@tify330 The way people donโt get that he just platformed right wing & nihilistic leftists in โFor youโ was enough
I was just hoping the TikToks & YouTube shorts mocking Trump as cringe and stupid had effect but apparently it was getting its audience in my kidโs age grp (9). Not helpful
@rabbittopia I absolutely, 100% agree with this.
I do have to add, the way to go viral in media is negativity and I think the right has an edge because they gas people up and scapegoat, while leftist influencer culture has an approach thatโs not quite opposite, but creates a niche circle

Moana movie coming out
Welcome back, 2016.
Seriously, that live action Moana needs to come out on an odd year.
@zorabet_@toomanyfeelings California, Washington, Oregon are universal mail voting states too (you donโt have to vote by mail in California) that take mail postmarked by Election Day until tomorrow. Also a lot of Dem voters. Thatโs the number.
So I did deactivate but I realize many might not know Iโm there. For those I do interact with and are there, Iโm amanda_christina_s (same for instagram) too.
@MuseZack@ArmandDoma I voted for Gascon but Iโm not surprised by the result. Iโm progressive, but the way people were gaslit or told to ignore their experiences with crime (which even though it may be down, the antisocial behavior is up which your average person experiences) wasnt a strategy.
@Freeyourmindkid Also, social media is breaking their brains in ways we canโt fathom. The high level readers are beyond others, and testing is a mess because kids just โclick throughโ like TikTok whether theyโre done or not.
@Freeyourmindkid I work at a school library; itโs not good. The kids at my school (LA) dislike Trump, but Iโm constantly telling people gamer YouTube (so popular) is a gateway to that. I monitor my kidโs YouTube and reward honesty so he comes to me with what he hears, opening that.
@Freeyourmindkid I am. Itโs been great getting to know you. So few are principled but pragmatic and show awareness beyond their bubble, and itโs been great seeing people like that. Too few in the current climate.
