Be reasonable! How could any sane person have predicted that a man believes exactly what he says he believes and is planning to do exactly what he says he is planning to do?
So Trump Derangement Syndrome actually means listening to what the fuck he says out loud in public and taking it seriously? Damn that's crazy who would have thought
I regret to acknowledge that the people with Wrong Opinion Syndrome were right, actually. Unfortunately all the people who predicted this were afflicted with Wrong Opinion Syndrome so we sane people had no choice but to ignore them 😔
Wowowow, the mouth foaming psychos with diseased brains really nailed this one 10/10 while us in the “sober and sane” crew seemed to have hallucinated a reality not remotely bearing any resemblance to the evidence available for literally years.
I always read that as Bush realizing, in real time, that a video of him saying "shame on me" would immediately go viral and be used in countless political attack ads, so he tried to ad lib a different version of the idiom.
Looking like an idiot is better than saying "Shame on me."
nah. if you can live through his first term and decide "yeah gimme more of that!!!" you can die in a ditch for all i care. you dont get hugs and welcome aboards because your own stupidity is affecting you now.
Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is actually believing in him and every word he utters, defending his inane statements and explaining away everything he screws up, especially blaming Biden or others for his cock-ups. That is truly derangement.
This is what happens when ppl are so obsessed with DEI, thinking that the WWC are the only voting bloc that matters and culture wars (you can included milquetoast, small l liberals like Matty Y, Ezra Klein and Bill Maher) that you ignore that DJT is a destructive moron who’ll crash the economy
A repeat of the first term would have been Trump asking people to inject bleach during COVID. But that is fine as long as it did not affect their investments.
"Nobody knew how bad?" GTFO with that. People have been sounding the alarm about Trump and his authoritarian ambitions since his primary challenge in 2015.
The fact that people have been ignoring how bad things could and will be for ten years is infuriating and astonishing in the worst of ways.
This is so fuckign enraging. They won’t even admit that they were the ones with Trump delusion syndrome and that trump derangement syndrome didn’t exist.
"Nobody knew how bad it would be except all the people I was ignoring because they kept telling me how bad it would be" is not the intellectually serious apology that I think he thinks it is.
The millions of people who didn't vote for the fucking clown knew exactly how bad. None of these people get credit for admitting they screwed up until one of them says "I voted for him because I was a hateful asshole." "No one knew" is an excuse, and a half-assed one at that.
one would have to be completely oblivious to everything that’s ever occurred on the planet to not know with certainty “how bad” it was gonna get.
And it’s only going to get worse. These are ‘the good old days’ for which we’ll be longing in the not-too-distant future.
the effects have not yet begun
“Nobody” is really confirming who the renowned racist thinks of as people, & confirms (yet again) how believing in white supremacy is a categorical sign of unfitness.
Idiots like Richard are the real victims of *Trump Derangement Syndrome.* it’s been a self inflicted victimization. We are collateral damage.
They have always let their bigotry cause them to suspend their connection to reality in favor of believing the rants of a career/lifelong conman and fraud.
Except there were red flags raised for years. Experts in tyranny, historians, politicians and even the convicted criminal himself told us what was ahead.
For real. They always come full circle to these "shoot the messenger" acronyms. "SJW", "virtue signaling", "woke", "TDS" it's all just the same shtick to discredit any opposition they face.
We invented a term for people who warned us to make them seem crazy, and I’m still convinced they were crazy, but everything they warned us about has happened.
Even when he knows he was wrong, he still has to insult the folks who TOLD HIM EXACTLY WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN. Like, this is some Pavlovian response, or a cult? God, deprogramming these morons is going to be expensive (for multiple reasons).
Way for him to contradict himself in one short tweet. Bc that means people *did* know what would happen, but were dismissed with having TDS. I hate these people
"Ah, but see, there's no contradiction. The TDSers were and are crazy, so anything they correctly predicted was accidental. They are typewriting monkeys, not intellectuals like us."
1) nobody allowed to speak saw it coming, and he values suppression above giving credit to his enemies. Classic RW goon getting his face eaten by leopards
2) seeing it coming was deserving of being forbidden to be heard. And, now, he is angling to keep the left from gaining influence. It's similar how AGC deniers suppress activists when it's AGW is getting increasingly obvious.
