Breadtube if it didn't suck.

Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.

Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.

There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.

A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.

I feel like he could easily get away with just blustering like this and not lifting a finger to actually act on it and his supporters will still clap like trained seals. They just want to hear their grievances echoed back to them. If he does follow through, they'll cheer; if he doesn't then they'll morshupls about 'muh deep state' or something.

Trump will promise just about anything, but he has very little will to actually pursue policy. Either his base has to actively and repeatedly holler their support for something, like the wall; or some functionary in his administration has to do the work themselves. I don't know about this specifically. Maybe it's one of those things he just says and moves on, maybe this becomes a core policy position. It's really up in the air.

Oh. I'm so sorry. I think I've just lathed the worst outcome: He wins; the media cycle has moved on and nobody in his administration cares about this as a policy goal. Until. The Democrats very publicly and very loudly chastise young and moslem voters for his victory, and point to this specifically. Trump starts talking about it again... I'm sorry.
