In 2016 we had RU active measures assisting TFG. We had stupid James Comey. Hillary came with baggage. TFG won.
In 2020 he snuck up on no one, he lost.
In 2024 he is now up against an energetic and energizing candidate whose media game is A+.
Who is worried?
@Museek @SECRET_ASIAN_MAN Worried the RU shenanigans will be difficult to prove for 2016 and 2024 IF the votes are close.
@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN
I am. An immigrant of eastern European birth, a political science PhD, a public school teacher in the Midwest. I am worried. I have seen authoritarianism and I have seen the American electorate. I am very fucking worried.
@publickovacs @SECRET_ASIAN_MAN I can completely understand. It must feel like a bad political system is following you around.
@publickovacs I was sympathizing. Don't understand why touche? @SECRET_ASIAN_MAN
@poemblaze
I am sorry - it makes sense to me after a long number of years of experiencing that shit doesn't just happen but rather it comes to me. I have been saying I am The Universal Shit Magnet. I realize now that you did not know that and had no context. Sorry about that.
@publickovacs I wasn't upset, just confused. ✌️ @SECRET_ASIAN_MAN
@publickovacs I'll be a student. How has trump expanded his voters in the last four years?
@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN
There are ppl who were Trump-curious whose response to their own grievance and to the constant baiting from MAGA has led them to be Trump voters over the last few years. Emboldened bigotry plus permission structure equals fascist voters.
@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN Me. I'm not worried who people would vote for. I'm worried the voting won't matter.
@AskTheDevil great point.
@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN But, as Eddie Albert used to say on Green Acres, if that happens, we'll fix it.
We'll deal with it, whatever happens.
@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN if not for the electoral college, I’d say she’s got it but I’m still worried.
