This kind of thing is so psychic damage-inducing but it really reinforces how many people don’t pay attention to anything and just let vibes guide their opinion. Message is to have superior vibes - ThreadSky

Laid-off IRS employee said he had voted for Trump: "I thought that someone with his business acumen would have come in with a fine-tooth comb and actually found it instead of coming in with a wrecking ball and destroying people’s lives for no reason."

Translation: "I don't give a ferk about anyone but myself".
Here's hoping the Mango Mussolini will implode eventually, but nobody can sit back and *hope* for the best. Nobody!

Leopards faces yadda yadda. Also, you work at the IRS and you're so low information that you don't realize this man has been through multiple bankruptcies?

Good God George Carlin was right.

That same IRS labeled him the single greatest money loser of the 1990s. Maybe some of these layoffs are justified; for example, this Trump voter.

He might have been a fan from Trump's Apprentice days since he mentioned his "business acumen" even though Trump had inherited his father's business & $400M and declared bankruptcy 5 or 6 times

Right, Trump has the benefit of decades of having his businessman image groomed in the media

"vibes" and self-reinforcing information bubbles.

"Business acumen".

A man who has filed for Bankruptcy Five times.

I just...

...I can't.

Vibes >>> infectious disease mitigation

Business acumen - how many bankruptcies and failed businesses? Fine tooth comb? He doesn't read... smh

At least he got what he voted for.

My sympathy is with all those getting screwed who didn’t

I do think Trump is uniquely capable of being this blank slate candidate which is in some ways crazy and in some ways not because who knows what he’s going to do next? I don’t! I’m very curious if Trumpism can outlast Trump.

One counterpoint here is that a majority of Americans now vote based on vibes, and the GOP does an almost infinitely better job at shamelessly and effectively using multimodal messaging to influence and set said vibes.

How many social media platforms & TV networks do Democrats Own and Run?

Zero?

notdred.bsky.social•1 day ago

That’s not a counterpoint, it’s an explanation for why Dems fail and an argument for the necessity of tackling that environment

satmandu.bsky.social•1 day ago

That's fair. I guess descriptively, voters need better vibes, and as such, we desperately need to map a way of getting there.

Couldn’t agree more!

I know I shouldn't... but every time I see one of these stories Ticks and Leeches by Tool pops up in my head. I just can't help it.

"I thought that someone with his business acumen..."

honestly, that person probably needed to be let go because they seemingly lack the capacity to actually count the beans

chrispg12.bsky.social•1 day ago

the fact that this person thought Trump had ANY business acumen is the fault of the press.

instead of referring to him as “former businessman” or “billionaire” or any other way they should have referred to him as “rapist”.
