The former president’s apparent decision to skip the first debate is a major affront both to the Republican National Committee and to Fox News, which is hosting the event.

      Maybe you’re a republican, but google somehow figured it out before you did?

        YouTube thinks I’m far right because I watch videos related to some of my hobbies, which happen to be dominated by far right morons.

          Same here. Also live in a red state. I mostly have hobbies on my recommendations I try hard to keep politics off my algorithms cause it can be a black hole and take over everything.

            Don’t forget us about us left wing farmers/hunters/outdoorsmen and shooting enthusiasts! I keep the majority of my hillbilly hobby to IRL only as the algorithms quickly follow the chain of gun owner -> gun nut -> far right -> conspiracy theorist and Trump fan

              Yeah that’s what gets me all the right wing nonsense. I love fishing, hunting, driving trails (usually to a fishing spot), and the outdoors generally. Apparently that means I’ll love outright hateful content and Jesus.

            I’d not heard of Star Trek. How the fuck can someone be right wing and watch Star Trek and go “yeah that represents my views”?

              You’d be surprised at the amount of “Star Trek has gone WOKE/SJW” content on the internet. Yeah it doesn’t make sense to me either.

                My brain just had a momentary blue screen crash reading that.

                Yeah Star Trek, the show to have literally the first interracial kiss on TV, with shatner intentionally sabotaging the take with the white actress to keep the other take in, and has one of the most diverse casts ever for a TV show, has only NOW gone woke. /roll eyes. Fucking maroons.
