Those are mostly bots or paid Russian actors

How do we know that? Absolutely some are but I have no idea what the ratio is

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They said mostly. I know a few Trump supporters. They'll all agree with each other that it was a sham trial, but it wont amount to anything. They peaked with January 6th and even that was pathetic compared to real revolutions from history.

So you agree.. that wasn't an act of revolution or insurrection?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It was a feeble attempt at an insurrection by a bunch of soft skin, small minded cucks who have daddy issues. None of those people have actually suffered a fraction what they think they have.

Russians took over the mod positions way back. That was enough to ensure the narrative is maintained.

I dunno it's reddit, really hard to tell which are real people over there

Who do you think was "on the fence" about Trump but now that he is a convicted felon is now definitely convinced Trump is their guy?... because this is the only way he gets more votes after the conviction

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't know. It might convince some elderly or very young idiots that their vote is more important than ever and increase turnout. But I have no idea. I'm just terrified of another term of trump. He would end the United States' chance of improving any time soon.

As opposed to.. lol Biden? You do realize we're at the verge of losing relations that benefit the U.S., right? With Biden and those like Biden running things, the Global South will be the new power house of the world.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

You're saying that the potential for the economic development of historically exploited colonies under Biden is a more grave risk than the potential end of democracy in America under Trump?

Trump did a lot to alienate allies too, way more than Biden has a far as I know. You really are clueless.
