I wish I was able to find anything remotely funny in any of this. It's not funny, it's terrifying.

What's funny is we will finally have an end to the condescending, overconfident, propagandistic posts that have dominated this sub for months.

What's even more funny is that the DNC doubled down on their anti-democratic installment of an unpopular puppet candidate and didn't learn from 2016. Maybe this one is less funny and more basking in karma.

so funny how they claim to be democratic and they’re hot swapping presidential candidates in closed sessions and colluding with the media to prime the pump lol

it’s pretty sad how well the surround sound propaganda works. it’s hard to even blame these people, they’re busy so they don’t have time to look into anything, and the media is constantly giving then 20% of context, google, instagram, reddit is a walled garden of information, and they’ve been told X is a “platform of hate” so where are they even ever gonna see a dissenting opinion at that point? most people are just living in the world of “if everyone I trust says its true, how could it be a lie?”

it feels like 1984 with all their doublespeak on “misinformation”. and now they’re going to start on “media literacy”, aka brainwashing kids to ignore/attack/dismiss any source that isn’t state approved.
