    “Donald Trump appealing to these people in his second week, when we’re not talking about the economy, we’re not talking about any of that,” he complained. “We’re talking about DEI and he [Trump] had no evidence and people are out there defending it.”

    It’s not as though he couldn’t have learned his lesson from orange man’s first term, because there was not a single sign of racism then. /s

    It’s probably pretty safe to assume that neither trump, nor anyone in his administration has a single shit to give now that he is firmly entrenched untouchably within the white house.

    Um, no SHIT, Einstein. That’s the fucking point. Even if you think you are one of the “good ones”, that won’t last very long. These motherfuckers are going to first enrich themselves, and whip up a lot of hatred against the other as smokescreen. If they don’t unleash their hateful base in pogroms on everyone else eventually, that is likely the best scenario. Meanwhile, the point of the con agenda is to scapegoat lots of people to get just enough stupid people to vote for them…and then loot the government as much as possible.

    This is about the feels of entitled extremist rightwing cishet white xtian rich males. Everyone else can take a flying leap, in the long run.

    By the way, and for no reason at all, I’ll point out that there was literally a “Jews for Hitler” in Germany once, too…

    “We want to support you because we believe in what you’re doing and when you get out here and do this stuff around, DEI, knowing that this support that he’s gotten from Black people, this uptick, it’s not permanent!”

    He got into office, which is all he wanted. He has four years to consolidate the dictatorship, be doesn’t need you anymore.

    That was the literal plan the entire time and it was clearly outlined to happen. Stop being stupid

      I’m with you. We all knew this would happen because were all politically engaged and moderately informed. Your average person isn’t. And the media does this on purpose. And yes it is definitely cathartic to point laugh and ridicule them for their obvious ignorance. I wish we could figure out a way to break through that ignorance. We’d be doing ourselves a lot more good than catharsis.

        Same. It’s been this slow walk into 2025, listening to people in man on the street interview and seeing polls on sentiments and so on, and now this.

        It hasn’t even been two weeks and you see videos of the average donvict supporter doing videos (like that one mother that went viral about her benefits being cut off) about how they cannot believe they voted for this (but they did, they just weren’t paying any attention to what the Republicans are really about).

        It’s infuriating. I also cannot help but wonder - even if this country survives the next four years under these monsters - will any of the voters that voted for donvict, or stayed home/protest voted because “bothsides” - will any of them learn any lessons and never vote for a Republican, ever? And make sure they vote for Democrats?

        GOP strategist and member of Black Americans for Trump Coalition

        I would expect someone like this to be politically informed. I think it’s fair to say to this person “Stop being stupid”.

          Yes that’s probably fair. They would have to be willfully ignorant at that point I would think.

    Should have known that leopard was gonna eat your face. The schadenfreude will be the only enjoyable part of the next four years.
