Reddit is a media company now, they're not a community. Tons and tons of ads, thin skinned moderators with God complexes running completely out of control, and they now have platform profit responsibility.

Will cost them - this is a significant change to, by definition, some of their most popular content. Many people go to Reddit purely to find non-paywalled versions of content.

Trained eye liner wearing monkey follows orders with absurd publicity stunts, showing exactly what sort of performative clown show you'd get if they're elected, instead of actual policies and governance.

Well - why would he be? Trump didn't accept it last time, and this is well and truly the end of the road for him if he doesn't win. He's 77 as it is, but zero point zero zero zero zero percent chance he gets this close again.

And the cost of not winning is monumental. It's victory or destruction for the vulgar talking yam. If he's no longer of any use to Russia, imagine what information might come out about him, especially if they themselves descend into instability.

Trump never accepts any defeat, ever. It's always a disgrace, the worst, most nasty this and that that's so unfair to him. Of course he's not going to accept a defeat. What the adults do about it is the important variable.

Given his legal trouble, he very truly could either be president or imprisoned. he probably has less money than he wants us to believe, fleeing to Russia or Venezuela etc isn't really an option. His money will just be seized by the state and he will be disposed of as an impotent, toothless old hippo, only capable of making noise, with no more use to offer anyone.

Like battery acid/Plasticine and cheap cookware. Kind of like the used pots aisle of a Goodwill

Kind of torn to be honest. I find AOC's tit for tat brattiness to be pretty unproductive. And when you get into a fight with a pig, you both get covered in mud and the pig loves it.

But - just being the adult at taking blows hasn't worked for anyone else since these smooth brains chidlish antics because their primary attack tool. Maybe that's why "weird" is getting some traction. It is a backhanded insult that doesn't really demean you the same way as back and forth churlishness does.

Whatever gets under the republicans' skin is fine and dandy.

I mean - the "psychology" behind it is to try and apply a childish playground nickname that damages him. Sleepy Joe, Lyin' Chuck Schumer, Low Energy Jeb Bush. The template isn't complicated. huRr DuRr tampons are gross and icky, and for ladies, let's try and make people think Walz is gross and icky. While the number of MAGAts is never going to be zero, there doesn't seem to be quite as much childish frenzy around his name calling as there once was.

This just in - Russians are dumb as fuck and have no sense of justice, empathy or basic critical thinking.
