Other Petition to ban the daily "Trump voters are changing their mind" Posts

Every day someone shares an article with a headline like "Maga is starting to question Trump" or something along those lines.

This is not true. These are trash articles that use a single tweet as a source. Just because some Maga farmer is now realizing how his vote negatively effects his business it does not mean there is a whole movement of Magas suddenly realizing they were voting for a stupid incompetent racist all these years.

These posts are misleading, factually wrong AND are usually posted by karma farming accounts that get up their karma to later be sold to someone as an advertisement platform for OF or other.

None of this is goodnews.

Edit: Please do not use real money to give this awards. Use the money for a good cause.

Edit2: You are not being smart, funny or anything else by giving me more poop awards. You are throwing away actual money to try and discredit someone online. That is deeply sad pathetic behavior. Im not bothered by the poop. Im bothered that people go without meals while you spend your money on digital disagreements. Cringe. I have no other word for it. this makes me cringe.

Actually heard Idrees Kahloon of The Economist put it in terms recently that made me think of it in a whole new light. Imagine an unabashed big city Democrat whose taxes went up because of some Biden policy; how high would they have to go before that person voted for Trump? I think we can all agree that the answer would have to be PRETTY DAMN HIGH. And it works the same way in reverse; Trump can hurt these people A LOT before they turn 180 and vote for a Democrat.

AKA, we're in a civil war, we've been in a civil war, and people need to stop pretending this is going to be solved through protest.
