Welcome to The Shitpost Office

Shitposts processed from 9 to 5, with occasional overtime on weekends.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not SinisterTreat others like fellow employees, not enemies in the breakroom.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Respect people’s time and space. We’re here to laugh, not to loathe

Rule 2: No Prohibited PostageSome packages are simply undeliverable. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content
  • NSFW content must be properly tagged

If you see anything that violates these rules, please report it so we can return it to sender. Otherwise? Have fun, be silly, and enjoy the chaos. The office runs best when everyone’s laughing.... or retching over the stench, at least.

Well... not according to the '25 election returns.

But they've accrued a whole lot of very sick-in-the-head GenX / Millennials with the same toxic nostalgia that poisoned the Boomers. What they didn't anticipate was the voter burnout that's plagued Democrats since the 90s coming for their new flaky, disgruntled, hyper-individualist base.

Really? Guess I need to go look at the numbers again. I was told that was the goal behind focusing on podcasts and masculinity influencers.

I think I need to look it up as well but my impressions is that they made huge inroads with Gen Z males but are still underwater with Gen Z as a total. It’s just an outsized impact as younger folk tend to be reliably liberal.

I think the news here is mostly that younger voters (and IIRC hispanics) aren't as dem-leaning as they used to be. IDK how these numbers used to look after previous elections, though, and it's worth remembering that the popular vote was very close. And that Trump bragged about manipulating the election. Doesn't really look like they "secured" any new voter bases to me.
