World's on a far-right swing again rn. It's over for us

Seems like everyone has to learn the hard way, or maybe most people really are just stupid and gullible, we're cooked either way.

Hitler's in hell twerking his sh***y Buss* with excitement. His minions are doing his dirty work.

I am Romanian and it’s crazy what is happening right now. This candidate came on top as a surprise, especially because he was not promoted by the media and he was not doing well in the polls. He bought a lot of bots on tiktok which fooled the people into voting for him. But I think an investigation or something will follow because this is a nightmare.

 

I am hoping that the candidate I voted for goes into the second round of the presidential vote, though I am not sure she is strong enough to win against this flop.

Unexpected how? Europe is a cesspool.

Romania needs to elect a politician that's gonna bring them back to Eurovision, not to bring them backwards to 1941

So are his votes legit or is it speculated that he somehow rigged the results? Bots or not, if ppl went out and voted for him, I don't see how his qualification can get annulled. Unfortunately.

I think this just shows that legacy mainstream media is on its last legs. Social media is the new king based on how he is performing

That's exactly how Milei won in my country, and it is indeed a nightmare. Be strong Romania, I hope he doesn't win.

Tiktok/social media influencing in favour of rightwing politics?

I'm not saying it's solely because of it. But it's been always at the scenes of the crimes now.

I have no words. Tik tok is literally ruining societies, media illiteracy is at a scarily all-time high. Everywhere.
