It would be easier for other/establishment republicans to shame him and hold him accountable. Trump is immune to those things in a way nobody else is. The cult of personality doesn’t just shift to JD Vance.

I’ve heard rumors that it was leaked by the GOP specifically to get him to drop out before it was too late, but he’s a stubborn Trumper, so I hope they’re enjoying the beast they created.

I wouldn’t say zero penalty; his poll numbers are shit. They were before the story leaked, but nobody seems to be Teflon the way Trump is. He’s possibly tanking North Carolina down ballot, and could even flip the state for Kamala. His political career is surely finished. It would have been before now if the GOP had their way, they tried really hard to get him to drop out.

I feel like if you’re unsure enough to ask the Internet about something like this, the safest bet is to just not do it.

Sounds like you’re gonna do it anyway, tho, so good luck.

It’s not closed to the general public, any member of the general public can join as long as you get an invite. I’m not sure how to get invites as I don’t interact with BlueSky much, but I was invited by my brother and he’s nothing special on the Internet.

I spend more time blocking furries on BlueSky than seeing any content of value.

That would imply an authority higher than Elon that he must submit to, and that just isn’t possible.

That’s okay, it’s still sending all your data to Meta, and that’s the important thing.

I mean everyone involved is probably dead by now.

Nobody expects you to understand a metaphor. It’s for the rest of us to lol at.

Not everybody used to be on it. There was a stigma to socializing online. “Don’t give out your address, full name, or credit card info online!!” Shit I don’t want to have to give it to a person these days. Online dating, not my thing, but I love that it’s bringing people together. It’s not as strange to quit your job and move across the country to get married to your internet boyfriend as it used to be.

Most people on the internet are normal people because most people are on the internet.

He’s trying to cause an immigration crisis; people in Africa can’t afford food so they will try to immigrate to Europe, either legally or not, and strain the resources and increase cultural divides. It was the whole reason Putin started fucking with the grain supply as soon as he could. He was hoping the immigration crisis and energy crisis would overlap and make each other worse, but The Netherlands recently dissolved their government over the immigration crisis, so now is good too.
