Damn idk this meme but the literal first words that popped into my head
Probably coincidence!
First time I've ever heard of a social media app behaving like this, certainly.
I just have to assume its because Republicans make such good content. How else do you explain Ben Shapiro, Andrew Tate, and Joe Rogan blowing up my YouTube Recommends section? They're just winning in the marketplace of ideas, clearly.
Because bad ideas never take root! Completely unrelated, there are 12 seasons of big bang theory.
Net thing you’re going to tell me is that those left-wing rags the NY Times & Washington Post were actually Sane Washing Trump too.
Wow, no fucking shit. Who'd a thunk that?
In similar news, Water is wet!
No it's not.
