Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
/r/politics is in full-scale defeatism mode now. It's like 50% accusations of it being staged, and 50% despair that he's effectively already won.
After seeing the fistpump photo I share /r/politics feelings on this. I think this sealed it.
His victory was already sealed, this sealed him as a messiah for his
supporters. He can do whatever now.
I'm feeling genuine fear. Need to log off
Yeah that pic goes hard as fuck and I say that as someone who hates Trump, hates America and think our ugly ass flag looks better when it's on fire
but that pic is objectively good
Yeah I saw the fist pump and was like... ooof... that's that.
That's pretty much true of here as well.
That's why it's so bizarre to see on /r/politics. Normally they're totally detached from reality.
Biden's debate performance broke some, and the others are Blue-Anon/Russiagaters who are happy to call this a false flag.
Probably too many people who are real users flooding the site to get out-botted like they usually are.
He had already won when he woke up this morning.
I can't shake the feeling that we are so immunized to violence that the post-assassination-attempt bump might not happen. Like how many libs out there are gonna switch their vote to Trump because he got shot at? Are there really that many undecideds that will flock to him now?
Questions that will be answered in November, I guess.
It's always about turnout. The people who would change their mind at this point are marginal morons. What matters is you getting your guys into those fucking booths and this is going to energize the hogs to turn up. How much they will is up for debate since we're so far out from the election and Americans have worse long term memories than goldfish.
