Comments have been bad for a while. I've left three Facebook groups since the election because of hard right unrelated posts and comments. I'm pretty sure it's due to bots but interesting technical groups became cesspools in less than 24 hours. It reminded me of the end of Usenet.

I don't know about YouTube but my Facebook feed took a hard right turn late that night.

What were they expecting? He showed everyone who he was and they still voted for him.

I agree. Although I'm never really sure in these situations.

I never tweeted myself but I liked to follow a couple of local news outlets and out local government agencies for public notices and emergencies. I gave up when stuff from Elon and a bunch of right wing stuff populated my feed. I rarely saw anything of interest. I started using Facebook for that. At least the local stuff pops up in addition to the crazy stuff.

I've been seeing this kind of stuff for the last month. Of course most of my friends and family think Donald Trump is the annoited one.

It doesn't matter. He won't be willing to extend any programs from the Biden administration just because.

I'm guessing it's somewhere along the lines of "give Putin what he wants and be grateful". It also wouldn't surprise me if Zelensky isn't exiled or missing sometime next year. I hate it but I've lost all faith.

Definitely an interesting thought experiment. It will be interesting to see if the tariffs actually happen how they will impact the economy. I work in telecommunications and most of the equipment we use is manufactured in China, regardless of the supplier. Any tariffs will impact about 70% or the material we use for projects.

I look for Trump to turn on everyone. It's the only thing he's consistently done his entire life.

I noticed my Facebook feed took a hard right turn this morning. We're so f**ked.

It's pretty disappointing.
