      It’s kind of like an older sibling that picks on you but loses their shit if someone else tries to.

      The magic of mass media.

      Trump goes on TV Friday and announces he’s going to end Far Left Immigrant support by Monday. Then he goes on TV Monday and says he fixed it. Folks watching TV just assume its true, because nobody else on the TV is arguing otherwise.

      If history is anything to go by, especially recent history, then the plan is a convoluted web of “looking shocked” then some serious “doing nothing about it”.
      After being called out about being lazy and complacent they’ll mention about doing some useless shit such as peaceful protests etc etc but then they will do more nothing.

      In a few years time the rest of the world will be laughing at how easily a failed ‘business’ ‘man’ and reality TV ‘star’ who was also a successful racist, paedo, convicted rapist, con man and 34 times felon took over the whole country in just a few months without a much of a fucking whimper from the populace. Pathetic, really.

      Edit:
      I put the man part of business man in quotes due to him being shit at business and shit at being a man.
