This is an interesting inversion of the fascist doctrine that the enemy are both really strong and also really weak. Only here Trump and co are applying to themselves -- they're both super powerful and the only hope and also completely weak and ineffectual and always being led astray by the deep state or poor guidance from their own lawyers.

I wonder if this will work as well on their followers.

The screen on my X just cracked and we’re hoping it holds together long enough to get the new usb-c model. Since we plan on keeping it that long again I’d like to get everything to the same cable.

This makes sense — but if nobody knows it there is lots of room for confusion.

“Boost” seems more like “updoot” than “retweet“. Perhaps more importantly why would one retweet a comment? Rather than a post?
