i fucking called it.

turns out the answer to my question is “less than a week”
Reminds me of Brexit
Come on, Russian money wasn’t involved in …
Oh
OHH
When you realize memes shouldn’t have influence on your voting decision…
To own the libs, they sold their soul.
You broke it, you bought it.
Yeah except we’re all going to pay.
America even does socialism the worst
Unfortunately, I’m also being forced to buy it, even though I didn’t break it.
I tried to buy the other one because I didn’t want the broken one. Still stuck buying the broken one.
I’m willing to give a redo in this case
Is this the “Find out” stage then?
Actions have consequences. Sad people had to figure it out this way.
Sad others among us will have to pay more than those that caused the problem. But such is America and so is history.
This is all bullshit, designed to start another wave of outrage. Even after the election, we’ve gotta have more stuff to rage about. News these days is just rage all day every day, no matter what.
I’ve said it the whole election cycle. The news downplayed every Trump gaffe because they wanted him back to fuel the outrage click machine. They wanted that sweet revenue back after 4 boring years of Biden just ya know doing his fucking job.
I had to have new anxiety meds called in because all of the political stuff is sending me into panic attacks. I’ve been avoiding politics as much as possible since the day after the election because it causes so much anxiety.
Why are you here then
This post caught my attention and decided to look at it despite my anxiety
The relative numbers are worth little without knowing the underlying numbers. If it went from 100 to 700 people, that is still negligble. Also crazy how people immediately take that as a base to remove voters rights unless they pass some sort of test. Nothing could go wrong with stripping voters rights amirite?
For all future elections I suggest we have one voter - me. I promise to deliver the optimally democratic outcome.
Ah, the Vetinari principle. One man, one vote.
Vetinari is that man, and he has that vote.
Yup, and I promise quality boots for all.
For wearing or for licking?
This is what we now have, we just decided the one vote goes to donald fucking trump.
Well, that’s because the one voter wasn’t me.
See how much better my system would be?
This but unironically
Bloody hell, this is the US version of Brexit… this world would be such a better place if people just did the bare minimum of reading into what they were actually voting for before they fucking voted!
Also, seeing the other top searches being about the tariffs would have me creasing if it weren’t so disappointingly stupid that these peoole seemingly knew nothing about Trumps most advertised economic policy before (assumably) voting for him
Whenever I see all the trash on the side of the road, I know why the world is that way.
No, the US version of Brexit was Trump’s first term, since they both happened in the same year.
This is just people saying they know exactly how bad Brexit went the first time and they want that again.
I think that most of them do a lot of reading. The problem is that they just read news and info that they like and have no ability to criticise arguments. Critic thinking is the main problem imho.
Americans don’t read. They just want vibes.
This will be so much fucking worse than Brexit
Once again, these are the a validation headlines that create and support echo chambers. Honestly, what does it matter now?
We already know the regret is strong on this nation and will only get worse.
“Somebody shit in my pants.”
“I don’t know who it was but they must really like corn.”
Corn? When did I eat corn?
I had those tamales 3 weeks ago…
I love it. America’s last hope and people failed. Fuck this place. Let the civil war begin.
The republican anti-education campaign bears fruit I see.
God I fucking hate humans
Are we all just assuming these searches are from people who regret their votes and hoped to be able to change it?
I double checked my ballot before submitting it, with full knowledge that irrevocability is the price of anonymity. Nevertheless, I might use similar search terms if I was curious how many other voters, possibly in other states or with different political alignments, had written about regretting their votes. Or, perhaps, … if I was doing research for a post-election article about the topic.
That’s a great point. The Trump team tried to get all voter information from all states in 2020. Ostensibly to verify voter fraud. But this data was probably used to create such voter suppression systems as Eagle AI.
So they know who you voted for.
Post election searches are the best:
“What is the EU?”
“What is Brexit?”
Of course, let’s not let things like knowledge or consequences get in the way of reactionary & spiteful arrogance informed only by propaganda induced fear and hate, emotions know to prevent rational thought /s
“what is love?” (baby don’t hurt me)
