If Trump was intelligent, he would see that this is what Orbans strategy resulted in.
But he cant see past his own reflection. He will continue trying to implement Hungary style fascism.
Americans will have to unite against it.

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?”

raudssus.bsky.social•45 days ago

Americans don't give a shit about their own. Which was kinda obvious, 100000 Americans die every year cause of their politics, so unnecessary deaths. Trump killed 200000 Americans with covid alone through his actions (proven by US study) and they still vote for him. Idiots.
