I mean we saw this in the first term where people were doing “oh he would have won if not for COVID” - COVID was good for incumbents everywhere else! The issue wasn’t COVID, it was the admin response to COVID, which was the entirely natural result of how Trump operates

Yup, absolutely. I think it’s wrong to treat the Iran War as simply one bad error that happened to the Trump Admin rather than the entirely logical consequence of the way it operates. If it wasn’t Iran, it would almost certainly have been something else

But maybe he doesn't do this. Maybe its just a cosmic coincidence that these sort of wrecker posts constantly filter to the top there, driven by organic demand for this message that just happened to start around late 2022. Maybe Elon has too much integrity to put his finger on the scale.

I don't know what the X algorithm looks like on the inside but I do know if I were Elon Musk this is exactly the kind of sentiment I'd filter for (trivially easy to do even before AI) and show to left-wing users of the site (again trivially easy to ID even before AI)

its worth asking why posts like this — a purported leftist warning others not to trust elected left-wing politicians — consistently do so well on the site where racist Trump ally Elon Musk controls the algorithm that chooses what posts people see

Btw if you read this and immediately thought “well not all men”… pause for a second. The men I trust are the ones who read what I just wrote and choose to listen, to empathize, to ask questions to better understand. They know they are not the men I am angry about and they don’t need say so.

Stop telling women what to do. Stop telling us to do all of the work. Stop acting like you know more about our struggle than we do. Stand up for your fellow human being without any reward because that’s what we’re supposed to do. Ffs.

A man replied to this saying in earnest that women need to get organized and fight for our rights and men will follow. We did that. We do that. We mobilized the largest single day protest in global history on every continent and yet I have fewer rights than my mom did at my age.

Absolutely. If any Dem Member of Congress concocted a conspiracy theory based upon the assumption that going to a Hawkeyes basketball game necessarily meant going to Atlanta, it would be a week of TV spots and three months of op-ed columns about Dems' cultural disconnect.

Funniest part to me is Jack Smith using 110% of his lawyer brain. He avoids making the connection himself; he doesn't even say "Hawkeyes," he just says "Iowa." He knows it's better to let everyone figure it out on their own. He also knows from Klobuchar's grin that she'll dunk it for him.

Aaron is not underrating this. It's cinema. The sly smirk when Schmitt thinks he's gotten Smith to perjure himself. The hasty vanishing of the sign. Klobuchar getting Kennedy to hold it up. Schmitt getting LOUD and ANGRY when Klobuchar points out he mixed up the Hawks and Hawkeyes.
