I love labelers. "Epstein connection" already on Larry Krauss.

They're definitely trolling:
@supernaturaltan.bsky.social says: In other news: Post referencing retired motorcycle mechanic, weekend drag racer, Chevrolet Super Sport enthusiast, and Animal Rights advocate inspires toy soldiers to organize. It's not hard to understand exactly how twitter turned into X.

That account has a hell of a lot of problematic labels...
@dgoldman.bsky.social screenshot of their labels. * Muted by generative AI created text and images * user blocked by hard block list * Gaza genocide denier * islamaphobia * israel apologia * denies U.S. genocide role * weaponizes antisemitism

It's interesting the tells transphobes have... "Just about the sports". Reminds me of tells from other types of bigots.
Skeet from "Sue" @music5150.bsky.social saying in response to Newsom's transphobia: "Actually, it's just about the sports and he's capable of learning and is kicking ass protecting actual citizens in California."

liberationnow.bsky.social: Why isn't that the comparison you should be making? It was already a genocide under Biden. jacie-g.bsky.social: NOT true. So you sit on that hill while Palestine will be ripped out and America destroyed from within. Good bye.

lol, omg:
Parker Molloy discussing why they will never vote for transphone Gavin Newsom, followed by mtintulsa.bsky.social saying fuck you spoiled lil shit. this is how we are here now. You one issue fucksticks that allow the destruction of the country to ease your 10 year old idea of moral righteousness. Followed by jakeweindling saying This you? and quoting an older tweet of mtintulsa saying "Imaging hating trans people so much that you turn the country over to Elon Musk rather than treat them equally".

Sure, if you can't math, one can go with the premise in that article.
Skeet from herooftim.bsky.social Only 21% of Muslims in Michigan voted for Trump. Michigan is 2.4% Muslim. Assuming every single one voted, it's truly bizarre & Islamophobic to blame Muslims for 0.5% of voters voting Trump. White people are why Trump won. 54% of white Michiganders voted for Trump, and they're 78% of the electorate.

Since they blocked me, here they are lying about factual reality:
@thequeso.bsky.social skeeting: HE DIDNT FUCKING RUN HE WAS THE FIRST PRESIDENT IN 56 YEARS TO NOT STAND FOR REELECTION AND ONLY THE SECOND SINCE POLK HE ADMITTED HE DIDNT HAVE THE JUICE WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU WANT HIM TO DO OTHER THAN NOT RUN IN 2020 IN THE FIRST PLACE

Racist alert:
Kernighan skeet: The people who are responsible for Trump being President are the overwhelming number of white people who voted to put him in office. Brian Guteking SZN (@packrfan4.bsky.social) replies: Actually, it's probably due more to the number of black and Latino voters that voted Republican.

Michigan, too, was lost due to white voters. People really like to make a lot out of Dearborn, but one has to look in the context of the entire state. Someone else put it together nicely:

It's a shame you can't math. It was white people who elected Trump.

"The reason we're here is because the government of the United States wants you to leave the United States." Judge Ubald ul-Haq, presiding from a courtroom on Varick Street, told a group of about a dozen children on a recent morning on Webex. "It's my job to figure out if you have to leave." ul-Haq continued. "It's also my job to figure out if you should stay." The parties included a 7-year old boy, wearing a shirt emblazoned with a pizza cartoon, who spun a toy windmill while the judge spoke. There was an 8-year old girl and her 4-year old sister, in a tie-dye shirt, who squeezed a pink plushy toy and stuffed it into her sleeve. None of the children were accompanied by parents or attorneys, only shelter workers who helped them log on to the hearing. Immigrant advocates and lawyers say an increasing number of migrant children are making immigration court appearances without the assistance of attorneys, which they say will lead to more children getting deported.

Among Biden 2020 voters who did not cast their ballots for Harris, 29% said "ending Israel's violence in Gaza" was the main factor affecting their vote -- making it the most cited issue among several options, according to a poll by YouGov and the Institute for Middle East Understanding (IMEU) Policy Project rleased Jan 15. An additional 24% of respondents cited the economy, while 12% cited Medicare and Social Security and 11% named immigration and border security. Meanwhile, the least cited issues were healthcare (10%) and abortion policy (9%).

However, Biden's genocide was *deeply* unpopular with his base.
Waleed Shaid posts on twitter: CBS Poll: 61% of Americans oppose weapons aid to Israel's asault in Gaza. 77% of Democrats and 63% of self-identifying moderates reject US weapons aid to Israel. 77% of under 30 oppose weapons aid to Israel, 75% of Black Americans, 66% of women, 56% of white college grads.

Your numbers seem to be significantly off.
