Honestly, I'll take the barrel of sketchy oil.
Yeah, and your blasting everyone left of Hillary for not being Carl Sagan, and giving all the Alex Jones's a pass because we weren't nice enough to them.
It's not realistic, I'd even be willing to argue it's not logistically possible with the headwinds created by mass misinformation and a willful disregard for facts as the idiots seek solace in escapism.
Sure. There's not a lot of "bulk content" trash farms yet so it feels more real than even twitter did before the enXhittification.

Women account for roughly 25-30% of the members of the house and Congress, and that's a record high in both cases, there's a roughly 20% gender gap in elected officials.
They're at roughly 30% across the board for elected positions in the U.S.
Women candidates actually almost reached gender parity for the Democrats this year, so about half of candidates were women.
Republican candidates saw a drop from last time, and fewer of them won.
Republicans don't support women like Democrats do, Republicans won everything this year
93 Women in the house are Democrats , and that's les sthan half the Democrats, so even in an election in a party with near-parity gender representation in their candidates who have voted in record numbers of women, there's still a gender gap in representation, but it's close, I'll give them that.
The Republicans regressed, they're no where near gender parity, no surprise there.
And at the national level, the results speak for themselves. Misogyny was absolutely a factor.
You're forgetting the part where they prefer the lies.
Turns out Carl Sagan's are rare, but practically anyone can be an Alex Jones.
Is that my pillow guy hiring geriatric fluffers?
But Mr ivory tower is right. What do we do now that we know everyone really is too stupid to understand that? What do we do now that a bunch of ignorant assholes prefer the lies?
Does it hurt when you need to stop talking enough to listen, or does the listening part never happen for you?
He's free use. (Free as in freedom, he still charges.)
That used to be enough. If the market can steer billionaire behavior toward good, we should let it. I can accept that someone who is inherently bad can do good.
But then, he started all this alt right nonsense. He either wholely believes in it, making him trash, or he doesn't, and he's doing it anyway because he thinks it's best for his company, which IMHO is somehow way worse, or at least an indicator that things in general are way worse.
