THE re-election of Trump is definitely the internet’s fault in a way that has yet to be specified, everyone has agreed.
In the absence of any other plausible explanations for why a rambling septuagenarian with no real campaign or beliefs and a terrible record won an election in a landslide, the blame has fallen squarely on the internet.
Jordan Gardner of Gravesend said: “Maybe the online manosphere radicalised Gen Z voters and sent them out to cast Trump ballots for the lolz?
“I mean I don’t really know what most of those words mean, but they’re definitely internet-connected. And when something goes completely mental, crashes and never works properly again, experience tells me that’s the internet.”
Hannah Tomlinson of Cardiff agreed: “Trump’s an arsehole, social media’s full of arseholes, that’s not just coincidence. Elon Musk bought Twitter, that’s probably important. Jeff Bezos is Qanon? I’m just throwing words out here.
“Anyway, I’ll leave it to the clever bastards in the future to work out exactly how the internet’s caused this bloody disaster. All I know is that Tim Berners-Lee can f**k off.”
