Not OP. I get what your asking for, but this isn’t supposed to be a news community. The whole point of this community is schadenfreude on the concept that people have completely voted against their own interests. Essentially, it highlights people get blindsided when the party they voted for enacts policy or actions that harm them…especially when they were told this exact thing would happen.

There used to be absolutely tons of Brexit items up here as well (at least on the reddit side). We’re about to see 4 more years of it.

It would be like if you went to an unboxing community and got frustrated at the fact that no one then did anything with the items after they were unboxed - they absolutely will…it’s just not the point of that community.

Is it some strange requirement that we’re not allowed to show something a bit…more? Are the rules of this community that it has to be out of context screenshots and social media clips?

No one said it wasn’t allowed. It absolutely would be, feel free to find one and post!

Besides, how can you possibly claim to be showing “large scale shifts” with posts like this?

Who is claiming “large scale shifts”? These are anecdotes that fit, nothing more.

I honestly don’t understand why you’re surprised. I’m not being contrarian, I don’t understand why you’d think this would be some meta analysis community. Its a specific community with a simple topic.

At the risk of being controversial, you MAY need to follow more communities than LAMF to get the big picture of trends in American political perceptions.

You may also get upvotes for sharing here if you find something concrete though.
