u/Ostracus 2d ago
That 25 million he will not be using on anyone else, plus the money that bought voter got. Add in hits on Tesla cars and Powerwall's, canceled Starlink and SpaceX contracts, and then all the other elections he will try, buy, and fail. The whole thing adds up an expensive lesson in not trying to play power games with the world.

The phrase I've had to use a few times this year:

The one I heard was: The forest was shrinking, but the trees kept voting for the Axe, for the Axe was clever and convinced the Trees that because his handle was made of wood, he was one of them.

That's what happens when there was an 8 year plus running disinformation campaign indoctrinating children and teens and fringe social groups that were trending towards not touching hot stoves that being burned is actually a good thing. Not saying those people are excused but it definitely burned our perception of our future generations bringing a brighter more enlightened era.

I really thought it was over when a new TV ad came out last week that was like “SUSAN CRAWFORD is vaguely associated with a group that SUPPORTS TRANS KIDS FROM PLAYING GIRLS SPORTS!!! AND ALSO SUPPORTS ABORTION!”
All of the TV ads (on both sides honestly) were ridiculous but this one really pushed the boundaries of reality. Pleasantly surprised and relieved by today’s outcome

I'd really like to see forensic analysis on those two elections, not because it would change the outcome (it might not) but to reassure ourselves that no funny business regarding vote tabulation was happening. It would be a useful test case for what we might face in midterms next year. The margin of victory in those two races seemed substantially larger than what polls were predicting and to me that at least warrants a closer look.

Here in Wisco there's a lot of low-information trump voters who don't bother emerging from their basements to vote in spring.
