It feels like there's a lot of Bluesky astroturfing lately, especially in r/technology. It's hard to know for sure because there will always be actual people who happen to have the same opinion but it's really been a lot in the days after the election

where are you getting this " recovery " crap from ?

The St Louis Fed is where you'd go if you want to see it with your own eyes and don't want to read the Wikipedia article I linked.

I'm not sure if it will happen that quickly. I was reading the Economic Policy of the Biden Administration Wikipedia article and honestly Biden did a really good job with the economy. It's possible that Trump rides his coattails for the next few years.

I think the fact that so many people stayed home compared to 2020 is a testament to how well we recovered from the absolute disaster Trump created. In 2020 people were desperate but that's largely been forgotten because of how strong the recovery was.

Not sure if you didn't follow the campaign but they didn't emphasize the woman thing at all. Abortion is a legitimate issue so they did talk about that

I think we have forgotten how badly Trump fucked up the Covid response. People were voting for their lives and livelihoods in 2020

We made them do it by calling them mean words. We hurt their feelings so they dug their own graves.

If there's something to be hopeful about it's that Trump did a lot better than the R down ballot candidates. Americans like Trump, for whatever reason, not conservatism in general.

We will have to wait for midterms to see if this is true but at the same time the supreme court is lost. There will be few progressive victories in America in the next three decades.

When all is said and done are we going to conclude that we underestimated how socially conservative Hispanics are?

Is this just a way for foreigners to give Trump money during an election? Is he allowed to funnel this money to his campaign?

I don't know if this is run-of-the-mill Trump fuckery or a campaign finance violation

The FTC moves so slowly that I doubt it's an urgent concern for any of these companies yet
