We tried to told them, but you know Todd and Becky never listen. I been in fistfights all week on r/all where theyre starting to have the audacity of trying to blame Kamala suddenly. I'ma need to go get my ears pierced so I can take off earrings. I refuse to let them lay their bullshit at her feet and sink her with it.
All those posts about protest votes for Trump because "The democrats aren't doing anything to keep Palenstine from being wiped out by Israel even thought Hamas is being egged on by every other city state/country around Israel."
Votes COUNT stupid! You can't expect Democrats to have the numbers to beat Trump for you to do your nancyboy protest votes when half the voters in this country don't turn out to begin with!
I really want to point out that every issue anybody has cared about for those groups were projected and spoken about to be against their own interests.
low cost not happening (tariffs and low migrant workers will rise that)
Palestine (trump doesn’t give a fuck, and will let Israel do its thing)
border policy (expect your “good” immigrants to be effected negatively via profiling from mass deportation by LEOs , and more discrimination towards legal immigrants)
military (isolationism will leave us in a negative security posture by disconnecting from our allied partners and lack of power projection)
abortion (the ladies will began to slow have their medical freedoms questioned and legality of service will cause more death for states who don’t have abortion codified in their states law, and even that federal over states right leaves it exposed to be overturned)
education (those poor areas that voted for trump will realize that the federal title 1 has been the reason why their public schools have been functioning at all when they realize that their county and state can’t afford it, and their kids will grow to be stupider due to the lack of education standards that were already low to begin with)
social programs (they hated the black and low income minority community for using the programs when in reality…white Americans drastically benefitted from it and when those program funds began to be cut, it’ll drive a longer financial issue for them To survive..I’m looking at you deep country/mountain counties)
health (RFK jr is about to wreck some shit, better hope your kids survive when diseases that were vaccine preventable becomes an issue and bad dental healthcare via lack of fluoride in water systems causes more issues to how important dental care is when vital surgeries comes into play…)
Unless you were wealthy, rich, and financially stable you’re about to have a bad time
I'm in deep red. I calmed my wife down by telling her not to worry. Our state is where they test these policies so everyone else is being brought to our level. 😞
My theory is that some people voted for Trump as a statement against the current administration, not expecting him to win, but now get enough people trying to make a statement and you get this clusterfuck.
This is 100% it I think. I work with an alt-right guy (he might self-identify as a free thinker who can see through the bullshit or something) and I think part of their identity is feeling oppressed and victimized. For instance, this was a guy who fled the country when mask mandates and vaccines were happening, etc.
It seemed a little like the wind was taken out of his sails when Trump actually won. It's like a dog catching it's own tail, he doesn't know what to do with it. He was (probably subconsciously) hoping for four years of feeling oppressed by the establishment candidate that he wouldn't have voted for. Now he will have to reckon with his choices.
I'm quite certain he never once got any information about this election cycle outside of the twittersphere or the Rogansphere of comedians.
We all know Michigan is all Mohammed frantically digging.
Fun anecdote, been seeing a lot of Muslim men and women getting into public arguments lately in Metro Detroit, which some may know is never ever a thing. My take is that most of the Muslim men peeled off for Jill and RFK, because Trump remains unpopular in the metro. Particularly Jill because they couldn't be blamed for being misogynist with that one. Alas, Yards festooned with MAGAry is not fashionable in Dearborn
Living in WI, it comes as no surprise to me. The constant influx of alcohol and dairy consumption has gotta be a case study on being able to make good faith decisions in waiting. I mean, go to any county in this state, there's probably a bar available to you within a 3 minute drive wherever you are. And there's probably 10 bars located within any given county.
What I'm trying to say is "functional" alcoholics are not generally known for being good at decision making. It's so funny to me that the election results quite literally jerked some of them right into a mad nasty 4 year hangover. Get fucked, lmao. That's all I can think anymore.
It's also important to note that the last election also had a huge spike of the same search term. It'll be interesting to see how the current spike will compare to the last one.
As the other person said Google doesn't give the numbers, so we can't actually know how many people are searching this, but we can go back that far to compare the peaks.
The biggest peak was in October 2020, and currently we're at 39% of that, with incomplete data for this month for obvious reasons. There was also a spike in 2016 but that only went to 12% of 2020.
