Autism is not an epidemic.

I know this is always stupid but I truly love the idea that the vile liberals cheated in 2020, turned off the cheating machine in 2024 both for the Presidential race and also some incredibly pivotal senate seats, and then turned it back on to really stick it to Elon over a Wisconsin court election

Next time someone tries to explain a complex geopolitical situation based on what they've seen on their feeds, just remember: they're essentially describing the plot of a movie after only watching the trailer and reading some angry comments about it.

Oligarchy + authoritarianism = stagnation. The current movers and shakers making sure they will never be out-competed. Shielded by politicians who will say anything to get your vote, and do anything not to be dependent on it again. Putting the lid on societal development and growth.
