JFC is their moto seriously "The people voted for major reform"? First, they barely won and are acting like there was some monumental landslide victory.
Second, none of what they're doing is actually what they campaigned on. Trump actually tried to distance himself as much as possible from Project 2025 during the campaign.
It doesn't help that the Dems are continuing to act like it was a major victory, and that they are so weak and powerless to do anything.
Don't be ignorant. Dems were on the same side. She quit so fast after the election counters were cracked that it was obvious she was already bought the fuck out.
He campaigned for "I will fix everything on day one" and gave zero details, so if you voted for that I have a bridge to sell you. It was obvious, painfully obvious, that project 2025 was their program and since it had more that 3 pages and no pictures, trump didn't understand it.
Trump was caught on thousands of lies already, from crowd sizes, to cat eating, to covid curing, to sexual assault, to taxes, to hurricane paths, to state secrets, to election results. People knew VERY WELL what they were getting with him. This is no surprise. They voted exactly for this.
About the result, I'm going to have to quote fast an furious here, doesn't matter if by an inch or a mile...
Besides, polls indicate that he is at his highest EVER approval rating. Not only people voted for this, they are actually enjoying this. Yes, you and me see where this is going, but the average voter still thinks that this is fine. Americans are dumb as fuck and (at least in Europe) the relationship has been damaged for generations. I was super supportive the first Trump admin and I thought the people learned their lesson, but apparently it just took the billionaires fucking up egg prices for people to shoot themselves in the floor with a cannon.
There will be lots of pikachu faces just before leopards eat them and at this point I can't help but shrug. I don't think "I told you so" helps, but it's all i have.
All he cares about is getting revenge and eating hamburders he's letting everyone else do whatever the fuck they want.
As everyone expected.
Fascists lie about everything. If a fascist ever tells the truth, it's either a mistake or a coincidence that conveniently aligns with their propaganda and goals.
That's just how fascism is, and always will be.
2/3 voting age Americans did not vote for this. That's a fact.
They should have voted to prevent this, but only half of them did. They other half lived through the first Trump admin and decided that it was not worth a few minutes of their time to prevent it. They didn't have to cross an ocean or fight a war... they needed to visit a website to get registered and the mail a form (or stand in line for a while) to vote, and they didn't.
In other words, only 1/3 of Americans voted against this.
Musk cracked the counters. Trump candidly admited to exactly that about 53m into one of his "inauguration" speels.
Voter turnout was 64% which means 36% of Americans didn't give enough of a shit to vote. Combine that with those who did vote for Trump and yeah, more than 2/3rds of Americans may as well have voted for it
Edit: the distinction may not matter to you but it does to the countries your country is fucking over
A large part of voting age Americans didn't care enough either way.
I hope they all suffer for it. I hope they cry.
Is this horseshoe theory? lol
This is "angry people can become malicious no matter what they believe in"-theory.
