Don’t CW this. I beg you.
My wife is on Instagram. She just did this.
She heard there was weird stuff happening. She searched “#Republican” and “#Democrat”.She had to do it herself to see if it was true.
It is.
She is beside herself.
This is the 2025 version of marching into CNN and telling them to broadcast only his stuff.
This is him taking over the NYT.
This is new age Oligarchy. This is Authoritarianism. This is Fascism2025.
Edit: we’re in Canada, so this is worldwide? Or NA?
-
@chris absolutely insane - watching fascism enact in real time - fascinating and terrifying
-
@MatWright I didn’t think I could be surprised or shocked today. This shocked me.

@chris Curious if others will try this and post their results and see how widespread it is

@paul she saw it from someone else randomly on Instagram, so it’s making the rounds.

@chris No, I mean I hope people reading your post that have IG will try and see what they get and post so we can see how widespread it is. Didn't mean to imply lack of belief, etc.

@WmShakesp3are @paul typo on my part, the screenshot shows she used no s “democrat” and “republican”. So perhaps it’s not 100% coverage, yet?

@chris Cool. My tone is off today so things could be taken anyway after spending most of it neck high in BS overload from all angles due to swearing at the swearing in and the ones reporting on the swearing in.. lol.

@chris That ditto brings me to a funny story on this gloomy day.
In our household, we spell it "did oh" instead of ditto
For years, my wife and I say, 'ditto' after the scene in the movie Ghost in texts for "love you"
For whatever reason, auto spell on the old early 2000 era phones qwerty keyboards always failed with ditto so we started typing 'did oh' instead. lol

I've just try it, it's the same here in New Caledonia. The shitfuckery is global.
I'm planning going out of instagram, probably going to make y own Pixelfed server. -
@chris OMG. Just confirmed this myself. I knew things would get bad but I didn't think they would be so blatant.
(I know I should delete my IG account but so far I just never use it except to look up things like this.)
Searching #republican got a bunch of hits.
Searching #democrat got no results.
Searching #postcardstovoters (which supports Democrat candidates) got no results.
Going to an old post of my own and clicking on #postcardstovoters shows results, which shows the hashtag exists.

@nicolas_rinck there is about to be even more of a mass exodus.

@chris tested with my partner, same results, in Quebec, Canada.

@paul @chris Had to see it for myself.
