I've had this #cartoon in my files for decades. It's no longer a cartoon but the reality many Americans voted for.

@KeithDJohnson Do you get the same error with NewPipe, PipePipe, FetchIt, or yt-dlp? (Could also try using them in conjunction with Orbot/torify, or a VPN.)

@KeithDJohnson Ah, I was afraid of that.
NewPipe and PipePipe are unofficial libre apps for YouTube. They allow you to watch (and download) videos from YouTube and other sites, without ads. PipePipe also supports SponsorBlock, allowing you to skip sponsored sections of videos.

@KeithDJohnson NewPipe and PipePipe are (I think) only available from F-Droid. F-Droid is a libre app store for Android which is very strict about only providing libre apps by default, so it's free of all the malware present on the Play Store.

Also, more than half of Americans who could have voted DID NOT VOTE. So, more like 23% of the potential electorate went for Trumpster.

@KeithDJohnson I cannot believe America is still this stupid. As one who lives here...
I thought the first term taught us a lesson. Guess not...
Actually its not the american people who have spoken, its the "CULT" that has spoken.
I very much hope all those idiot "uncommitted people" who didn't vote to protest the genocide regret choosing to do so now. They will get much worse than what Biden did now, times a thousand!
I also think they deserve to suffer if they caused this oaf to get back in power. They to me are as complicit as the trump maga people.
Like WTF makes anyone think he is worth anything more than a person to listen to for the sake of laughing at their stupidity.
That's all he is good for, entertainment.

@KeithDJohnson or is it we are unhappy and the government is to blame
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from scameron1@me.dm
@scameron1 Blaming & scapegoating "the government" is performed by both left and right. Both recognize that billionaires & corporations have hijacked government to a significant degree. What can 'we the people' do to be happy? Care for each other. Rescale our realities to localized supply chains not dependent on those who profit from our bondage. Billionaires & corporations will likely resist until they (or we) collapse. Anyway, thoughts...

@KeithDJohnson our media has stoked outrage and anger. Patiently reforming the narrative. You can't convince everyone, just enough.
Rapid unification requires crisis e.g. war. We may experience that at 2 degrees. Meanwhile, just small steps.

@KeithDJohnson don't forget about the part where the new administration is going to remove all the investor protections put into place after the 1929 crash by allowing companies to issue unregulated crypto tokens instead of shares of stock that are regulated by the #SEC.
(this is absolutely going to happen btw... crypto industry was responsible for ~50% of all corporate money in the election)

50%? Do you have a source for that?
I would laugh at the entire crypto pyramid scheme ahem industry if not for the massive environmental cost.

@firebreathingduck @KeithDJohnson 48% of corporate money as of late august. not sure where it came in by the end.

probably time to stop laughing. republican senators are already drafting legislation to build a "strategic bitcoin reserve" i.e. "transfer hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars directly into the hands of crypto bros".
https://cryptobriefing.com/bitcoin-reserve-asset-following-trump/
and that's before you even start worrying about the fact that some of them (most of them, actually) want to default on the debt and crash the dollar so as to make bitcoin the world's new USD. this has been peter thiel's stated plan for most of a decade. the only one who's not totally on board w/it appears to be elon, who i'm not sure i want to trust with the global financial system.

I misunderstood the earlier statement to mean that crypto was half of all election spending for the 2024 election. The total of all election spending is estimated to be $15.9 billion: https://www.opensecrets.org/news/2024/10/total-2024-election-spending-projected-to-exceed-previous-record/
Your other points still stand. If they switch US currency to Bitcoin, the economy will implode.

@firebreathingduck @KeithDJohnson don't quote me but i think there are some cases where opensecrets double counts spend which is why molly white set up followthecrypto.org, but even if they do it's still only a 10-20% overestimate.

fwiw the plan i've heard them talk about works the other way: default on the debt and/or hyperinflate the dollar -> implode the economy -> the world will have no choice but to switch to bitcoin

@cryptadamist @KeithDJohnson
As far as I understand it, Bitcoin has a current transaction throughput limit of 7/second.
Visa processes 24,000 transactions per second.
How far would they get into their Bitcoin transition before someone said, "Wait, I ordered a pizza and they told me the payment is expected to clear in March, 2315!"

The goal of Trump's backers is to bring down the USA so obviously they are going to start on trashing the economy as soon as they are able.

@EverydayMoggie @firebreathingduck @KeithDJohnson people should stop worrying about trump ending elections and start worrying about elon and thiel intentionally collapsing the economy so as to destroy the welfare state (social security, medicare, etc).
thiel is well documented to be on board with this plan well before covid made him even weirder.

I'm sure they will try. I'm not so sure they won't also destroy themselves right along with everything else.

Looks like only a minority of Americans voted for it.
About 15 million more Americans didn't vote than elected this government.

@KeithDJohnson be honest, is this what you think a lot of Trump voter explicitly wants or think they voted for?
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from pettter@mastodon.acc.umu.se
@pettter @KeithDJohnson This is literally what they voted for.
And for a surprising number of them, it's actually part of their ideology or the logical conclusion of their ideology, Capitalism. Which trumps little irritating things like human rights, democracy, the rule of law, you know all the stuff that I learned makes a Western industrialized country.
After understanding that, it's trivial. The Turkeys literally understand it's their fate to be Christmas Dinner.
