For the record, I personally believe the interference had an effect, but not enough to affect result. It merely fed existing sentiment a bit. Trump won legitimately enough, and the biggest distortion came from domestic media coverage choices (ugly but not illegal) not Russia.

My problem with Trump regime was not its legitimacy, nor even its ideological leanings or low-grade self-dealing/profiteering. It was with their open attempt to destroy institutions, hold them hostage with ransomware tactics, and putting a bunch of foxes in to guard henhouses.

Cute, but let's maybe not do this? Process, memorialize, move on. This is borderline nyanyanyha territory.

Thank you Pennsylvania and Georgia. Now can someone make some blue "PAGA" hats for us to wear for the next four years?

In the context of the conversation “blue vs red” - yes, that seems political. Ive never seen it as “incapable of making decisions” or serving masters. Typically, it’s a string of poor decisions that make headlines and the meme is it’s all the same individual.

Seems like a reach that the blues look down upon this poor Florida man as a red that needs to be pitied. It’s the butt of a joke, same as NJ gets it, but never takes it personally. 🤷‍♂️

Florida man is admired for sheer weirdness of messes he gets himself into. Tiger King style — he was gay I think? The basic Red Floridian is not a distinct species from the national version (except for the Cuban Republicans who differ in not being white)
