You’re gonna have a hard time convincing folks around here that it’s anything other than a conspiracy that the Republicans lost in the midterms. They just do not want to understand how loathsome Trump is to the vast majority of people in this country, so they’ll invent reasons to not face that fact. Or if they do understand how loathsome Trump is to most people, they actually revel in that because deep down they are trolls.
Trump played a lot of people here for suckers and rubes, and it worked! He said what you wanted him to say (even if most of what he says is lies), he was a dick to the people you wanted to be dicks to, and he seemed untouchable because he was such a bully that he was used to getting his way by sheer force of his will. I mean, I’m impressed that he convinced so many people that a venal, vindictive and braggadocious billionaire would somehow help the downtrodden common man. It’d be hilarious if it wasn’t so damn tragic.
In reality, Trump is a failed businessman who was born on home plate, and he has used his vast inherited wealth to skate through life. He bankrupts casinos for Pete’s sake. The list of his sins and lies is truly astonishing. But somehow a good number of you thought this sounded just great.
Eventually, however, the political bill comes due. I for one am not sad to be seeing MAGA go down in flames. It’s a political movement that is antagonistic at its core and really doesn’t have any foundational principles to lean upon other than the accumulation of power.
I’m happy to discuss opposing views, but I’m sure I’ll mostly get flamed to death for posting this. That’s ok, IDGAF.
Why are you here? Sincere question.
