And when do you think he started to know what he was doing? 2017, 2018, 2019, never? If not in any of these years, then why would he know it in 2025?

It isn't November 2016 anymore. Trump has been president before and whatever you think of his first term, you already know (roughly) what tends to happen when he is president (if you are too young, there is a near-infinite amount of news articles, social media discussions, wiki articles where you can look it up). I somewhat understood fears like this in late 2016 when a Trump administration was an unprecedented phenomenon, but now?

no, just like we didn't (and still don't) call what was happening a few years ago "the first COVID-19 pandemic"

Wasn't that entire page, including sidebars and footer and such, only the letter "A" repeated in the mid-to-late 2000s? Wikis really are a declining medium.

Look at only communities you're subscribed to, and unsubscribe from all where talking about the topics you don't like is allowed.

I follow several news organizations, bloggers, activists there. For example you can get Linux news from https://techhub.social/@LinuxToday or posts from Richard Stallman's blog at https://mastodon.xyz/@rms or the EFF is https://mastodon.social/@eff – of course those aren't the only accounts I follow, just a sample of ones you might be interested in that have recently posted things.

You can also follow hashtags on Mastodon, that sometimes helps me find accounts to follow. Recently I have however been unfollowing more accounts than I've been newly following because my feed was getting spammed with too many things that I didn't find very relevant.

ETA: you can also follow https://social.growyourown.services/@FediFollows if you are very desperate for random suggestions for things you could follow

Nothing will stop that, not even an explicit statement that something is intended as a joke.

In other news, water is wet

Because the world is full of contradictions

No. The articles are written by volunteers and will not be improved by your donation.

In theory, your donation does keep the servers running, but they have plenty of money to do that, and most of the money nowadays goes to paying way too many employees many of whom don't do anything very useful or important.

If I find the headline interesting, I might read the article if I have enough time.

Before I comment on things, I do at the very least skim them to confirm that I'm commenting on what the article actually says, not just the headline.