We knew that none of the “normal” Republicans in Trump’s first administration wanted to return (because they saw he has a toddler brain) so only dumb bigoted obsequious zealots were going to fill his cabinet with no one to try to rein him in. It was very clear!
At some point in the future when all this’s in the past, they will try to say that they never seriously supported him or believed him. They need to have their crap hung around their necks like the albatross in that poem.
Just smh, the subtext of “nobody knew” being “all the cis white men I know thought Trump would be managed and buffered.” Just, fuck you, man. Nobody but the woman of color at the top of the Democratic ticket, and the 75 fucking million Americans who voted for her instead of this.
Infuriating that even now, he can't help but paint the people he is ACKNOWLEDGING WERE CORRECT as suffering from so-called TDS. Pick a lane, dude -- either those people are deluded, or they were right. If they were right, it's a tough putt to argue that they were also crazy.
Trump ran on tariffs and mass deportation with Musk boasting about cutting two trillion from the federal budget. How could anyone anticipate the tariffs, indiscriminate deportations, and mass firing of federal employees?
My knowledge of the Iraq War is piecemeal, as it was before I was born. But let me get this straight:
Is that a pundit saying 'nobody could've foreseen hostility toward the US in the Middle East' because nobody specifically predicted 'such hostility will manifest as flying a plane into a building'?
We ALL knew.
You can tell yourself and everyone else it wasn't apparent from the beginning but that's bullshit.
When they rigged the election and KNEW they would have the House and the Senate, then put Comrade Johnson in place we all knew it would be bad.
I think the term is accurate because seeing people defend and support Trump, who has so very obviously been narcissist with a preference for fascism the entire time, has made me mentally deranged--100%.
"Who could have expected the seasoned professionals who believed what my candidate said to be more accurate than a gaggle of nepo babies who make money from whining about woke french fries?"
We're still not even close to where I have believed we were headed since Trump 1.0. Like, I hear "Americans can't imagine how bad this could get" and I'm, like, I've been imagining "Liberia, only with nukes" for 8 years.
The way to have written this tweet to not make it all about protecting his ego:
"I was wrong and the people I spent years mocking and abusing with a made-up illness (that now people are trying to make a real diagnosis/reason to 5150 people off to 'wellness [labor] camps') were right."
I had this same thought! The people he slapped with a fake DVM diagnosis were right all along but they still get the label while he cries about suddenly being the victim of fascism. He might be angry at the administration but he is PISSED that he was wrong. Not pissed enough to learn, though...
If there is any justice in the world he will rot in the shamed obscurity he deserves until he figures the above out, because that ego is precisely how he got duped in the first place.
I might suggest that his penance should instead be taking vows of silence, chastity, poverty and humility, then spending the rest of his days putting his body and life between the people he wrongfully demonized and the assholes he (stupidly) empowered.
Exactly. Until he looks at the rest of his fucked up views, he's never going to figure out where he went wrong -- but he's clearly unwilling to do any of that.
Oh, 100%, me too. I cried the day he was elected in 2016, and I'm Australian. Last year, it plunged me to the depths of depression.
I can accept a certain amount of ignorance on people's part in 2016. But the people who still supported him after Jan 6. That's a very different story.
Like 40+ of his former Cabinet members said "Dude, this guy was HORRIBLE! Don't vote for him again!" Including his own former vice-president (whom he tried to kill on Jan 6th).
Even when they "figure it out" they still have to hang on to at least a little bit of brain-rot propaganda like it's absolutely foundational to their world view. "Trump Derangement Syndrome" was never a thing. It was an excuse to ignore criticism and warnings about a profoundly dangerous person.
Lots of people knew how bad. But a lot of platforms gave credibility to Very Serious people because not knowing was treated as a qualification and denial seemed comforting, and knowing history and living in the real world was treated as extremism to be dismissed and not even counted.
They treated this like a ‘Create your own adventure’ book - where they took the bits they liked and clung to those things, while completing ignoring every thing else.
And to us trying to get them to see the grave issues, they claimed we were deranged.
It is the next step after right wing populism - get the oligarchs totally in charge, “Wow, sorry folks I guess that just doesn’t work, let us save you from yourselves”
I recall when it was labeled Bush Derangement Syndrome.
