I was simply telling a joke, but point well taken.

To be fair, considering the right wing hellscape our (US) Overton window overlooks the bias bot might actually have a point.

What a brilliant way to put it, “theft from the public domain”. I’m gonna have to remember that one.

I’m not against nuclear power, but could they have concocted a worse set of motivations? Restarting Three Mile Island to power Microsoft’s AI ambitions? Shit reads like something a super villan would cook up.

I’ve also ran into some issues simply accessing youtube through my vpn, but that’s been going on for a while.

Absolutely. So much of the right wing media space is inhabited by, funded by, and glorifies grifters that they’ve created a constant chunk of their audience that is vulnerable to their tactics. Values or policy prescriptions don’t even really need to come into it, if you are a grifter it’s just a smart business decision to start drifting to the right. It opens up those audiences to you because you are “one of them”.

I think it’d also count as a full term in office so far as the rule against running more than twice goes. So you could run for reelection, but that isn’t a “one werid trick” to getting three terms in office.
