One of the main benefits and blessing of the US Constitutional system is that the “inefficient” checks and balances created and inherent in the system minimizes the the abuse of power and arbitrary arbitrary decisions inherent in authoritarian governments. That system of checks and balances insures that our government is required to operate with integrity and democratically for all citizens. It is why so many, if not ALL of the Trump appointed executives who think they are “running” our government have a commonality of person abuses of power and loyalty (obsequiousness) to Trump no matter how harmful or stupid the statement or action of or by Trump might be.

We revolted from the authoritarianism of King George in 1776 and England followed our example by limiting the power of their subsequent Kings. The stupidity of a slight majority of our voters seems to have forgotten what our country’s founders learned and sacrificed to actually “Make Our Country Great.”

The irony of the computer expertise of many of the wealthiest supporters of Trump makes me suspicious that the actual 2024 vote tallies in many states might have been manipulated to corruptly insure Trump’s election.

As the chief Certified Idiot said about the 2000 Presidential election “it was corrupt and stolen” but the Truth may be that the year was wrong and the Stolen Election may have actually been in 2024.

Threads is not a safe App, a very large number of scammers are using this platform, I used it for a very short period and I wish I never did. Lots of losers want to become Millionaires on the expense of women who worked so hard for their money, they think they’re so cute and that gives them the right to manipulate these older, lonely women which make them very vulnerable to these toy boys and believe in their lies and then when they lose their retirement money, hundreds of thousands they even sell their beautiful properties that’s when these losers disappear from the picture because they are done with the poor woman they left her high and dry. There are all kind of scammers who pretend to be Elon Reeve Musk and they talk to you about investing money in Tesla and these guys are so good at what they’re doing that they don’t leave you alone until they convince you and you end up hypnotized after you wake up your account is over $4,000 less than before you talked to the person sometimes of you have the means you’ll lose more than that because of being greedy.

Finally, I am not going to tell you if you should join this platform or not that’s up to you, but all I can tell you always stay alert if it sounds too good to you then there’s something that doesn’t add up there ask questions or the best thing to do is block the person and move on. Good luck.

It took me AGES to find the following feed (the option is shown when you tap the logo on the home page). I would prefer that be default, or at least show the different feed options all the time instead of making users root around in “help” for the answers. I assumed tapping the logo would just refresh the feed like it does everywhere else. It’s not the most intuitive approach. That said, the app is a little better now that I can actually see my friends’ posts. There are still problems, though. I toggled off the political content option, but a LOT of politics from people I’m not following still show up in my “for you” feed. I can’t find a way to disable reposts from showing up in my following feed, even when I search the help page, which defeats the point of me being in the “following” tab—I want to see the posts of people I’m actually following, move reposts to the “for you” or something. To top it off, the let’s say “quality of users” is just as reactionary and inflammatory as those on the OTHER app, so making the switch seems largely irrelevant unless you’re concerned about the other place disappearing. But I give it an extra star because there is at least an option to get out of the general population nonsense.