I mean, George W. Bush and Dick Cheney only stole an election, ignored terror attack warnings, started an illegal war, and legalized torture, but if you said they were paving the way to a fascist dictatorship, you had Bush Derangement Syndrome.
“I must've thought that maybe Jared Kushner would just wait until he fell asleep around noon and then start making all the right calls. Or that it would be Elon, but that Elon was a smart guy...”
Did they align? Free markets — Trump was openly opposed. Individual liberties — Republicans have rejected the constitution for years. Law and Order — voting for a felon is an obvious enough rejection of that idea.
At the very least, his listed justifications are plainly false.
“He’s an intelligent person, but he’s also very racist.”
These are contradictory statements. You need to understand that. A person who is very racist had a very big intellectual blindside. The more racist they are the less intelligent they are.
Richard is super intelligent, but he also believes things most educated people see through as complete bullshit. In the 1700s though he would've been in the top 3 or 4 smartest people in a small town full of racists.
It's wild, because he has a pretty coherent analysis here. He could actually have been someone intellectually interesting if he didn't have such awful beliefs.
I listened to his interview with @destiny.gg before the election. He was probably the "most good-faith" pro-Trump guy around. And that is saying VERY little.
He was clearly intelligent, but so determined for a Trump win he constantly misrepresented things to justify if.
He also has that faux intellectualism that makes him put lots of words together to justify the unjustifiable. People these days seem to be entranced by pithy words instead of meaning.
Sorry, did you forget the Hanania principle that those people are estrogenized and/or have low IQs due to their ancestry and therefore de facto were not qualified to opine?
Also lol this dude knew what was coming because he’s friends with Yarvin and his reply is all a front.
Man, I may not be as smart as all these folks but I absolutely knew how bad. And this is nothing compared to how bad it will be a month from now. Hell, a week from now.
So by definition TDS can’t be called either a “syndrome” or “deranged” and, if so, is there a better negative definition of “spitting facts”? There must be a nicer way to welcome young Mr. Hanania to his tardy understanding of the truth than to call him a dumbass? Help me out.
"No one saw this coming except the people I dismissed as irrational for seeing this coming" is a wild statement to pair with the belief that he didn't trust himself enough.
But then this is a guy who's playing racism poker, accidentally dropped his hand on the table, and is still trying to bluff.
Fortunately for him, the most fundamental, most universally conservative principle, that "personal responsibility" is a thing that only applies to other people, still seems to be firmly in place.
Let’s credit the guy for using his real name for once instead of writing his little racist opinions under a pseudonym because he was too scared of copping a beating.
The fact that even in his concession of this point, he still uses "Trump Derangement Syndrome" to describe those who correctly understood the situation, make it clear that while his mind may have been changed on this specific issue, his heart hasn't changed at all.
Growing up in (and escaping) a far-right, conservative family, I see no difference between conservatism & Trumpism. At the very least, conservatism has ENABLED Trump. You'll get no pass from me. The rest of the country is now getting an education on the right-wing extremism that I got as a child.
blah blah - not my fault - blah blah - I didn't know - blah blah blah.
Look fella, if you're not putting your body on the line leading the protest right on up to being nose-to-nose in their fascist f'n faces, then get outta here. Nobody has time for your whiny fairy tales right now.
Trump 1.0 was a motherfucking horror show. If you thought, "Oh, we're gonna get the fucktard who told us to inject bleach and cuddled up to Nazis, please give yourself a fire extinguisher enema.
Sorry voting for trump hoping for a repeat of the 1st administration is so dumb. He added more to the national debt than any other president and told us to drink bleach. Great times
it's kinda interesting we got a "the signs were there" out of him. with a lot of other swing, biden->trump voters I've talked to that layer is just missing.
The left wants to feed people, give them healthcare, reasonably-priced housing, education, and to get money out of politics. Yours is a false equivalency, you moron.
The problem is, because of these fucking dipshits, the rest of us are saddled with paying for their mistakes. If only they were the only ones who paid the price for their errors…
no. we have lots of empirical evidence that right wing populism is the same thing as fascism, but those of us on the left said that a long time ago too.......
So what are you going to do to fix it? Are you going to call your congressman and senator? Attend town halls? Protest? Talk to your friends who voted the same way?
