Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

To own the libs, they sold their soul.
When you realize memes shouldn't have influence on your voting decision...
Bloody hell, this is the US version of Brexit... this world would be such a better place if people just did the bare minimum of reading into what they were actually voting for before they fucking voted!
Also, seeing the other top searches being about the tariffs would have me creasing if it weren't so disappointingly stupid that these peoole seemingly knew nothing about Trumps most advertised economic policy before (assumably) voting for him
Whenever I see all the trash on the side of the road, I know why the world is that way.

"Somebody shit in my pants."
The relative numbers are worth little without knowing the underlying numbers. If it went from 100 to 700 people, that is still negligble. Also crazy how people immediately take that as a base to remove voters rights unless they pass some sort of test. Nothing could go wrong with stripping voters rights amirite?
For all future elections I suggest we have one voter - me. I promise to deliver the optimally democratic outcome.
Ah, the Vetinari principle. One man, one vote.
Vetinari is that man, and he has that vote.

Post election searches are the best:
"What is the EU?"
"What is Brexit?"
Of course, let's not let things like knowledge or consequences get in the way of reactionary & spiteful arrogance informed only by propaganda induced fear and hate, emotions know to prevent rational thought /s

The article claims "in droves" then doesn't give a number, or even an estimate.
Yeah, because google is vague.
Not sure what "100" means, but that's what it peaked at.
Here are a couple comparisons that maybe give it more relevance:
That is a percentage score. So you take the highest level of searches and it will always be 100% and all lesser scores are in comparison to that score of 100(%). If you can find out what the actual number of searches are for that one score, you can derive the approximate number of searches in the other places. It shows an informational tool tip on desktop.

Is this the "Find out" stage then?
Actions have consequences. Sad people had to figure it out this way.

"How to unsink the Titanic"
God I fucking hate humans
Once again, these are the a validation headlines that create and support echo chambers. Honestly, what does it matter now?
We already know the regret is strong on this nation and will only get worse.
How are people this stupid?something in the water?
Lead... I'm not kidding.
Don't forget pesticide exposure which eventually has similar effects to lead over time: decreased intelligence and increased aggression
Some 'murican cities are unironically trying to get rid of fluoride from water. You know, the thing that also goes in toothpaste and is overall good for keeping teeth healthy
RFK Jr, who is likely to be our new head of health and human services, wants to ban it nationally.

The republican anti-education campaign bears fruit I see.
I don’t know how trustworthy these search trends are. For example if you type in “where did I put my” it will complete all kinds of stuff like “keys” and “wallet” and “passport” which seems to imply that people are regularly asking Google where they placed items in their own house.
The searches spike after every election and this one was no different than any other year.
Compared to shrimp scampi, an example search I stole from another thread on this topic, it's pretty clear the searches are meaningless and not tied to this particular result.

This is all bullshit, designed to start another wave of outrage. Even after the election, we've gotta have more stuff to rage about. News these days is just rage all day every day, no matter what.
I've said it the whole election cycle. The news downplayed every Trump gaffe because they wanted him back to fuel the outrage click machine. They wanted that sweet revenue back after 4 boring years of Biden just ya know doing his fucking job.
I had to have new anxiety meds called in because all of the political stuff is sending me into panic attacks. I've been avoiding politics as much as possible since the day after the election because it causes so much anxiety.
Why are you here then
This post caught my attention and decided to look at it despite my anxiety
I love it. America’s last hope and people failed. Fuck this place. Let the civil war begin.
Something is seriously wrong with civics education in this country. People in power have no incentive to fix it. At least naturalized citizens have to take a fairly stringent test.
I wonder how many of these people are just now realizing that they have immediate family and friends who won’t be here next Christmas.

What ya'll upset for now? The economy was so good under Trump! Didn't you want him to deport all those "poisonous" immigrants. He's your retribution. And, besides, it's not like Harris would have been any better, because they're the same anyway.
/s
Considering all of the shocking things Trump promised to do once he was elected, people are re-evaluating what they have gotten themselves into.
Sigh...
