REPORT From The ASYLUM Things have been a bit quiet here on Wimkin - what with the election-related(?) 'technical issues' driving off participation - so we have spent a bit of time trolling on Gettr. Sheesh. The level of delusion there . . . It's over Nine THOUSAND!! One of the currently fashionable sperges on those parts is comparing total votes cast in a given State to the census results for citizens. Do you see the issue? That's right; the census data is 6 years old. So a state with a growing population - especially one growing from refugees from, say, California - could easily return a vote total higher than the last census. And a decidedly 'Blue' one, to boot. But you can't tell them that. Most of the denizens there, even ones with their hearts mostly in the right places, just repost whatever the carriers of their preferred narrative Post, with no critical thought applied. This is kind of sad, because I think this sort of echo chamber is a model for the internal conversations going on around in President Trump's inner circle, and as long as those narratives stay afloat in there, he (and quite possibly the rest of the Republican Party) will not feel the need to address his failings.