I guess he was convinced a convicted felon. ketchup-throwing bloviated clown who committed treason to try and stay in office was better than a woman with brown skin and a law degree and years of service to the country.
Dude has a disgusting little humiliation fetish. Its the only explanation for why he drops trou and begs to be paddled over and over and over and over an
Maybe he
1. Should have read Project 2025
2. Should have cared about women in his life
3. Paid attention to the roadmap SCrOTUS gave to the wannabe dictator
3. Should have thought beyond his own tiny box of (discredited) conservative ideology tools
He's the adult toddler that just HAD to put his whole hand on the wood stove, even though the adults in the room tried everything to prevent that with sound, logical, evidence based advice.
Now burned badly, he announces that he's discovered on his own that stoves are hot.
Right? He deliberately voted for someone he *hoped* would be asleep half the time and somebody he *didn’t* vote for would step in to save the day.
The stupidity is painful.
Truly wild that anyone thinks the first Trump administration was restrained. It was literally only his own incompetence, indecision, and lack of focus that kept them from accomplishing things. Republicans backed him up on all of it, even the ones who objected behind closed doors or in op-eds.
I mean seriously you can point to about a hundred “Trump will have no guardrails this time” warnings during the run up to the election was this guys head just up his ass?
Nobody knew? I don’t feel bad for these folks because they weren’t paying attention. I watched him speak at rallies and answer questions during debates and he didn’t have any plans, just fixes without anything but words and empty promises and lies.
I don't completely agree here. I agree with many here that think he's an asshole that is fine with pain done to others. Now that it hit him, he finally found out.
However he came to this realization, it's a good thing he's saying it. He will move people that would never listen to me.
“I knew that DJT was a raving sociopath, i just thought long held conservative values (also designed to hurt people) would prevail.
Well, they have prevailed & here we are ass hat. So, wtf is your point?!?!!! Just had to confirm you are a narcissist - it’s only problem when it hurts you.
Where was he during the first administration? Trump tanked our economy he just better at doing it now. It took Biden 4 freaking yrs 2 fix it & he got voted out bc centrists republicans wanted Trump 2 have another chance 2 do exactly what he showed us he would do. Ppl need to pay more attention.
Spoken like a true MAGA. He knew.
"...That word is "Nazi." Nobody cares about their motives anymore. They lent their support and their moral approval. ... in so doing, they bound themselves to everything that came after. Who cares any more what particular knot they used in the binding?” A.R. Moxon
Why would some Americans want a repeat of the 1st Trump term? Obama handed Trump a sound economy until he wreaked it. Biden had to pull us out of the economic mess. In 1 term, Biden gave us an economy that was the envy of the world.Trump has destroyed it in record time. 💁🏾♀️ America deserves Trump.
TDS isn’t a mental illness. It gaslighting those with
mental clarity. Nothing deranged about being an intelligent person who knows how to spot a narcissist and doesn’t cower.
If you vote for a rapist, you should expect to get raped. And you should also expect everyone else to get raped, which is what makes your vote inexcusably selfish and dishonorable, beyond just plain stupid and self-destructive.
Also, “individual rights” meaning “I thought I was voting against the rights of POCs, LGBTQ ppl, ppl with disabilities, women, and only for the rights of white men-and look what I have to put up with now.” FAFO, fuckhole.
Broken record on this, but the first term we got The Apprentice version of Trump, highly managed, protected from his impulses, etc… Now we’re getting the surrounded by toadies, went bankrupt 6x’s version.
"I'm just shocked and baffled that Trump did the things he said he was going to do."
... actually, you know what: While I absolutely knew Trump was being serious, the average U.S. politician does platform on empty promises.
Oh, it's the whole "do unto others as long as it doesn't affect me stance." What the MAGA cult dummies don't realize bc, they're in a cult, is that once Trump & his fascists take away everything from everyone else, he's going to start taking the MAGA cults rights too. Kiss your guns goodbye, dummies
It’ll never happen, but I wish these idiots who compartmentalized the orange f***’s lack of decency and voted for him, could be publicly shamed for their entire adulthood. We may have yet to pay the ultimate price for their stupidity. Let’s hope we make it.
Whatever it takes to WAKE ppl up I guess.
