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.
The memes have zero influence on old people. Old people get inundated with spam emails and news suggestions that are nominally curated to spiral them into lala-land. It's the same phenomenon as letting youtube play and eventually you get right-wing suggestions. Its that, but the suggestions are made to old people in a different manner that is uniquely accessible to them.
Hillary Clinton was also a terrible candidate.
I'm also convinced that things like google and Facebook cater themselves specifically to certain interests and are pretty good at figuring out who the user is from very little input. A few years ago I was trying to tell my parents about a tragic earthquake that just happened in southern Mexico, but all their search results were showing cruise line dates or ways to buy timeshares. I had to scroll to the 4th page of results to see any earthquake news. Whereas for me the results were the first line. My parents barely even use the internet.
Everyone's slowly drifting into little hedonistic pleasure domes designed specifically to confuse you and extract money
This is absolutely how it works.
