It would appear the PR strategy of “having zoomers use govt socials to post hype edits of ICE agents beating fat brown women to death with baseball bats” does not poll well with the general electorate

Trump has spent a decade purging conservatism—constitutional, economic, and even social (in the deepest sense of humility and respect for others)—from the Republican Party.
We should take solace in this absolute defeat because it’s a real chance to rebuild American conservatism.

Regular Americans are worried about AI taking their jobs. Trump’s response was to insist on giving AI a fun new name. He had no plan to address the actual concern people have. And this is the Blue Wave in a nutshell. Relentlessly focused on the shit nobody cares about, at the expense of the things they do care about.

I have to check the exit polling but can anyone tell me what percentage of voters were primarily concerned with renaming AI to SI and making sure the White House ballroom was renovated? Oh, exactly zero percent? Wow okay
1 million fucking percent
remember, it's all 100% self-inflicted
elected to close the border, reduce cost of living, and end forever foreign wars
instead they engaged in:
performative theatrics in blue cities instead of durable border policy
loud trade wars with everyone all at once instead of tactical engagement with China + strategic re-shoring of critical industries
poking every ally in the world in the eye simultaneously instead of doubling down on the ones which will matter for the next century
right before starting a war of choice with Iran at the apparent behest of Israel
skyrocketing the price of energy and most other things, making people feel poor and helpless, while engaging in pointless vanity projects putting their name on everything
all done simultaneously with the most corrupt and grift-laden admin in recent memory
and what, they just thought that the voters wouldn't care??
lmao
If you're going to build AI into your app, you need to make it more useful than just using Claude otherwise what's the point.

Stablecoins are becoming the internet's dollar, and that shift is starting to reshape monetary sovereignty in high-inflation economies.
Our new report with Silicon Valley Bank looks at what is driving that shift, and how controls can keep pace as emerging market adoption scales.
lol, the average voter
We’ve gone over 30 years with internet without the need for data centers.
We’ve gone 20 years with smart phones without the need for data centers.
Don’t let them gaslight you.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This is false. The internet and smartphones have always relied on data centers and server infrastructure to function. Commercial data centers emerged in the 1990s to support the early internet and dot-com boom.
