  • This article is giving them too much credit, frankly. Saying Republican support dropped from “majority to minority” is misleading, bordering on clickbait.

    All that happened was support dropped from 55% to 46%. They were only ever barely a majority.

    Saying “Nearly half” or “over half” of all Republicans don’t support gay marriage is splitting hairs. They all support the candidates that are against it.

    The real story here is that even support among Democrats and Independents dropped a bit in the last 2 years. Meaning the fear mongering is pervasive enough to affect everyone.


  • You can see their strategy at work here.

    It is possible to keep individual files on the local hard drive with different settings (that in my experience never seem to stick past updates).

    The default, though, is to take everything on your computer off of your computer, put it into the cloud (their computer), and recommend you pick and choose which ones stay on your computer. In essence, they want you to think of your computer as secondary to their computer. An extension of it.

    There is no “your computer”, it’s just the computer you happen to be logged into at the moment.

    The cloud is not something you take advantage of, the cloud is where you live now.
