He'd probably do something similar on day 1 while at the same time starting to recuperate the action politically, and after a few days just go into full conspiracy or similar mode

Disneyland is a good comparison for some Americans: imagine having to drive to each ride and restaurant

I'm just an outsider, but it seems to me that in 2016, many people on the left/anarchist /socialist/liberal whatever weren't enthusiastic about Clinton and didn't vote or voted third party. This led to Trump winning and subsequently nominate enough Supreme Court justices to set back abortion rights 50 years among many other things that probably are worse than whatever Clinton could have done.

You can express your preferences in primaries, local elections, in movements to change voting laws, but once candidates in a first past the post system are locked in, it's intentional ignorance to pretend like it won't be one of the two major party candidates that will win, and not voting for one helps the other one. If you're okay with that, fine, but don't pretend that not voting is a neutral act. You're giving away your voice to whoever is voting one of the two major candidates, and I assure you the right does not care about their candidate's past or unsavory aspects.

You can of course always be skeptic, but that doesn't mean it's wrong. I would argue most opinions shared by nearly everyone are probably valid.

And to add a platitude: “Any idiot can build a bridge that stands, but it takes an engineer to build a bridge that barely stands.”

The paleontologist reconstruction does better match the deadliness of a hippo, much more so than real life does.

Then pay for the software?

I mean, just change apps at that point? There's no lock-in, worst case you lose what you paid to remove ads. No point getting worked up over hypothetical scenarios

What can be claimed without evidence can be dismissed without evidence, and extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence to boot. I have a very hard time believing any of this mess.
