Fascism is a process. It doesn't happen overnight.

Not saying dumpy is outright fascist, but alot of the steps he and the r's exhibit, point that way. But hey, whatever eh.

He's checked every fascist box and every malignant narcissist box. A malignant narcissist is the worst possible type of human being to run a country. The world will suffer, not just Americans. The optimism over his foreign policy is extremely short-sighted and seems to be entirely emotional. As a malignant narcissist, he will satisfy his emotional needs by friendships with dictators and eschewing our allies, who do not respect him. He is as predictable as they get. Chaos is guaranteed. But hedge fund managers are in for a golden age. The rest of us are screwed.

I’m all like not even care at this point about the Trump show. It’s so boring. He has no power right now and his entire hand of cards will change when he gets his power. I want to stay positive for now. Has anyone read Melania autobiography? I read Michelle’s so thinking about reading hers to see how fucked up she is. It’s either that or another fucking rom com. Which one will make me cry more??
Lmao

You hit the nail on the head but I'm not positive at all. I was dreaming of not having Trump stories in the news. Now there are more than ever and he has an insatiable appetite for attention. I gloss over the Trump headlines and watch SNL and late-night comedy for news now. I'm worn out, exhausted. I'm not going down without a fight though. But I can take a long break.

100% agree on the Trump headlines fatigue. Was really hoping the election would end it. Now 4 more f'n years of this clown and his circus. What electorate votes for a convicted criminal, serial assaulter? Hope people learn something from it, but I'm not counting on it.

It wasn't just Trump the majority voted for . They voted against the present Democratic Party .

I would like some clarification when people say that. What exactly are they against? If people want change, what do they specifically want changed, from what to what? What is their idea of freedom?

I don't think the average voter even knows how a democracy is supposed to work. They might find out how autocracy works instead. Even if he doesn't attempt a coup, by the looks of his cabinet picks, he's gonna attempt to gut some important cogs in the wheels of government. Then his mass deportation and sweeping tariffs will make a bigger mess, not to mention cost people alot more, if they have the funds to pay.

Right-wing news isn't very educational so I suppose that may be a factor in fooling people to vote for him too.