But damn: “basic ideological basis of conservatism” and does not acknowledge that today’s ideology is a foundation built on racism , oligarchy, hate, and oppression
What an idiot, here’s my rant to him:
The 1st Administration was a disaster on all fronts.
And he literally Screamed to you what he was going to do in the 2nd
ALL of it the Opposite of Conservative Ideals as you describe them
You knew this is what you voted for and that he was a Felon and Traitor
THAT, right there, is exactly the reason we had so many idiots vote for Trump. They *didn't* pay attention to the shift in the GOP during the 4 years under Biden. They assumed the in-party checks on Trump would remain, ignoring how the cult had moved further in.
Idiots.
Not gonna disagree with you there. I still remember the speeches from the racist old guys in Congress "we will do anything to stop whatever Obama tries to pass, we don't care what it is."
i’d like to see evidence that left wing populism doesn’t work. we have his current and previous terms as evidence that it doesn’t work on the right, if you can even label him right.
Pretty much everyone in the Western World look on in horror as America committed hari-kari on itself. At least with Hitler there was the excuse of the Depression.
Dumb ass .. first administration was a horrible chapter in our history. What part of the poor pandemic management was worth repeating? Don’t you remember the empty shelves in the supermarket? People like you are the reason we are here now. I hope you enjoy all the consequences of this regime.
Even as early as 2017 when Trump was humiliated at Helsinki and later laughed at by the entire UN. He was ridiculed at each G7 conference for acting as a Russian foreign minister instead of POTUS.
I think they just remember the hope of saying the n-word to a black person or beating up LGBTQ+ ppl.
None of that even matters. Do you remember that almost 1 million Americans died because of his criminally inept response to the pandemic. The constant lies. And the insurrection!? That wasn't enough to stop you from voting for him again?
Oh, c’mon. Doge and MuskRat have shown who they are, and we’re still going to believe that they didn’t meddle in the outcome??! What did DickTraitor say at that Christian Dinner?? “I don’t need your votes”
Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice I'm just an idiot. But he wasn't fooled. He knew what he was getting. He was a cheerleader. He helped write the blueprints. Just because it's not turning out the way he thought it would doesn't excuse him. He can't squirm out of this with "I didn't know."
"I did not take my own ideas seriously enough" is some legendary mental gymnastics to pat himself on the back. Self-congratulation for being wrong, but secretly- unbeknownst to all including himself- being right. And of course no one else who said those thoughts out loud gets the same credit.
A lot of what Trump does is based on a glimmer of truth. Immigration is a concern, all tariffs are not bad, the government was bloated.
His implementation is the issue, alongside his white power ideology.
Middle ground voters saw their issues, but didn't realise Trump's agenda (he denied project25)🙄
Hey if you're going to spotlight far right assholes would you mind using alt text so folks who don't need to get two inches away from a pile of shit to tell what it is can mute the names of these assholes? They get a lot more eyeballs from spite-posting
The only thing that kept his first term from being as off the wall as his second was that his first Cabinet was more concerned with enriching themselves than tearing the country down around them.
You can say a lot here but this is the line: “we now have a great deal of evidence populism does not work”
Really? NOW we have this? As if every political philosopher for thousands of years hasn’t written about this? As if history doesn’t have an unlimited number of case studies???
Sure, forgive me if I couldn’t give two shits for your analysis since you clearly have egregiously poor judgement. Go ahead & fuck all the way off EVERY MAGA VOTER, forgiveness isn’t even on the table.
So he was hoping for the same failure as the first time ,thinking it wouldn't be as bad,but at least he didn't have to vote for a black woman? He chose to fall back just a little in his opinion rather than improve our lives because a woman would've gotten the credit. MAGA ladies, catching on yet?
Everything about this boobs post is wrong starting with “thought we would get what we got in his first term”! Seriously any smart, intelligent person wouldn’t want that, do they not remember the death toll? That’s just one reason Dump sucks the devils cock.
Before he was sworn in again, MAGAs were all saying "He didn't do that in his first term!" as if to say that this time wouldn't be different. I said to them that their words will be in history books.
(measuring Hanania's skull with a set of rusty calipers) You only see gullibility to this degree in people with shallow brain pans like yours. I'm diagnosing you with genetic inferiority and ill humours.

I wonder what my former friends who called me crazy are thinking.
