It turns out you can’t post Malfoids and Anakin when diesel is $6 a gallon and expect America to vote for you.

Many right-wing personalities went into Tuesday somehow expecting to win despite a disastrous war, a disastrous economy, disastrous polls, and a doddering president whose closing argument seemed to be more about his ballrooms, golf courses, and the Reflecting Pool than anything else.

Since Trump was re-elected, these same people have called everyone else out of touch, convinced by their X algorithm and prediction markets that no blue wave would materialize. The media has similarly spent many thousands of words suggesting that Bluesky is an out-of-touch leftist echo chamber while mostly failing to suggest anything of the sort about the AI-pilled Silicon Valley executives, bots, and racists shitposting on X.

Tuesday’s election wipeout highlights how detached from reality the Malfoid/Anakin-shipping, X-brained billionaires and their acolytes have actually become.

      Once Malfoy realizes it’s okay to live as herself, she has an entire change of personality and is rehoused into Hufflepuff, and it turns out she’s actually very sweet and caring when her true self shines through! She was just carrying all that pain for so long from trying to live up to her parents’ expectations.