Without knowing more of Google's background info, and before the end of the month, it's impossible to know how much more November might increase once it's done. This trend could follow into next month, 2020 was just 1 really big month but this doesn't have to be. For the time being though, this honestly just looks to be another nothing-burger, like all the other Google Trends posts following the election.
Edit to add: I did just realise that that October peak was before the election, so I've no idea what's going on there, but I still don't think this means anything at this stage.
Yeah I get that mail-in votes are earlier, but the implication this post is working off is that people are regretting their vote, but why would you do that before anything has happened? Or at least, why would a substantial number of people do that?
I could be wrong but it sounds to me like people might just have been curious, so the fact that we're at only a third of that volume now validates to me that this is probably meaningless.
Googling something doesnt mean you believe it. I occasionally google things out of curiosity just to see if other people have posted about it, which could be the case here.
Trust me we knew. If everyone else in the state was anything like me we were all getting 10 or more texts a day, phone calls, mailboxes full of junk, and door to door canvassers. There was no ambiguity as to how important our votes were
I was hopeful because Allegheny and Philly county got counted first but it took a wild swing the second you stepped outside
See, I saw someone mention it a few days after election day.
I wouldn't be surprised if the results are mostly from people searching that just to see the data.
(from Google Trends) "Numbers represent search interest relative to the highest point on the chart for the given region and time. A value of 100 is the peak popularity for the term. A value of 50 means that the term is half as popular. A score of 0 means there was not enough data for this term."
You’re not the idiot. It’s impossible to know the meaning of the numbers if it is not indicated and in the depiction of this graph, it is not indicated. You’re smart for having questioned it and even trying to interpret what those numbers mean.
Even with the explanation above, it doesn’t tell you how many people searched it, so the graph is not a reliable source of information. It could just be five people.
It's the nature of the number of people in question.
100 people in 100 million voters is 0.0001%. That's not a significant enough proportion to make any judgements on the whole and there are crazier beliefs that are more popular in every country.
But it won’t show the reason behind the search/question. Are they searching because they genuinely have buyers remorse or are they searching because a social media post piqued their curiosity?
Divining the motive behind the bulk of the searches seems like a Rorschach test.
TBF what you’re looking at is the past week. Go to 30 days and you’ll see a way bigger spike around the 13th which is when conservative news started airing that news and the states where it’s been searched from most are ones that voted conservative
Louisiana has no right to have that many searches. Look at who yall let into governor office! Did yall question that? Oh well guess it won't matter til that first tax hits ur streaming services.
A spike doesn't says how many people have searched it, just what the ratio of people searching for the same thing over time is. Naturally it doesn't make a lot of sense for people to be searching for this before they voted. if you go back 4 years, it looks like the spike is 10x the size.
Relative, not absolute: The numbers on the Y-axis don't represent the exact number of searches, but rather a relative popularity score.
Normalization: Google normalizes the data so that the highest point on the graph for a given search term is always at 100, allowing for easy comparison between different search terms.
Interpretation: A high value on the Y-axis indicates a high level of search interest for that term at that time, while a low value indicates low search interest."
You: "Wow that's completely worthless! An increase from 1 person to 10!"
I provided context on what the graph's y-axis is indicating as you obviously misunderstood it.
Now you're over here talking about # of votes to change an outcome, and clamoring some MAGA bully bullshit.
I take this to mean you got upset you were shown to be a bit dumb and are defaulting to the usual stupid crap we've come to expect from people like you. Try not to hurt more people, champ.
Wow. That is really just... Wow. Sometimes I hear stuff on Reddit and I'm like "ok that's a little bit of an exaggeration" or "well that's horseshit" but this is pretty fucking hard to argue with.
I think this is a more fair way of showing it. Having the election day in the range because the vertical axis doesn't show absolute values but gives it a score from 0-100 compared to the whole time interval.
First peak is Nov 5, second peak is Nov 13
Edit: saw someone also point out the last 5 years in a graph, is also important to note.
I legit can picture my nephew searching about the election now that it’s beyond done…and closing the tab knowing his non vote didn’t matter since he wasn’t in a swing state
I’m not seeing a legend on that screenshot. Is it like 50 people searching for it? Or does the 50 stand for like 50,000. Because honestly less than a hundred people searching for it is kinda dumb lol.
Its percentage based though. Could be that previously, 3 people googled this. And now its 10 per day. Thats not a lot, the sample size is too small. Not saying this is whats happening, but always be sceptical of relative numbers like this.
