We don’t learn. Trump is a lolcow. He generates outrage over absurdity to gain media leverage. This recent media cycle is not an accident and I am disappointed that we didn’t learn our lesson the first decade of this.

    No, people didn’t vote for policy here. They voted for a person

    I mean Project 2025 only had a 4% approval (and a 57% disapproval rating) but obviously that wasn’t reflected in how people voted

    People really did believe his lies that he wouldn’t do that kind of stuff

      The lies weren’t new either. If it was ignorance, it was willful ignorance on the part of a majority of American voters, but I don’t give them that much credit. This is who we are apparently.
