In my opinion it is a populist movement, and we should accept this hard truth. Trump is in office due to "manipulation" to the same extent that any speech is manipulation. He is a salesman and has sold his vision for the country successfully.
The downvotes for your comment are quite telling of the demographic of Hacker News. But even leftwing media are admitting the Democrat party has a problem:
"We cannot solve this problem without an honest assessment of who we are. How we see ourselves as the Democratic Party—the party of the people, the party of the working class and the middle class—no longer matches up with what most voters think."
"For the first time since the mid-20th century, the central fault line of American politics is neither race and ethnicity nor gender but rather class, determined by educational attainment. But in the intervening half century, the parties have switched places. Republicans once commanded a majority among college-educated voters while Democrats were the party of the working class. Now the majority of college educated voters support Democrats"
But I suppose there's too many well-off, well-educated, white collar elites on this site who aren't willing to face the reality that their politics have been ruining blue collar lives for decades, and the political backlash has finally hit a crescendo powerful enough to wash over Washington. So I guess we blame it all on disinformation campaigns?
Almost daily, Michigan’s Arab Americans voters in precincts of heavy concentration are receiving glossy mailings with messages like: “Kamala Harris and Doug Emhoff: Unwavering Support for Israel” or “Kamala Harris and Doug Emhoff, the ultimate pro-Israel power couple” or “Kamala Harris and Elissa Slotkin [the Democratic candidate for Senate in Michigan]: The proven team we can trust to stand up for the Jewish community.” And targeted video messaging on social media sites saying things like “Kamala Harris stands with Israel.”
Meanwhile, in areas of Pennsylvania where there are heavy concentrations of Jewish voters, homes are receiving messages like: “Kamala Harris will embolden anti-Semites” or “Donald Trump always stands up for the Jewish people.” And targeted video messaging on social media platforms saying “Kamala Harris will not be silent about human suffering in Gaza” or “Two-faced Kamala Harris: Standing with Palestine and not our ally, Israel.”
These mailings and social media posts are paid for by a dark money group, Future Coalition PAC. Researchers have identified that one of the major donors to this group is Elon Musk, the principal owner of X and a strong supporter of Donald Trump’s presidential bid.
They should be looking into them for buying up all the competitors in domain selling. The bought two of the biggest competitors Dan.com and unregistery. Dan.com charge 9% on a sale of a domain now godaddy is charging 30%. Completely different company since Bob Parsons sold to a couple private equity firms.
Not sure why people keep making this argument. If I'm obscenely rich and don't want to follow the rules, it's at least an order of magnitude cheaper and easier to have something on earth than mars. Buy a country or two, or set up a floating city in international waters. The challenges involved in each are peanuts compared to somewhere which has no breathable air.
If you're somewhere with no breathable air, and control the access to Oxygen, everyone else who was dumb enough to sign up to this trip is now under your complete control. That's what it's about.
It will always be infinitely amusing that Musk has gone from a walking-on-water Nerd Jesus to a mustache-twirling Bond Villain on this site in the course of a year.
Looked at my calendar to see if it was April 1st when I saw this blog post. Why in the world would CloudFlare partner with CrowdStrike unless the same CIA team thats running CrowdStrike has their hand in CloudFlare...
Learn some math, more specifically learn abstract algebra | read current papers in the field, befriend people active in the field that have taken over from Charles Leedham-Green, George Havas, et al is good practical advice to avoid using methods already known for decades to be weak.
It answers the question.
> Learn some decency.
Little rude, given the question asked was answered.
