This result is so close that it's entirely possible that Trump's "Truth" this morning with his 51st state threat resulted in PP losing his seat.

Took me a while ro figure out what you meant by a "Truth". I'm only just figuring out what "Xcreting" is.

As a Lemmy user, you're probably aware of Mastodon. And, last I heard, "Truth Social" is just running a hacked-up version of Mastodon, but without the federation. So, they really could be called "toots"...

Oh interesting. I suppose anyone could spin up an unfederated Mastodon server.

Wait, did we come all the way here just to return to forums? Even I had my own forum back in the 2000s

Given how the CPC turnout was well above expected nationally, it seems more likely this was a result of the hard work Fanjoy’ team put in there and PP’s natural anti-charisma.
