    Everyone somehow completely forgot about the four year dumpster fire we had. All the news acts like he’s an unknown. It’s ridiculous.

      They’re still hoping he’s playing 4D chess, not wrecking the country.

        He may be playing on a 4d chess board but he’s still a pigeon kicking things around and shitting on the board

      A lot of these yahoos get their news from places that don’t report on what a s***** job he did before and how badly he screwed us over. They still think that he is the greatest thing since the wheel and that he is their savior come to make everything all better.

        We kinda fucked up electing Biden… If it would have been 8 years of straight Trump he would be decaying on a pike right now.

          honestly you aren’t wrong, but i know that i personally thought that once we got someone “normal” back in charge, people wouldn’t want to go through that ever again and Trump would be lost to history. I’m still a little shell shocked that this is our reality instead

            Same. I didn’t expect Kamala to lose. I thought it would be close, but even losing the popular vote? I would have thought the Tweeting trauma from his first term would have been enough to stop people from voting. Just constant drama, nonstop national anxiety, plus add in the known quantity that was project 2025… In fact I believed that so much that I put some money on Kamala to win and hedged it with Trump to win, but lose popular vote (which was an insane 2.5x payout)…

            Yeah, maybe Musk did rig the election… But even if he did, way too many people still naturally voted for Trump. 36.5% of people voted him in MA… The most liberal state most people think of. That’s just crazy to me.