What terrible luck🤔
The email lady and the Black VP lady knew.
And warned us.
Looking like an idiot is better than saying "Shame on me."
It doesn’t take a lot of intelligence to keep up an act like that
What is it with these people and cognitive dissonance?
Like their brain is on, but not powered all the way up?
The fact that people have been ignoring how bad things could and will be for ten years is infuriating and astonishing in the worst of ways.
Just asking questions.
And it’s only going to get worse. These are ‘the good old days’ for which we’ll be longing in the not-too-distant future.

So stop acting like that's a thing
They have always let their bigotry cause them to suspend their connection to reality in favor of believing the rants of a career/lifelong conman and fraud.
Maybe “trump derangement syndrome” is actually the ability to see past the bs.
What an idiot
(Ugh. I gotta take a shower.)
It can be two compatible things.
Or
That TDS term really belongs on the people who imagine him to be good.
I actually expected him and his ilk to dig in. It only took two days for him to melt down. What a wuss.
Enraging.
Senior US officials quietly stopped flying commercial that summer.
Is that a pundit saying 'nobody could've foreseen hostility toward the US in the Middle East' because nobody specifically predicted 'such hostility will manifest as flying a plane into a building'?
Nobody could have foreseen except so the people who did
You can tell yourself and everyone else it wasn't apparent from the beginning but that's bullshit.
When they rigged the election and KNEW they would have the House and the Senate, then put Comrade Johnson in place we all knew it would be bad.
He was so close to getting it. 🤦♂️
It's like someone in a burning house calling the neighbor trying to warn them clinically insane.
Fuckoff all the way, MAGAt. Your big clue was January 6, 2021 and you ignored it.
underground?
"I was wrong and the people I spent years mocking and abusing with a made-up illness (that now people are trying to make a real diagnosis/reason to 5150 people off to 'wellness [labor] camps') were right."

The adults in the room were the only thing holding him back the first time, but they're all gone now
No one knew... except those who were paying attention and who know history
I can accept a certain amount of ignorance on people's part in 2016. But the people who still supported him after Jan 6. That's a very different story.
But right, "no one knew."
...
And to us trying to get them to see the grave issues, they claimed we were deranged.
These people are so weird.
they are making it really, really, really, really, really, really,really, really, really,really, really, really,really, really, really,really, really, really,really, really, really,really, really, really, hard.
I would like to see the empirical evidence of left-wing populism not working
He just jumped the gun a bit.
Or maybe not.
I mean, George W. Bush and Dick Cheney only stole an election, ignored terror attack warnings, started an illegal war, and legalized torture, but if you said they were paving the way to a fascist dictatorship, you had Bush Derangement Syndrome.
We knew. Kamala Harris talked about it. She had Republicans say it during her campaign. There weren’t as many media stories about it as there should have been, but there were some https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/if-trump-wins-2024-election-1235096091/
Logic isn’t their strong suit. Which explains a lot. Maybe we need to teach children logic.
Gotta say, it's not often I see someone throw... Themselves? Under the bus
Honest mistake!
Like anyone with even basic understanding, he had to provide a lot of mealy-mouth justifications for Trump's election.
Trump losing him is significant
Now he's out there begging Daddy Trump to not touch the numbers.
At the very least, his listed justifications are plainly false.
The rest is part of his mealy-mouthed justification for voting Trump.
There was NO good-faith argument to vote Trump, so naturally his (and everyone else's) was full of flawed logic.
Don't moralize intelligence.
These are contradictory statements. You need to understand that. A person who is very racist had a very big intellectual blindside. The more racist they are the less intelligent they are.
Intelligence is often used as a proxy to how much people should pay attention to another person. "Oh just ignore him, he's stupid."
That's perilous.
To the times I listened to him, he seems *capable* of rational thought. He just is so racist-rotted that he uses that to justify his disgusting views.
He was clearly intelligent, but so determined for a Trump win he constantly misrepresented things to justify if.
Also lol this dude knew what was coming because he’s friends with Yarvin and his reply is all a front.
And you’re all still too brainwashed or too frightened to stand up to him.
But then this is a guy who's playing racism poker, accidentally dropped his hand on the table, and is still trying to bluff.
