    They got exactly what they fucking bargained for, they made off like bandits with vast sums of wealth for capitalizing on the stupidity of millions of Americans who bought into the Trump “we need a king” grift.

    The only thing that changed is now that the guy has had plenty of chances to deliver his promises to make america “great” again, and didn’t, the people have gotten bored with the narrative, and so the grifters who follow popular sentiment are moving on. That’s all, there’s no regret, there’s no “leopards eating faces” there’s NOTHING FOR US TO BE FUCKING SMUG ABOUT. We are still in real danger of losing rights, benefits and democracy broadly, but now the administration has a greater chance of getting away with it, because the media hosts like Rogan are tuning everyone away from the mess he rode in on.

    I despise this “satisfaction porn” that both sides indulge in within spaces like this. It’s not a good thing that the only people who had access to Trump’s circus are now moving onto cover new things because people are bored with it. It just means now they can do worse things without anyone watching.
