turns out the answer to my question is “less than a week”
Reminds me of Brexit
Come on, Russian money wasn’t involved in …
Oh
OHH
“Post not found”
Edit: works in browser, only broken in Voyager. Weird.
I’m on Voyager and can see it. They pushed a new update the day before yesterday, and a few things broke for me till I updated (inline images).
Updating your app might fix it.
To own the libs, they sold their soul.
When you realize memes shouldn’t have influence on your voting decision…
You broke it, you bought it.
Yeah except we’re all going to pay.
America even does socialism the worst
Unfortunately, I’m also being forced to buy it, even though I didn’t break it.
I tried to buy the other one because I didn’t want the broken one. Still stuck buying the broken one.
I’m willing to give a redo in this case
Bloody hell, this is the US version of Brexit… this world would be such a better place if people just did the bare minimum of reading into what they were actually voting for before they fucking voted!
Also, seeing the other top searches being about the tariffs would have me creasing if it weren’t so disappointingly stupid that these peoole seemingly knew nothing about Trumps most advertised economic policy before (assumably) voting for him
Whenever I see all the trash on the side of the road, I know why the world is that way.
No, the US version of Brexit was Trump’s first term, since they both happened in the same year.
This is just people saying they know exactly how bad Brexit went the first time and they want that again.
I think that most of them do a lot of reading. The problem is that they just read news and info that they like and have no ability to criticise arguments. Critic thinking is the main problem imho.
Some people need a narrative. Need. Cannot fucking move without one.
Assuming we get another election, the opposition to ‘we’re gonna murder the outgroup and it’ll bring your grandma back to life’ had goddamn well better promise something besides ‘we’re not them.’ Doesn’t matter what! Apparently you can just make shit up, and it gets people to the polls! Even if it’s the same dull neoliberal bullshit, you can just say it’ll make your dick bigger, and a significant chunk of the population will suddenly defend your actual argument.
Americans don’t read. They just want vibes.
This will be so much fucking worse than Brexit
I don’t know how trustworthy these search trends are. For example if you type in “where did I put my” it will complete all kinds of stuff like “keys” and “wallet” and “passport” which seems to imply that people are regularly asking Google where they placed items in their own house.
The searches spike after every election and this one was no different than any other year.
Compared to shrimp scampi, an example search I stole from another thread on this topic, it’s pretty clear the searches are meaningless and not tied to this particular result.
Suggested search queries have gone down the toilet since llms became a things
The relative numbers are worth little without knowing the underlying numbers. If it went from 100 to 700 people, that is still negligble. Also crazy how people immediately take that as a base to remove voters rights unless they pass some sort of test. Nothing could go wrong with stripping voters rights amirite?
For all future elections I suggest we have one voter - me. I promise to deliver the optimally democratic outcome.
Ah, the Vetinari principle. One man, one vote.
Vetinari is that man, and he has that vote.
Yup, and I promise quality boots for all.
For wearing or for licking?
This is what we now have, we just decided the one vote goes to donald fucking trump.
Well, that’s because the one voter wasn’t me.
See how much better my system would be?
This but unironically
Is this the “Find out” stage then?
Actions have consequences. Sad people had to figure it out this way.
Sad others among us will have to pay more than those that caused the problem. But such is America and so is history.
This is all bullshit, designed to start another wave of outrage. Even after the election, we’ve gotta have more stuff to rage about. News these days is just rage all day every day, no matter what.
I’ve said it the whole election cycle. The news downplayed every Trump gaffe because they wanted him back to fuel the outrage click machine. They wanted that sweet revenue back after 4 boring years of Biden just ya know doing his fucking job.
I had to have new anxiety meds called in because all of the political stuff is sending me into panic attacks. I’ve been avoiding politics as much as possible since the day after the election because it causes so much anxiety.
Why are you here then
This post caught my attention and decided to look at it despite my anxiety
“Somebody shit in my pants.”
“I don’t know who it was but they must really like corn.”
Corn? When did I eat corn?
I had those tamales 3 weeks ago…
Once again, these are the a validation headlines that create and support echo chambers. Honestly, what does it matter now?
We already know the regret is strong on this nation and will only get worse.
Post election searches are the best:
“What is the EU?”
“What is Brexit?”
Of course, let’s not let things like knowledge or consequences get in the way of reactionary & spiteful arrogance informed only by propaganda induced fear and hate, emotions know to prevent rational thought /s
“what is love?” (baby don’t hurt me)
The republican anti-education campaign bears fruit I see.
God I fucking hate humans
I love it. America’s last hope and people failed. Fuck this place. Let the civil war begin.
