious counter example, rose to power in ‘18, reelected with much bigger margins in ‘24.
It is crazy how much money just evaporated in this election with nothing to show for it.

This is the real threat posed by insane levels of wealth inequality. Wealthy people can afford to light this money on fire year after year to get what they want. It’s like playing NLHE against an infinite bankroll. Given enough time they are going to win. It’s even worse in politics because the rich people can afford to pay both parties, so they don’t get screwed over even when their preferred horse loses.

Yeah but my social media has a post about how a Thanksgiving turkey costs $139.99 and I’m mad as hell.

“We finally got a real president”
One of the first things I heard at work. Luckily not directed towards me. But still. Fuck.

It doesn’t even make sense. He was president four years ago! It’s the smallest possible nonzero interval you could have to wait between “real presidents”!

I’m an idiot when it comes to this stuff, but this chart doesn’t include people who are making money from capital gains or other sources of income, right?
It didn’t evaporate; it went from some people’s pockets into other people’s pockets.
You may think ya’ll have been vaccinated against this up north, but I’ve got some bad news for you. Vaccines are now off the table, and you’re next (unfortunately).

Good point, it went into people pockets who will only be further incentivized to perpetuate expensive political contests.

And when you achieve enlightenment, it will sound like your notional political allies exploding out of the woodwork to fact-check this chart.
Ok but do you see where it says real wages or no
Yeah, we’re full steam ahead for full frontal fascism. Things are dark up here in the north.
