      Nah, the mainstream media will just stop reporting on him, the social media algorithms will be tweaked to hide him, and when it comes to the election, people will go “Ugh, who is that Muslim sounding guy? I’m voting for Barron Trump.”

            Two US Democratic state* senators from Minnesota were just assassinated by a MAGAt impersonating a cop who carried with him a hit list of 50 other senators he was going to kill. This is not outside the realm of possibilities in this day and age.

              Two US Democratic senators were just assassinated

              Which Senators?

              Edit: Looked it up, appears to be State Rep. Hortman (was confused as ‘US Senator’ means Senator to the federal Senate, not state-level House representative). Can’t find a second assassination though.

                You have Donald Trump as a president and masked goons snatching people off the streets.

                You’re right it’s changing, and it’s not for the better.
