I don’t know how trustworthy these search trends are. For example if you type in “where did I put my” it will complete all kinds of stuff like “keys” and “wallet” and “passport” which seems to imply that people are regularly asking Google where they placed items in their own house.
The searches spike after every election and this one was no different than any other year.
Compared to shrimp scampi, an example search I stole from another thread on this topic, it's pretty clear the searches are meaningless and not tied to this particular result.
This is all bullshit, designed to start another wave of outrage. Even after the election, we've gotta have more stuff to rage about. News these days is just rage all day every day, no matter what.
I had to have new anxiety meds called in because all of the political stuff is sending me into panic attacks. I've been avoiding politics as much as possible since the day after the election because it causes so much anxiety.
Why are you here then
This post caught my attention and decided to look at it despite my anxiety
"How to de-extinct the dodo"

I honestly think we should have a 20 question multiple choice basic 8th grade civics quiz before people are allowed to vote. We no longer have an electorate that's informed enough to be capable of voting. Score 60% or higher on that quiz or get the fuck out of the booth.
Edit: I'm incorrect, there's no national requirement that I can find. In CA we can't finish 8th grade without studying and passing a civics test covering this material: https://www.ixl.com/standards/california/social-studies/grade-8. So yeah, I amend my opinion - these standards should be followed nationwide.
So completely disenfranchise the poor and working class whose education system has been purposefully destroyed by the ruling class, and only let the ruling class vote?
Or maybe actually give them a civics education? I'm behind a free online basic civics class every 2y that gets you a $250 credit on your taxes or something. There has to be a reason to actually take it and pay attention.
What annoying about this information is that we can't say who did that. Is it Harris to trump or trump to Harris or those who voted for other options.
I want to see searches of "is it too late to cast my vote?"
