    Did losing the presidency after I’ve term not make him look like a lost already?

      His followers don’t think he lost, remember. Most of them still think he’s president.

        Sadly, and strangely, this is true. Although, ironically, they’re still voting for him.

          They are not voting for a third term president. They’re voting for a forever term dictator.

            Yes, but my point is they’re voting for him even though they claim he’s still the president in office. Why are they voting if he never left the office? It’s just weird.

                If not for the ridiculous system and the insistence of the DNC leadership on making sure he’s the only alternative to fascism, yes.

                Voting for Biden WOULD be very weird if you were not doing it under duress.

        There’s this thing I’ve noticed on Facebook, I don’t fully understand but they post things Maga really want to be true like ‘try that in a small town singer smashes tailor swift attendance record’ with an obviously unrelated or fake picture. The comments are almost everyone acting like it’s true, there was one about some woke companies share value falling fifty percent with everyone celebrating then once comment linking to a share price tracker pointing out its not even close to true.

        I don’t know who makes them or why but the comnent section believes them.

          This is why I deleted all of my social media accounts years ago. All I have now is a mastodon account.

          I don’t really consider this social media in the same way. Lemmy is a social news aggregator, so it’s adjacent to social media, but people here aren’t friends, we’re all anonymous. It’s not really the same thing. Perhaps one might call it “pseudosocial media”.
