It’s always so sad and absurdly funny at the same time that real people think like this. I can’t help but laugh and then just rethink about my life yet again.
Willful ignorance is a powerful tool to wield for dictatorships. What part of the Project 2025 instruction manual for the destruction of democracy mentioned anything about a "fine tooth comb" method for this change?
It's hardly willful. The media machine that got Trump through the door has been a hundred billion dollar multi-generational campaign dating back to the Nixon Administration.
Roger Ailes, Paul Weyrich, and James Dobson dedicated their collective careers to guaranteeing a large section of the US population would be deluged with fascist propaganda. And Sheldon Adelson, Robert Mercer, the Koch Family, the Ford Family, the hiers to the Hoover Institute, and a few dozen other riechwing billionaires financed their efforts.
This isn't just dumb people all stupidly flipping the Trump switch by coincidence. It's the product of sustained industrial tier media manipulation by people whose personal fortunes are predicated on misinformation.

It's wild watching people who don't consider themselves fascist kind of just cheering for it, because as with everything our government does, 50% don't care how cruel it is as long as said cruelty is pointed in the right direction. (Or what they think is the right direction.)
Fuck this guy. Fuck his friends, fuck all of his family members who haven't disowned him yet, fuck anybody who looks like him. Fuck everything about him.
This piece of shit voted for this, and now is upset simply because his livelihood is affected. No lessons were learnt. No lessons will ever be learned. He is but a symptom of the cancerous rot at the core of our so-called Democracy.
Edit: Fuck any fucking cowards who downvote this without providing a response as to why they disagree.
I only downvoted because of the "fuck anybody who looks like him" (and am only saying this because you asked people to tell you). Otherwise, I totally agree with the sentiment! People who never learn their lesson are the most frustrating

"Government should be run as a business" means everybody has to do as you say because you're the boss.
”Government should be run as a business” means people are getting fired just so the top can buy more yachts for themselves.
You just love to see it.
You think he would vote for Trump again? Or did he learn from this?
If we ever have a vote again. Yeah. 100% because he'll once again think the GOP is just so great on the economy. DOW is down 750 points at the moment if anyone is wondering how absolute chaos effects the stock market.
Haven’t seen a more apt example of a face eaten by a leopard in quite a while. This is about as cut-and-dry as it gets.
"I didn't think that the leopards would eat MY face" - says the person who voted for the Leopards Eating Faces party

Why people regard Trump as good businessman? Bunch of his shit went bankrupt because he's so "excellent". Same as with Elon. Everyone treats him as genius. He's a moron who hires actual smart people and then take credit for their work. And everything is always ultra late, over budget or never materialized. And now these two bozos work together to "fix" US government that has been functioning perfectly well for 300+ years.

It is called "coping". At the back of their minds, they know they got it wrong but are too proud to admit it. So, they double down instead and engaging in sunk cost fallacy.
