I'm highly doubtful that any of this can actually be proven. I don't doubt it for one minute, but I really doubt there's any way to actually prove this. Unless some 'smoking gun' documents or other surveillance can be produced (good luck).

You can't explain your work. Why the fuck should they?

It's really not all that difficult to understand. Trump inflamed their prejudices and sense of entitlement and used that to get their votes. Politicians have been doing this forever. Are you poor? Well, it's because the brown people are taking all the jobs. Are your groceries costing too much? Well, it's because of all those poor people sponging off the government - that's driving up all the costs. Oh, and by the way, god wants you to hate all those LGBTQ+ people, too.

When it comes to Trump, it's important to remember that there is no sleazy tactic he won't try. He lives and thrives on lies.

It had the effect it was intended to have.

Sure, you have a right to Free Speech - you can say whatever you like. I also have the right to not do business with you, to not hire you, to remember your face and call you out on the street and let eeeeeeveryone in my neighborhood know who you are and what you do, and to not allow you to use my online services.

The exact same scenario played out with Steve Bannon, and Trump fired him. I'm don't see Elon faring much better.

This isn't really all that hard to understand. Just follow the money. That's all you have to do.

 

Can someone help me understand this? If hundreds of thousands of people use a popular browser extension, how does that make it easier for you to be singled out among them? I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around this, can anyone help?

If the People put him there, the People can remove him. It's just a question of will.

I was with you until you recommended using Brave. I'll get my privacy advice elsewhere, thank you.
