Edit: Just to clarify, my stance here is not “ignore everything Trump.” He has done and will do quite a lot of things that warrant attention and concern. He’s also a serial liar and world class bullshitter. A human testament to the phrase, “actions speak louder than words.” Donald Trump’s political success has always hinged on the fact that people are quick to forget that. He’s already working overtime to distract from the fact that the majority of his campaign promises were just lies and the sooner he can make the people who voted for him forget all the pie in the sky shit they were promised, the better.
If his past performance + Project 2025 + Musk haven’t combined to convince you that the first win was a surprise to everyone and his handlers are far more ready this time around, you are as deluded as those who voted for him.
Democrats spent four years trying not to piss off R too much by doing anything about Jan 06 (among other things), then 2 months trying to woo R votes
R spent four years getting ready for this, and are ready to tear shit down. Shit will go downhill rapidly after Jan 20.
He’s worthy of our attention. Stupid and assholish or not, he’s literally the most powerful man on the planet (aside from Elon Musk) right now.
Infighting among all those trying to deploy him as their personal attack dog is about the most hopeful thing we have right now.–
I agree. But that’s not what the press is reporting on, is it?
They’ll give him all the attention in the world. For the wrong reasons.
Ah fair point!
What he and guys administration does is newsworthy. What he says is really not, outside of the extremes.
That’s stupid.
