    If you voted for Trump then this is 100% what you specifically voted for. I’m tired of hearing this line, it’s bullshit. He was barking about literally everything he is doing the entire time, everyone else was pointing out that this is exactly what he was saying, if you genuinely didn’t think this is what he was all about the entire time then you are an idiot and the exact kind of tool they were asking you to be.

    Fuck every single person who voted for this.

        Yeah, not voting for any of the bad options is a lot worse than voting for the worst option.

          I wouldn’t say worse, but equally idiotic. Not voting doesn’t absolve you from causing the result.

            Not voting in 2020 would actually have been the optimal outcome for the country. Objectively, we would have been far, far better off if a large number of Democrats had stayed home in 2020, allowing Trump to get a second term then instead of now. Democrats focused on short-term expediency by forcing Biden through. They won the election in 2020, but at what a terrible price. Instead of a flailing second Trump term with Trump as a lame duck, Democrats gave Trump four more years to regroup, strategize, and come up with Project 2025. Democrats chose the cheap and easy solution in 2020, and every one of us is paying for it now.

            Your strategy has some merit, but it fails in that it only considers short-term, rather than long-term thinking. Your victories end up temporary and ultimately Pyrrhic.

            Voting for today’s lesser of two evils only works if you’re a goldfish with no memory of history.

              Project 2025 is not from yesterday. Do you even know what the Heritage Foundation is?

              This(project 2025) has been in the works for decades.

              You have very little understanding of what is going on. You are the very goldfish you argue against.

                Yes, they’ve tried for years. But they actually managed to properly plan it this time. Do you honestly believe there’s no difference between Trump in 2024 and Trump in 2020? They have completely different cabinets. Hell, we would have had Pence as VP. The administration is run by entirely different people. They were a lot more careful about selecting for avowed loyalists this time. Trump winning in 2020 would have completely denied them this chance to reorganize. We would have objectively been much, much better off if a second Trump term came in 2020 than in 2024.

                You have very little understanding of what is going on.

              You know, there’s no law of nature dictating that Trump had to get a second term. If people had voted democrat in 2024 and 2028, Trump would just not have had a second term.
