I'm really not a conspiracy theorist. I don't know if Trump cheated to somehow skew the election his way; however, one thing I did notice-- having followed his "public" support for months prior to the election, the second he won, things went quite.

On Twitter, tags like "TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP!" and "Trump47!" were trending for days before November 5th and all throughout election day. But then the results came out and those tags immediately disappeared. Which, fine, they were "old" tags, but -- it's not like new ones took their place. No "Trump won!" began dominating the trends. No "MAGA!" or "Congrats Mr. President"... nothing. In fact, various sport and international tags suddenly overtook, like the election was already old news.

Why? How? Of course, I know Elon is in Trump's pocket, and I know X/Twitter has been a MAGA megaphone for a while, and of course, I know Trump does have a real following out there-- but why did it seem so outspoken and dominating one second, and all but disappear the next?

I don't know if Trump cheated in order to win this election. I just know that the hype surrounding him got pretty damn quite the moment he won.

It just feels off to me.

in simple words:

"yeah we don't wanna end the genocide we just wanna save it for later"

The moment said genocide isn't of the white people, nobody bats an eye.

ALSO.

It's rather telling when a country who's endured an apartheid for decades can identify Israel as one, but not the huge Western powers who caused said apartheid?

The West don't want to admit what they caused and they hide behind their own romanticised history as a woollen shield.

My mom was like “UGH I just don’t understand why hosting thanksgiving is so hard for me to do when my mom always seemed to handle it so well. I don’t know how my parents did it. How were they able to cook everything and get the house clean and looking nice all at the same time?” And I was like well. You’re a single woman living in one of the most expensive areas in the country. And your parents were able to raise four kids in a solidly middle class environment while living off of only one income. And also they were both functional alcoholics. So. 🤷

wait what was the media storm during game 7?

media storm as in after going up 3 and dropping the ball the next 3 there was a lot of headlines/media attention that was bandwagoning on edm and calling the cats the worst sports meltdown in history because of the possibility of a reverse sweep when in their opinion the cats shouldve closed this out long before and pauls talked about it right after winning the cup especially the whole TURN THE TVS OFF episode

and montys mentioned walking in on game 7 and seeing the tvs still on when they were supposed to be off (presumably because of said media from what we know of because of what paul said)

lets not even mention how pro-edm a lot of the tnt panel was even during the series and spittin chiclets was notoriously very pro-edm its why during the cam&strick podcast when they bring up the whole "do you pay attention to media? do you know whos on your side?" to ekky (especially considering how much pressure they were under the whole finals) that ekky brings up the spittin chiclets podcast like "i saw all those spittin chiclets guys all over edms bandwagon" and then proceeds to try not elaborate too much about it

So a Jewish woman visited Kerala, India and came across a pro-Palestine poster here. And then she proceeded to tear it down.

When she was confronted, she decided to act entitled and argue with the locals. She even said that "we make money off the jews. And then spread hate against them."

You do not get to go to another country and vandalise people's private property there. And you certainly don't get to enjoy the services provided by us and then blame us for taking money for said services.

And most importantly, if a poster which appeals to people to stand up for humanity triggers you so much, maybe take a look at who you are. Don't make this conflict and being pro-israel your entire personality.

Do not stop talking about Palestine. Do not forget about Palestine. This is not a battle of religion and I do not think it should be treated as such. From the river to the sea, they will be free 🇵🇸

Disclaimer: I am not an expert. I am just some guy in the US. I am not a direct source of information. Please listen to Palestinians. Please help them directly. Please help with protests if your country is supplying Israel with weapons like the US.
