And so it begins…
Do you still remember when Trump spam filled the internet and someone made a browser plugin that removed everything with Trump in it? It was called “make internet great again”.
Good tip, I already have a plugin that removes all climate change news, now I never have to worry about it :)

There’s being informed, and there’s being saturated to the the point it affects your mental health. In 2020, I had to unsub a bunch of subreddits that had a tendency to bring up trump even when he wasn’t part of the subject at all because I was starting to really spiral. I understand wanting a reprieve from the firehouse that is the Trump/anti-trump “discourse”. It’s not so bad now, thankfully.
The “nanana I can’t HEAR you” of supposedly grown up people
lol he out-competed the entire rest of the field combined
That won’t stop the media from dragging out the obvious conclusion for as long as possible.
I mean, no shit. He’s basically running as an incumbent as far as advantage and the rest of the field isn’t very impressive. Are you rooting for him to win or just complaining about media coverage?
Complaining about the media coverage. They’re treating this like it’s actually a real race and not a clown show.
I don’t like the coverage either, but it’s a double edged sword.
It’s fairly annoying that it’s resulting in a ton of click-bait headlines, but it’s probably for the better in a weird way. Those same articles are the start of scaring people into voting. While voting is good, it’s difficult to justify the emotions it takes for people to do so. I just hate that is the way things are now, TBH.
I strongly disagree. People recognize when they’re being manipulated, so they tune out the elections because the media is always trying to scare them and it’s all a dramatized clown show. It stopped being scary years ago, now it’s annoying. You know how a lot of people don’t watch the news and don’t pay attention to politics? This is why.
Yep, but about half of the Iowa Republicans who voted for Haley would vote for Biden over Trump, according to polling. Sure, we all know he’s going to be the Republican nominee, but can he really win the general? We still need to be cautious, but it looks like Republicans can’t be nominated without Trump and they can’t be elected with him, including Trump himself.
So out of all 4 Haley supporters 2 would vote for biden
That won’t stop the media from dragging out the obvious conclusion for as long as possible.
How exactly does the media drag out the Republican party defined nominating process?
NPR better tell New Hampsire to move up their primary a few weeks.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Former President Donald Trump has won the Iowa Republican caucuses, according to a race call by The Associated Press.
Trump also thanked his team and supporters who turned out to vote despite the arctic blast that brought freezing temperatures throughout the state.
While addressing his supporters, Trump criticized President Biden for issues with the country’s southern border, crime, and wars abroad.
Despite canceling three of his four in-person campaign events over the weekend due to harsh winter weather, Trump called on his supporters to get out and caucus.
DeSantis, who came in second in the caucuses, campaigned heavily in the state and earned the endorsement of Iowa Gov.
Polling shows that Haley, meanwhile, has gained on Trump in New Hampshire, which holds its primary eight days after Iowa’s caucuses.