STILL doesnt get that TDS applied to the derangement of the Trump believers...
you really dont know youre insane when you are...clear case
VP Harris knew and she told everyone.
Joe Biden knew and he told everyone.
Hilary Clinton knew and she told everyone.
...............jfc
Look fella, if you're not putting your body on the line leading the protest right on up to being nose-to-nose in their fascist f'n faces, then get outta here. Nobody has time for your whiny fairy tales right now.
Your betters have told you this forever, dude. You just mistakenly thought you were smarter.
And it sucks that this is probably an important step in getting out of this
I’m guessing he’s smart enough to know which way the wind is blowing
1. Should have read Project 2025
2. Should have cared about women in his life
3. Paid attention to the roadmap SCrOTUS gave to the wannabe dictator
3. Should have thought beyond his own tiny box of (discredited) conservative ideology tools
But no. And now he’s regretful. Fuck him.
No it doesn't. ESPECIALLY when weilded by authoritarians.
He's the adult toddler that just HAD to put his whole hand on the wood stove, even though the adults in the room tried everything to prevent that with sound, logical, evidence based advice.
Now burned badly, he announces that he's discovered on his own that stoves are hot.
There was never any indication that Trump would be reined in by sane adults this time around, quite the opposite in fact.
The stupidity is painful.
Like, so smart that no one else had your idea and you dismissed your own idea because you just couldn't comprehend the magnificence of your own mind?
*bong rip*
No, but seriously, like...
World doesn't see 20 million of you standing in DC at least yelling to get your country back.
You're all cowards. You want someone else to save you you can't even be bothered to save yourselves.
The poor who are losing pensions will save you
However he came to this realization, it's a good thing he's saying it. He will move people that would never listen to me.
I agree that people are more likely to listen to those who they can relate with.
I cannot fathom how these people reason, if you can actually can it reason.
I mean he is wrong about everything else: https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Richard_Hanania so he might be wrong about this.
White people historically do not listen to Black people, and *especially* will not take the word of a Black person word over the words of a white man.
YOU WERE TOLD REPEATEDLY.
"Nobody knew" = BULLSHIT
Well, they have prevailed & here we are ass hat. So, wtf is your point?!?!!! Just had to confirm you are a narcissist - it’s only problem when it hurts you.
"...That word is "Nazi." Nobody cares about their motives anymore. They lent their support and their moral approval. ... in so doing, they bound themselves to everything that came after. Who cares any more what particular knot they used in the binding?” A.R. Moxon
mental clarity. Nothing deranged about being an intelligent person who knows how to spot a narcissist and doesn’t cower.
These are the people the Left needs use and then discard once we claw power back. They deserve nothing.
Remember, these were the clowns that were telling us "Trump lives rent free in your head, you TDS."
MAGA will be considered a huge blight on the country, and I'm not going to let my MAGA family forget what they did.
Who didn’t vote for Trump have zero F’s to give a shit about Trump voters & the “little disruption” they will experience.
it would be funny if it wasn't all so sad for us all.
Now he gives a f**k.
F**k his feelings.
... actually, you know what: While I absolutely knew Trump was being serious, the average U.S. politician does platform on empty promises.
No bro, you saw the hate, saw you were standing to benefit personally from it and cast your lot for the Nazi.
It’s not populism, it’s idiotic nazis that are the problem here.
But damn: “basic ideological basis of conservatism” and does not acknowledge that today’s ideology is a foundation built on racism , oligarchy, hate, and oppression
The 1st Administration was a disaster on all fronts.
And he literally Screamed to you what he was going to do in the 2nd
ALL of it the Opposite of Conservative Ideals as you describe them
You knew this is what you voted for and that he was a Felon and Traitor
Idiots.
Grand Ol' Pussies: "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!"
GTFOH
we told you you utter worthless piece of shit human
He’s getting exactly what he wants
I think they just remember the hope of saying the n-word to a black person or beating up LGBTQ+ ppl.
His implementation is the issue, alongside his white power ideology.
Middle ground voters saw their issues, but didn't realise Trump's agenda (he denied project25)🙄
Really? NOW we have this? As if every political philosopher for thousands of years hasn’t written about this? As if history doesn’t have an unlimited number of case studies???
Jfc…
I wish we could actually cancel people.
Anyone who listened to him lost all credibility in my mind.
