    I cannot imagine being such a dimwit as to be one of the people just now waking up to this.

    I mean…did these people really not see his first term? Did they really think that the only reason he failed in his first term was because of Covid?

      A majority of Americans polled in the survey – 58% – characterized Trump’s first year of his second term as a “failure,” according to the poll.

      Just 42% of respondents said Trump’s second term has been a success.

      Imagine how dim the 42% must be.

      The people who support Trump after even 2018 are literally so cognitively disabled, I would genuinely submit for consideration that those people are as true to NPCs as possible.

      Your average cockroach is more capable of self reflection and complex critical thinking than your average Trump supporter.

      Bacertia is a better candidate for holding its own personal, and expansive personal thoughts than a Trump supporter.

      ChatGPT is more capable of hallucinating genuine human empathy and emotional intelligence than a Trump supporter.

      Cosmic background radiation is more grounded to Earth than a Trump supporter.

      These people are simply stupid beyond repair and shouldn’t be respected as equals in any capacity.

        i wonder if you are aware that you are brainwashing yourself. it’s okay to cope, we all have to do it these days, but its best kept to yourself where it causes less secondary harm.

          The only people brainwashing themselves are those so fucking stupid they think people who’ve gleefully supported Nazism for over 10 years now don’t explicitly and knowingly support autocracy and genocide.

          Maybe stop coping and pretending these assholes can be redeemed in any way and aren anything but a hostile enemy that’d see you and everyone like you die, and are currently making big strides to seeing that through.

          The left loses when we constantly shoot our own balls off and attempt empathy and understanding to these sadistic sociopaths who’ve only ever demonstrated doubling down in that direction.

          So get with reality or sit down and shut the fuck up, because people like you hold all real progress back. Stop cucking yourself to Nazis.

      Im in Canada and have friends who believed his second term would be mostly as feckless as his first.

      They didn’t understand how project 2025 meant he was going to be coming out of the gate with someone else’s agenda with all of the key players, including scotus in his back pocket. It all lined up to mean shit was going to go down fast and hard.

      Look where we are one year in. 3 more years to subvert or nullify the next election.
