i'm still optimistic, but i live with someone who is receiving the "left" brainwashing while i'm receiving the "right" propaganda.
the same youtube/news algorithms that serve me right-wing feel good content of Trump in garbage costumes are serving him "trump is leaning into hateful Puerto Rico 'garbage' rhetoric ", "'gilded age' is dog whistle rascism", "educate your friends about the red-wave phenomenon on election day", "it's going to look like republicans are winning until all the ballots are counted later".
the paranoid part of me says, the state will claim Harris winner, use either AI generated or real violence to declare Emergency orders to implement social medai crackdowns and then social/environmental credit system.
then US will finally once again be a colony of some elite group if it wasn't already.
the good news is that NOSTR & bitcoin will be on fire in that scenario!
