Every day I shake my head over the number of people who are “shocked” with what is happening. How can they be shocked, when they were told what was going to happen in advance?

Anyone who were paying attention knew this was in the works since the 1930's...Ronald Reagan put it on the fast track...we knew...it's going to be Jim Crow laws for all who oppose the MagaQ now...we now need guidance from those who have lived through this...I am with them...
The wealthy knew but cared less because they benefit. His base have yet to really understand just how terribly they’re going to suffer for their stupidity The remaining voters seem to think it wouldn’t apply to them. It is now a fascist country.
For me the shock is how this can happen in our country. I am shocked, horrified, and disgusted. I can’t help but shake my own head every day and ask how the fuck we got here. I am shocked at how insane he is, how much power he has, and how many people worship him. Life is just one big shocking WTF.
A lof of these people call themselves democrats or republicans reading over the aisle.
They are no aisles, or soon constitution. At least flood your states Governors & legislators! It's a start. Email call Flood! Be a pest
People don't want to believe. A self defense mechanism enhanced by today's electronic & tech devices, meant to distract, rather empower and unite with a solid cohesive plan.
This frightening clown is about to get confirmed as the head of our medical system in America. Call 202-224-3121. Ask for your senator or any other senator and leave messages jam up these switchboards fill the mailboxes vote no.
Yeah dawg, people hating on me cos I won't give an argument as to why government officials shouldn't have money in the stock market, the answer is pretty obvious cos they're broadcasting every move the annoying orange makes
I want to be more angry at the red but I feel they're too far gone
Problem is that many people have no imagination. Most people in the US have never experienced such blatant attempts to destroy our way of life. It would help if people were better read. I suggest Orwell’s 1984. We are living doublespeak right now.
Thank you. As an educator, over the course of 20years, I personally observed a huge decline in the scope and richness of student vocabulary. IMHO, they don’t read nearly enough.
I think this is a major factor. People have become so complacent and don't realize how delicate our republic truly is. His 1st admin was the warning shot. I heard too many people say "if he didn't do it the first time, what makes you think he can the 2nd?"
Hitler wasn’t successful the 1st time either, but he learned and learned well enough to use to destroy Germany’s gov in 53 days. FF will only succeed if we give in to the lies and fear.
Exactly. We KNEW what a Trump administration was like, and he promised his second one would be worse. Democrats shouted reminders, but OH NO, American voters knew different! And now, like you say, they're somehow surprised that he's doing all the horrible things he promised.
I’ve got a lot of family like this. They spend all day listening and watching their entertainment “news” where they are told repeatedly that THEY are telling the truth and everyone else is lying. So even when you tell them, show them, they experience it for themselves, they cannot believe it.
I said something very similar in the comments on Instagram and someone responded. “Well, I didn’t know he was going to invade Greenland and Panama before the election.” Oh, so that’s your red line? Genocide is fine. Convicted felon fine. Etc etc etc.
First of all, Semper Fi Gunny. My favorite person was my Gunny when I served. Secondly, I wholeheartedly agree. Some of us have been screaming from rooftops and they said I was over reacting. Now they are surprised.
The ones I can’t get my head around are the ones who KNEW Project 2025 was bad, because they kept saying to me “Trump said he’s not going to do that”. I wanted to slam my head into my desk every time I heard that. They knew, but they chose to believe the liar.
Imagine cracking jokes at the canary in the coal mine as the whole place fills up with CO.
The time for the "I didn't know" excuses was his 1st term.
He said what he would do. Now he's doing it. The only people who are surprised are the fools who thought this clown was joking.
Gunny…I’m convinced that the majority of voters don’t ever engage. On the Monday before Election Day they figure out what time they can run into their voting booth, leave the car idling, mark the “R” and poof…done.
Or u have ppl who think it is perfectly fine. They will give u a convoluted reason why the price of eggs are high that they would never tout if Pres Biden was in office.
