I love self harm so I went to the site to check what they think of Trump v DeSantis.

Note: Do not go to the site. It is (obviously) a fascist, racist, sexist, and transphobic shithole.

While there are some Trump supporters, the vast majority seem to support DeSantis and say he appears strong and Trump weak. None are saying they’ll back him over Trump (obviously) but it’s clear that even the most hardened Trump supporters are fans of DeSantis.

Trump might end up losing, folks.

    I think the internet can do literally everything the tv could do. And it can do it better.

      you're correct, but there's a lopsided concentration of capital and political authority vested in very elderly people who have very little inclination in keeping up with twitter memes and would instead rather listen to Hannity and Tucker Carlson

      Carlson regularly has an audience of 4.5 million+ tune into every show he does. Just for comparison, the most watched Twitch stream of all time peaked at 3.3 million. I remember reading a stat once (don't remember where) that if you regularly have just 20 viewers in a stream you're doing, you're in the top 1%. TV still has a very concentrated rapt audience, whereas the internet has far less focus.

        I think moistcritical said something like that. I'd buy it, given how most people just watch a handful of streamers but there are literally millions of them.

        And here I was thinking that COVID-19 killed most of the elderly Republicans
