BREAKING: Election security experts have officially asked Biden to do an Election Recount on Trump's victory They are citing potential breaches in voting machines.

Dear Ma & Pa MAGA, So, you’re driving around in your F1-50-bucks-left-in-your-bank account, honking, shouting shit about “owning the Libs”, blaring country music and letting your THREE American flags on the back gate get ripped to shreds by wind and weather because you’ve…

Over the next four years, I highly suggest folks tighten their belts and spend as little as possible, except for the essentials like food, utilities, rent, etc. After riding the coattails of President Biden's AMAZING economy for his first six months in office, trump is going to…

16/ ..and for most of it, the Dems, and liberals, and the left, will need to spend more time listening to 18-25 year olds, and putting them in positions of power within the party, and less time listening to people over 50 in the consultant class.

15/ We could lean into that kind of content as well, which speaks to part of what those alternative spaces do so well: namely, make their participants feel like they're getting some kind of inside scoop. Bottom line, there is much work to do...

14/...the hidden history of how corporations became "people" with rights equal to or greater than actual human beings, etc. There are lots of stories that have been hidden from view, not by conspirators but simply bc that knowledge isn't functional for those in power...

13/ ...like the hidden history of the class system and the manipulation of the polity and economy by the elite; the hidden history of cross-racial solidarity, even in rural areas, which we never learn about, the hidden history of American imperialism abroad and its purposes...

12/ ...Bc they promise to those who don't understand how things work, "secret knowledge" that "they" don't want you to know. Cool, well, there are lots of things people don't know about which are real, but which could be presented in that same "forbidden knowledge" way...

11/ Even the conspiracism the right deploys as a gateway drug for lots of young men -- and it is a MUCH more male-centric world than female -- can be flipped on its head. Not w/our version of conspiracies, but something else. After all, why are conspiracy theories appealing?...

10/ Or feminism, or China, or whatever. Stop being a little whiny ass complainer. I'd rather see liberals and leftists go into that space with that kind of message than policy wonk, ideological, "here are the facts you need to know" nonsense...

9/ "That's pretty un-manly isn't it? How about taking some personal responsibility for yourselves?" So if you can't find a job stop blaming immigrants, or women, or whatever. Stop blaming people of color for everything that goes wrong, or liberals, or trans folks...

8/ But they will have to engage this content with more than simple "stop being racist or sexist" messages. It will require flipping the script on the central background noise of those venues, which is victimhood. As in, "why do you guys blame everyone else for your problems?"...

7/ And they are afraid to do this. They don't want to admit racism and sexism are the yeast that make the MAGA bread rise, but it always has been. Oh sure, there are other ingredients too. But without the yeast, it's not bread, just a flat-ass cracker. Pun very much intended...

6/ This means if Dems think they can get some of those voters back who listen to these things by just offering NPR/MSNBC type content, only in a hipper format, they're delusional. They will have to take on that content directly, which means admitting their centrality to MAGA...

5/ It's pretty much male victimhood, misogyny, casual racism, trans-bashing, and conspiracy theories about vaccines, globalism, etc. The manosphere targeted by MAGA is not discussing tax rates and Ag subsidies. They're bashing women, joking about rape, etc...

4/ And guess what? It was NOT deep discussions of inflation, or gas prices, or tariffs and trade policy. Ya know what those livestreamers and right wing YT folks and Rogan and the like do, all day every day?...

3/ Second, to the extent those alternative media outlets were implicated (and I agree they were), it's not like that is enough to explain the outcome. It still begs the question WHAT were folks hearing on those platforms? And this is the key, bc the content they heard matters...

For those who suggest the big problem for the Dems was information silos -- the fact that Trump targeted livestreamers/podcasters/YouTubers -- and that's where a lot of people, especially young people get info, that's true, but, there's something to consider. A 🧵...

EVERY SWING STATE VOTER SHOULD DEMAND A HAND RECOUNT. And do it now, please. There's too much hinky shit about this election, and that's the quickest, fairest way to legitimize the vote. Just fkn do it.

Congratulations- it appears an apartheid South African somehow gets to be president too. Fairly sure the orange turd will kick him to the curb if he becomes too mouthy. We, the North, are watching in horror and could be in the same spot in a year. Time to dig in and stand.
