Anyone remember how the NJP/TRS leadership spent months slandering and badjacketing me because I encouraged people to spread our ideas on social media? They said all online media is a waste of time, especially if it does not directly funnel people to their party, which was on its way to taking over America.

Wait... Never got off the ground? I thought NJP was only kept from power because Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, myself and the entire political establishment conspired to hide their incredible success? I heard their leadership is also now saying they want to start using social media to reach out to Zoomers, lol.
You have to wonder who would still give these people money after all this.
