White House Comments

 This is a video from the White House’s official channel on YouTube and I don’t suggest you spend a second wasting your time watching it, but I do suggest clicking to bring you to YouTube and taking a look at the spread of comments on this, their one video where comments were enabled. YouTube have knocked off many thousands of dislikes in the glorious work of distorting reality, but a look at the comments gives a very vivid and striking picture about how many Americans feel about this unbelievably popular President with his toll of 81 million votes, 12 million more than anyone previously. Who knows, you might even find one of those 81 millions making a comment, but you will have to be prepared to take your time and do an awful lot of looking.

edit: This was such a disaster for all involved that normal service has resumed and all comments are once again disabled, with the many thousands of written ones vanished into the void, and presumably for the foreseeable future things will remain locked down on that front. Which to a degree may be just as well lest anyone imagine there is any sense of engagement with a legitimate political regime here, or that time isn’t better spent elsewhere. So anyway the people had a brief and rare chance to speak on the people’s state apparatus’s official channel, and that was quickly seen as very undesirable. I’ll remove the video as there is no reason whatsoever for it being here now.
