The status quo is a slow slide into fascism. And we are at the end of that slide. At some point, and that point was 2016, enough people would rather vote for the fascist than the woman that, at best, would continue the slow decline.

Sahil Lavingia — an engineer, tech startup founder and CEO of Gumroad, an e-commerce platform for content creators
Thanks for the article, now I know what kind of person leads Gumroad: A DOGE lackey.
Edit:
Lavingia wrote that he wanted to work at DOGE to make an impact, noting that he previously canvassed for Bernie Sanders’ presidential run in 2016.
And he has no political backbone.
WIRED previously reported on the alarm bells Lavingia and his work set off for VA employees worried about DOGE’s lack of understanding of the agency and disregard for normal procedures.
“In meetings with the Office of the CTO, I discovered ambitious ongoing software projects like reducing veterans' benefits claims processing from 133 days to under a week,” wrote Lavingia. “I also learned that several of VA's code repos were already open-source, and the world's first electronic health record system, VistA, was built by VA employees over 40 years ago.”
And he is an idiot to boot, with no prior knowledge of the agency he tried to trim down.
Have they also lifted the target restrictions? There's a bridge I really really really want to see in the water.
This meme fits
But the truth is of course that they know their lies are just that. They just don't care. They are trying to create an alternative reality, just how Trump managed to with his supporters.
He is right, but most will choose convenience. And I do believe that people in the future will suffer for it. The brain is like a muscle; you have to use it to keep your mind sharp. I fear that in the future will lack critical thinking or frustration tolerance because AI makes it so easy.
That will happen to most "artforms" or jobs that require research. I notice that on myself as well. I now ask an AI for regex stringsor when I want to implement a function I'm unsure about, I ask an AI to see what they are doing first. Critical thinking is still involved, but less than it used to.
No, it wasn't the decisive factor. The misogynists wouldn't have voted for Harris either way. The decisive factor was Harris failing to inspire her own base while pandering to the elusive "undecided voter" by propping up Liz Cheney, among other things. Don't get it twisted, Harris lost because she and her team were too incompetent to read the room.