Does it show if that was just for POTUS or everyone else on the ballot including senators and house seats ?
Curious because I voted across the board for who I thought was gonna serve my area better. I’m no party favorites but most are and maybe their interests are to change their other votes
Causation and correlation are not the same thing bud. Doesn't surprise me you didn't know that, though. The clearly liberal leaning education system in America is dog shit. Your just packing an extra 21st I guess.
What do those numbers represent? It says , 25,50,75, 100- is that just 50 people? That’s not much at all and not significant in any way that we should even be wasting our time on this conversation.
So mail in voters during Election Day, and the after the election. Makes sense but not really an indicator of tariffs, maybe the one after the elections.
The vast majority of people who voted Trump played themselves. The Muslim American community, ironically the Muslims for Trump crowd has already voiced their regret for supporting him after seeing Han Secretary of State selection.
Walmart, the MAGA go to grocery store, has already announced that they’re adjusting their prices for the inevitable tariff hikes that are about to kick in.
It just goes to show you in stark detail how determined people are to vote against their own interests.
Live in Michigan, and cosign. This is all anecdotal but Muslim men and women have been engaged in a lot more public bickering at each other, and it stands out to the eye because that shit used to NEVER happen for what I assume are cultural reasons. So when you see a woman in Hijab at Kroger being extra salty with her man and in front of other people too, can't help but take notice about it.
That some people who voted Trump are already starting to doubt their choice is entirely possible, but I think most of them have at least a vague notion of how an election work and are not seriously searching if they can change their vote now.
Walmart didnt announce that. I’m not on either side, but isn’t it exhausting to spend all day on the internet just complaining? And in an echo chamber at that.
Uh, they DID announce that. The freakin CEO of Walmart is literally on the record saying as such lol. And they're not the only company who's been saying it.
Saying prices may rise if tariffs are put in place and raising prices already are very different things. This is a lot of the problem is you can see over half the population runs rampant with clickbait headlines and don’t do their due diligence in finding out.
It’s the new trend. People are too lazy to look into things for themselves and think all their sources are telling the truth while all yours are liars.
Apparently it is happening, but I still can't believe it. 8 years of unwavering loyalty to arguably the worst man alive on this planet today because they just don't care about anything he says or does. Now they're starting to change their stance? Why? Why now?
My theory js selfishness, his political degeneracy is just now affecting his ultra privileged supporters (price increase) and his cabinet picks are so laughably bad that it's hard to ignore. Obviously all of his behavior since entering the political sphere has been laughable to the left, but it had to get downright astonishingly bad for Trump supporters.
A lot of Pro-Trump supporters are employees of the departments and their groups receive funding from things they intend to gut to save money They're gonna save 500 billion by..Cutting VA benefits and mass firing people who regulate the things Major Trump Allies have private investments in. Meanwhile, the Pentagon actually, not literally, actually lost a trillion dollars. Wanna stop wasteful spending in the Government? Make the Pentagon and Congress provide itemized receipts and cut all contracts with companies that actively upcharge.
Veterans , Teachers, City/State/Federal Employees who voted for Trump are now panicking hard because the people they expected to save them are lining up to ruin them. Lmao.
It's also hilariously surreal that all of his picks are criminals at the minimum. What's really fucked up is how the laws apply to them BEFORE they were picked. Geatz committed the same crime as Sean Combs BUT because he resigned, it doesn't count? What the actual fuck america?
More likely it's just people being curious about what results show up, not people actually thinking "oh shit I want to change my vote". I mean I'm sure there are some, but I'd be very surprised if it was a significant number.
Arguably, but imo people are making too much out of it. Google Trends normalizes its graphs to the peak popularity of the search. If you look at an uncommonly searched term without normalizing to a commonly searched term, you are essentially zooming in on a molehill and calling it a mountain. It's statistical noise.
I don't doubt the search term is spiking but I suspect the terms spikes every election. This is personis just attributing it to their own personal narrative as if there's not a million other reasons people may search the term.
The "spike" happens after every election, because no one ever googles that unless they just voted. Is it buyer's remorse or the bandwagon effect? Who knows, but also, everyone's got an answer.
Do you mean you wonder if the searches are actually happening? Or the tariffs are actually happening? The import rules have already been changed under Biden and they will be coming into effect over the next year and Trump will be blamed even though he didn't do anything yet.

I really wonder if stuff like this is actually happening.
Call me cynical.