Thankfully none of the people who voted for this hot mess have had a word to say about it since inauguration. Prior to that they’d tell me everything will be fine but now all I hear are crickets.
Well, Democrats told you, Trump lied and said he wasn’t aware of Project 2025, or that the people he planned to hire from the Heritage Group are just interested in burning the government to the ground!
They did what they are doing now. Complaining about everything making them angry and that everything can’t be about politics. Finding excuses to not join in the boycotts/protests and trying to get others to validate their inaction so that they can absolve themselves of any guilt.
Unfortunately, I am not shocked at the passivity of the US population's reaction to all this. In France they would be in the streets in massive numbers and would call for a general strike.
He never should have qualified. Probably for either term. But here we are we can’t prosecute him for the coup he incited because we let him run again- Unqualified and unfit and guilty but not punishable Got it!
They weren’t told if all they listen to was the Faux news channel of alternative facts. There are those out there that just don’t listen to those on the other side.
You can be shocked even knowing it’s coming. It’s like feeling the shock of the loss of a loved one knowing all along they had cancer. It’s still shocking to see our beloved country going to shit like this.
Depravity in a political campaign is gross and unsurprising; voters choose per their values.
Depravity and cruelty in Traitor Tot’s administration are gross and unsurprising. The cult excuses it, fascists rejoice, and the disinterested public is oblivious until they are affected themselves.
Well given that ~1/3 of Americans are illiterate, and no one held their hand to read that 922 page document to them, saying Project 2025 detailed explicitly what was going to happen told them ahead of time is stretching believability. He said he wasn’t connected so they ignored it.
Low information voters didn’t believe it. Or only heard the disinformation / propaganda… every day that people do realize it is happening is better than never… we have to pull together to fight this.
Even the media discounted it... And the DEM were in Lala land the whole time... Instead of taking it seriously, raising the Alarm and fighting back... So here we are - let's hope it doesn't spiral out of total control 🤞
My MAGA co-workers told me that Project 2025 was a liberal scare tactic and could/would never happen. Now they are asking how this happening. I am having mugs made for me and my other non-MAGA co-worker that reads "Welcome to the find out phase. If only you had been warned."
The most shocking thing about everything these days is that nothing that should be shocking is shocking. Oh, he decided to deport everyone who voted against him. Must be a Wednesday.
They lived through his first term and now he is more bitter and senile and also has an even more subservient GOP - What exactly did they expect to happen?
Me too Gunny. I had that very convo with a cousin maga this morning. The “I didn’t know” crap didn’t float as I showed him emails and texts sharing project 2025 with him before the election.
The ones that piss me off most are those who didn't vote for Kamala because they didn't like Biden's middle east policies. Now Trump wants to drive the Palestinians out of Gaza and "clean it out".

To them, everything is 'now' and they have no functional concept of either 'cause and effect'' or 'the future'.
Sad, but true.
I fear it is too often overlooked.
He learned what NOT to do the 1st time.. 🤦🏼♂️
What have you all been looking at ?
I record everything. There will be a reckoning, and I will produce evidence.
No mercy, no forgetting, no forgiveness.
Period.
Would people be shocked if he actually shot someone?
Well, yes?
🤷🏾

Highlight parts with EO referenced..
and walking away.
Doing it to non voters, too.
I call them on it
Remind them they voted for a felon..same as John Edwards..
Fraud to cover up an extramartial affair..
Except difference..we dumped Edwards in trash..
While they put their trash in WH..pisses them off.
I am past caring.
Nah. Don't work that way. He gave you the playbook before the game
Now they must rectify that with that they can see & hear with their own eyes & ears outside the bubble.

Just Because...
They thought we were being mean to donny.
Are they seeing the Light yet?
Probably not.
Comedians were reading from it during the summer.

It is a state of paralysis. DO SOMETHING.
It’s just getting started. The military will be called into cities and they will kill people.
So, yeah, I am not surprised.
They're just shocked that their face is being eaten.
🤬
