CJ didn't vote for this (sh.itjust.works)

CJMusic Oct 7, 2023:

Joe Biden is the worst US president in history.

CJMusic Jul 6, 2024:

It would appear that, in light of Biden failing and floundering, the Dems sent their minions out to foment panic about Project 2025. It won't work.

CJMusic May 1, 2025:

I regret voting for Trump.

My husband is laid off and can't find a job and my kids' credit scores have tanked bc of his student loan policy.

This is not what I voted for.

The problem with choosing your own reality is that when it doesn't bear any resemblance to actual reality, you will inevitably be forced to face up to it at some point.

Humans generally hate to admit when they are wrong so creating a version of events where you didn't make a mistake is easier.

The magic of modern social media is that you can ensconce yourself in a made-up AM Talk Radio / AI-generated reality. CJ's experiencing a bit of propaganda lag between experiencing the consequences of the policy and being told who to blame as the scapegoat. But that's just due to us living in an in-between time with no elections on the immediate horizon.

Talk to CJ in the run up to the midterms and ask her why her husband is laid off and her kids credit scores are shit. I'm sure she'll be able to explain in great detail how Illegal Gay ISIS Woke Feminazis are to blame.

Exactly the reason Fox was created, and The Fairness Doctrine was killed.

Seal your cult voters in an alternate reality bubble. Win. Repeat.
