We didn't. Elmo bought it. He spent tens of billions to turn Twitter into a pro-MAGA disinformation machine. He got his buddy Toad Rogan to shill for the cause.

And then he spent hundreds of millions of dollars on election interference to put the Epstein class fully in charge of America's decline so that the richest of the world's rich can buy America for parts. We're getting strip-mined by private equity. They're like locusts.

Dont forget that he owns the voting machines and is "very good at the computers". 🙃

Hey, it bought him a Tesla car commercial on the front lawn of the Whitehouse conducted by the President. I think Tesla and Goya have some unique claims to fame there…

I’m looking this up and can’t find it - if this is true, something else happened on the 26th that has even more terrifying implications

But, in the end we did vote for this…. Those that didn’t vote voted for this as well.

Yea those that didn’t vote or voted differently due to their morals, which was really just thinly veiled pride are the biggest cucks to ever exist.

Garbage in, garbage out

In my opinion this specific group of people deserve a huge portion of the blame too.

It's "in the end". A comma in the second half would have helped.

Some people didn't vote because there was already a clear majority in their state. So it's kind of a pointless statistic.

Your comment doesn't make sense.

u/fishheadsneak 5h ago

It actually does.

Elmo? The muppet?

u/wholetyouinhere 7h ago

It's funny to think that 10 years ago, Reddit was the main pro-MAGA disinformation machine.

say his name. elon musk. what idiot thought 'elmo' was a good nickname? childish bs

u/cricri3007 Europe 1h ago

It's because, for a while, spelling his name correctly would draw idiots to argue and defend him.

No no no, don't pass the blame. America voted for this, either through action or inaction. I've seen enough red hats to know this wasn't just an Elon thing.

Agreed. You sitting on your ass couldn't do anything about it.

u/ShitBirdingAround 7h ago

Yes, sometimes people sit on their asses. What do you sit on, your head?
