The fact that some people loudly said they didn’t think Trump would actually do this is proof to me that those people chose to memory hole his entire first term and also everything they knew about him before it. He has always been this troll in a china shop - ThreadSky

He is a career criminal and vengeful, fraudulent, mendacious, and misogynistic bully who has bankrupted 6 businesses and had to give up his own university and foundation because he was ripping them off. That’s all I could fit in one sentence. There’s also the bigotry and the overt narcissism.

Just spent 20 mins on the phone with a Chase financial advisor (closing my accounts lol) and his exact words were "I didn't think this would happen, not to this extent"; my response: "I did."

Yes, indeed! Not only did they think he would not do it when I ask my hangingbyathread R pals--they won't even watch the devastation. They are on TikTok/ Instagram watching videos about of pigs fighting and pickle recipes. Just like him, they never admit they made a mistake EVER. JFC

Not to relate everything to nazis but the comparison becomes more apt every day. There were many many "regular" germans who refused to believe it was "that bad" in the face of incontrovertible evidence, even decades after. to say nothing of the party faithful.

Good one.

they're in a cult. it's very sad when you have to make trump and defending him your whole identity.

williamthecat.bsky.social•1 day ago

They forget how many "adults in the room" there were in his first term who kept the crazy train on the rails. They thought it would be the same. Yeah, they were wrong. People take so much for granted.

Yeah, I’ll never figure out what the hell people were paying attention to because none of this is a shock or was unexpected. Trump literally tells us all what he’s going to do. It’s not rocket science!

I say, if you voted for Trump twice, you are not allowed to make decisions anymore.

peglegtricky.bsky.social•1 day ago

What gets me is all the people who say “take Trump seriously, not literally” like wtf kind of fortune-cookie wisdom is that.

wisteria9.bsky.social•1 day ago

Exactly. We should have known in 2016 (some of us did) but there is no excuse for not having known in 2024.

annatachcojimenez.bsky.social•1 day ago

I don’t know how they can see anything even remotely good about him. There literally isn’t anything good.

riverbirchky.bsky.social•1 day ago

Setting aside what trump would or wouldn't do in his second term. Why in everything sane and good would someone vote for a rapist and a felon? What happened to people's sense of what is right and wrong?

Well done Orange One!

I was thrown off by how restrained the administration was last time and hurt the point I was arguing with some that he'd be better for America in the longer term than Hillary, as he'd expose the true nature of Capitalism, where she'd keep hiding it.

"THIS" is what I expected first time out.

inb4: I never argued people should vote for him, that would be to intentionally do harm to others and risk WWIII.
Rather it was to stop voting for lesser evil, campaign and vote for what you believe in, organise, protest, strike. Change the system, not just the face hiding the system.
