No worries. I understand. My intent was only to grant access to my timeline.

@markc-289.bsky.social .. I just sent you a friend request on FB. I've put many of the worst MAGA offenders from my timeline on restriction and have beaten many others into submission, so would need to scroll back around 6 months to really see the battles I was embroiled in. It was ugly.

Sadly, I'm all too aware. I've squandered over a decade arguing endlessly with MAGA friends and family on Facebook. Hard to get through to cultists.

He's a complete and total disaster.

Safer that way.

Rebuild?

Good question. I doubt they're using email content.. but it's worth checking.

I am old.. and I'm trying not to fight it too much. It's helping me with my ideas.

Ahhh.. I should have thought of that. Yeah, AI is embedded everywhere now.

You don't. Who is suggesting you do?

Some people think they need a hammer to sink a thumbtack.

Yeah... the equivalent of being able to drop propaganda flyers over the population, like they did in the 30's, but now they can do it 24/7/365.

Which is why the more we stand for, the less power they have.

It wouldn't be acceptable if WE didn't accept it. It's not the Internet's fault, sadly. WE are the problem.

Any thoughts on what we can do, in the general population, to counter the inevitable negative impact?

Looking that up now. Sounds fascinating (would be an appropriate choice of words if the world weren't actually collapsing.)

Sure doesn't look like Tyler was the actual shooter: youtube.com/clip/UgkxhyW...

Ooooof... I hate that my gut has had that same feeling.

My MAGA friends said Project 2025 would never happen (and that they did not want it), but when I asked how they would stop it if they were wrong, most would not admit there was the possibility of being wrong, most others wouldn't answer. The ones that did simply said 2A... obviously foolishness.
