Trump is "nuts"?
Is anyone supposed to be surprised with that revelation?
Didn't everyone know that before he was ever sworn into office?
Isn't that a fine silk suit he is wearing?
"The King has no clothes", you say.
It seemed so obvious.

(54,027 posts)The fact that he increase his vote share after four years of gross mismanagement is a complete condemnation of America, not just the corrupt and malicious fools who run the Republican Party. The fact that the bare half dozen of Republican members of Congress who dare speak out against Trumpism have quickly become pariahs is an indictment of human character.
I genuinely worry America has gotten simply too big to be a true democracy.

If he is healthy and not in jail, he WILL win their nomination for 2024 and it will once again be a nail biter.
I know SO many otherwise decent and good people who vote R, but end of the day, it is a conscious decision to buy into their bullshit.

(63,221 posts)he is six-feet under. Living with the stress of him still being a potential candidate, and therefore President once again is traumatizing.
I will not breathe a sigh of relief until the man is stone-cold dead.
We can be a better state, after enforcements of monopoly laws, Sherman antitrust Act.
Break up the big boys club, again.

(15,242 posts)If that had happened there is a good chance he would have attacked her. I doubt anything she might have said or done would have changed the outcome. Trump plays the role of a Professional Wrestling Promoter negative attention is still attention.

(205,540 posts)And that was so creepy that it was painful to watch - and people tend to forget that she did get a few million more votes, even if he cheated. And shouldn't the winner be the one who the most people vote for??

(63,221 posts)I hate him more with each passing day. More than anything, I want to see him ruined, publicly humiliated and eventually suffer a long, painful death.
And mostly, I just want him gone from this earth so that we never have to hear from or about him again. Or his dim-witted, grifting, feckless spawn.

(5,403 posts)But the big concern is, why did normal, sane people follow him, think he was a good idea, and then voted for him?
Trump isn't the only nutcase, it seems. There are millions of them!

(9,076 posts)The media would tell us about what the actress was wearing.
Oh. That thing that happened during? Yeah, that was there, too.
The MSM propped that fucker up. And what, I'm supposed to cheer they're knocking him now? Nah, fuck those people.

(42,770 posts)People kept thinking, okay, when he becomes this or when this happens or when that happens he's going to start being presidental.
But the magnitude of it all, how dangerous he became, is extremely astounding! On CNN last night they showed a comment.. Nancy Pelosi asking Milley about her fear that he could start a nuclear war. That is the ultimate.

They kept defending Trump under all circumstances and kept feeding the political slop to his followers, instead of reporting something that resembled the truth.
Their wide range of viewership helped to create the cult, that remain complicit in it all.

(28,866 posts)Certain people and the media just chose to ignore it
or not see it, both sides it, or explain it away with
stupid logic because they liked his nazi racism.
The both sides part was the most pernicious in my
view.

They have nowhere else to go.

(28,799 posts)They can join the reality-based world. They can try to recover their humanity and caring. They can acknowledge that their party is GONE, and get the fuck out of it. But the propaganda keeps pounding at their brains so they go with, "yeah, he's a nut, but he's our nut," and the world goes to hell.
it's so frustrating.
