    I take absolutely no comfort in the fact that such an incompetent, stupid, harmful man has been made one of the most powerful people in the world. Twice.

    Edit: Don’t get me wrong, if his “inevitable self-destruction” only affected himself that’d be one thing, but he’s done and is going to continue to do a lot of damage. We’ve got dumb cunt politicians over here in Australia who think he’s amazing and are trying to set up their own version of DOGE while government jobs are being destroyed daily. We’ve still got antivax protests flying Trump campaign flags, and I used to work security in a building with a local right-wing politician’s office who had a framed Trump flag on the wall. Trump, the people controlling him and the people enabling him are doing so much damage to everything that no, it’s no comfort at all.

    The problem with this term is that he was handed a playbook to dismantle our democracy, so he doesn’t need to push his own agenda, he just needs to follow a script. If it was his own agenda, I don’t think it would be as effective.

      The problem is that he devout followers are barely phased. He’ll leave a power vacuum, but his followers are still losers.

      Cool so, what’s the plan?

      Pistolas at dawn? Knocking over King’s Liquors? That . . thing where everyone paints their face and dances like . . . Y’know all whoopy?

      Oh, or are you thinking more like: malware memecoin, then leverage the take to buy a bunch of bulldozers and level the rnc building?

      Quit holdin out!
