So did CNN play the cohen tape yet?

whats on it?

Watched Tim’s video about more Trump support being offline. Here’s my take. The meme war win for Trump was a real thing, but it wasn’t about getting votes, as much as it was about breaking the moral of the left, and making sure they stayed home. We made damn sure that everyone felt awful about Hillary. Every time Hillary supporters tried to rally online, we humiliated them. Crushed their spirits.

The reason Slate is covering this angle is just a simple attack on Fox. It is a break from the muh Russia stuff, but it’s hard to organize an adviser boycott against fox if people think they’re irrelevant. Which isn’t the case with older voters. So expect occasional articles like this .

@Deleted User Good take

There's also another option:

Ah wait, I hadn't realized a new vid ws out.

Sorry for posting redundant information.

That’s the Brown study Tim was talking about @pratel

Yeah, I just noted a new vid was out after I posted that.

Sorry for being dumb.

It’s all good. Check the video out. The study is interesting.

But my theory fits into that research.
Trump didn’t win because he got a record number of people to vote for him. He had a normal amount.

Trump won because of who DID NOT vote. That was Democrats.

Yeah, I ran into it a couple days ago. Reddit was trying to suppress it.

Bookmarked it immediately.

Reddit seems like it does that kind of thing a lot.

It's the whole modulus operandi of Reddit at this point.

Brigades are so common now it's painful.

ShareBlue has extended it's reach everywhere.

I think a lot of people might have abstained from voting, or threw away their vote to third parties. As much as they stayed home

The thread I found it on had maybe one comment that wasn't just mindlessly attacking Trump. Most weren't even relevant.

3rd party votes weren't that much higher than normal though, atleast in swing states.

That too @Grenade123

Third parties did well. I bet a lot of those people who voted third party were also internet people

I know that's what I did. I had a feeling trump might win, and hoped he would basically do what he was doing. But I just don't really like him as a person. Never really have.

Although he is growing on me

^ same. Though I'm less happy with Trump than when he was elected. I'm more terrified of the left.

Trump's too incompetent to do anything too damaging. But the Democrats...

Growing on a lot of people if those recent polls are accurate.

Californian bills banning "fake news"

Maybe. I think it's more likely the moderate Republicans are falling in line, which isn't really enough to win.

And it won't help the Republicans much int he midterms.

I saw that fake news bill @pratel . It hasn’t passed though. Right?

Not to my knowledge.

What has trump done that makes you like him less? Outside of these risky trade wars

Terrified me it was even on the table though. I've seen what the left has done at the Universities.

When Tim was talking about how you can tell which candidate would win just by looking at them it reminded me of this video. A lot of people voted for Hillary just because she was a woman but when the genders were swapped it was very easy to see why she was a terrible candidate. https://youtu.be/2qzNpUvpkDU

Trade wars, inability to shut up. Not fond of how the debt went (though that's not necessarily his fault).

On an issue-by-issue basis there's very little I'm actually upset at.

The only thing that Trump has done that pissed me off was bombing Syria.

There's not much to be pleased by either.

Eh? I guess.
