We knew that the media and the mega donors of the party would rally around whoever replaced Joe at the top of the ticket. There will also be a bump in Dem poll numbers. Count on it…don’t be surprised. These are iron laws of American politics.
IF the news cycle calms down - and that’s a big IF! - we will slowly see a return to the mean over the next few weeks.

I haven’t seen one person from the right freak out.
I’ve seen ppl on the left saying the right is freaking out and making none stop videos about it. Yet, never including anyone on the right actually freaking out…seems like the left is freaking out bc the right hasn’t really reacted.

Trump is suddenly going scorched earth. Who gives a crap about ABC News and George Snuffleufugus?
Stay calm and confident, and continue to play the humility card. It’s heels up. All he has to do is stay low and remain calm

Since Elon took the democrat blinders off X has been a total shite show, but it's addictive.
One thing it's shown, we have some real idiots running our country.

It’s the age we live in now:
Constant instant “breaking stories” and resulting instant reaction courtesy social media
24 hour “news”/spin channels - mainly there to drive narratives and public opinion instead of simply reporting news.
Government that is anything but transparent and by its own secrecy and silence (most everything is hidden behind “national security!” nowadays) leaves a void to be filled in with speculation and innuendo by a public that otherwise has no idea what’s truly going on.
It results in what we see and live in now.
Just 10 days ago, there was an assassination attempt. A major story in any time or era. Now, that’s already been pushed aside by a sitting president who resigns via a social media post and has pretty much been incognito since. The party who was hand-wringing over losing power now suddenly within 24 hours is supposedly bringing in record donations and feeling great because of a groundswell of excitement over a Veep who has generally been unliked and considered underwhelming in every way just two days before…..
It’s all batshite crazy.
And yes, people should just chill but that’s not how this wacky society works anymore.

First, Kamala did not raise that much real money in 24 hours LOL
This. I guarantee over 3/4 of what she raised is probably the funds from Biden’s campaign being transferred over to her campaign.
