They use signal. They added the wrong person to the chat. Oh well. There’s no real disaster here. No real operational details exposed. Just some politicking that surprises no one.

They have way, way more employees than they need.

Our information environments are socially engineered. Reddit for sure. Major news sites. Etc

Or do we only do that in other countries?

Don’t agree. Sometimes you can observe the world around you, and it’s not pretty. Are they not allowed to observe the truth as they see it? What if they are right?

Trump says things people directionally agree with, and they forgive the details.

When your border is wide open allowing millions of people in each year, you don’t care as much about the political circus.

When your grocery bills 3x, you don’t care as much about the loose speech.

Abraham accords. Isis. Tax cuts. Booming economy of 2018-2020. Remain in Mexico. Far lower illegal immigration. People remember the actions too.

“From my understanding, his past performance was terrible too”

Depends on what you focus on. If you listen to soundbites it sounds like a circus. There’s a lot of drama displacing and stepping on toes of the entrenched players in the system.

This is a great example, and you’re downvoted because liberals don’t like to hear the criticisms of their tribe. They ask why people would vote for Trump, you explain your anecdote, and they downvote you. Classic blue tribe behavior.

Harris wasn’t just unlikeable. She came across as downright incompetent, a mediocrity elevated to the highest positions by the exact sort of identify focused criteria voters don’t want.

Millions of desperate people from very different cultures came into the country overwhelming welfare services and small communities, getting paid under the table by greedy businesses undercutting Americans and subverting labor laws. The current party in power allowed this influx to reach record levels, and didn’t do a thing about it. Any path to amnesty for these people down the road will change our political landscape forever, and Americans never voted for this policy.

I regret that comment. I was upset and shouldn’t have posted it.

But what I would say is: countries have distinct cultures, and there’s nothing wrong with wanting to preserve them, which implies controlling the rate of immigration from different cultures. The U.S. would be quite different if we replaced half the population with people from Iran, China, or even England. There is a happy medium.Pros and cons.

Yet they haven’t they fixed it. It ballooned during the last four years, including federally funded flights bringing in people from South American countries
