According to the comments r/europe_sub and r/canada_sub might be involved as well.

    I mean if you read any Reddit that during the road to the recent USA elections, Biden should have won by an extremely large margin, and later , Kamala.

    If we used Reddit threads of those months as reference, we’d currently been talking about how hard Kamala won

    But she didn’t

    So yeah, take whatever is on Reddit, and now Lemmy, with an asteroid sized pinch of salt

    Not saying those comments were fake, they certainly represent someone, now, wheater that someone is a sizeable amount of voters…

      Snakes on a Plane and Bernie have proven that what you see online is complete bullshit.

      Biden got the boot because he was a no-hoper and his party must have been aware of his cancer. Kamala stood ZERO chance.

      It sucks to have to admit that Trump and his fascists are popular. Very popular.

          Based on online hype, it could be believed that it was going to be the highest grossing movie of all time.

          It was an unmitigated disaster and complete flop.

          Nobody went to see the piece of shit. Everybody talked about it online.

            Huh, I’m amazed - I wasn’t exposed to any of that. I’d only seen the memes about it afterwards.

              Think about opening your favorite social media app, and seeing 60% of the posts in support of something… And then when the day comes that thing receives about 1% of RL support.

              Snakes on a Plane. Enthusiasm for Democrats 2024.

                Damn this explains why I never saw it but did heard of it online

                Kinda like the opposite with Avatar from Cameron. The more people diss on the fans, the more they galvanize to see it

          That’s assuming that whoever didn’t vote disapprove of him, and that’s false.

          Whoever didn’t vote, was comfortable enough to not oppose him (or Kamala for that matter) and let him get to the white house.

      As always, trust but verify. I was telling people here for months that Kamala hadn’t won yet and everybody needed to get out and spread the word on Project 2025.

      We saw what happened, and we see a lot of opinions here on Lemmy. Trust but verify.
