    This is unironically how the right sees Trump and his ilk though. Vividly remember a conversation between two family members when one said “why are people mad? He just wants to make America great again.”

    Not sure the point I’m trying to make tbh. Just be careful with how we envision “our” candidates in our minds.

        Once I get Talarico’s face tattooed on my chest and fly a “Talafreako” flag on the back of my truck every day and wear a “Time To Start Flipping Tables” hat to every Thanksgiving with my family for the next ten years then maybe we can have a cautionary conversation about idolizing politicians.

          Do you thibk his supporters don’t care about the rape allegations, or do they just not believe them?

      It took them awhile to realize Trump’s definition of “great” and “big beautiful” was for the 1%ers, but a dystopian hellscape for the 99%.

          At least enough came to their senses that blue swept the midterms. Lotsa former MAGAs switched to blue. That’s how BADLY Trump has been masquerading as a Republican, actually a despotic tyrranic fascist oligarch.

            and yet I remain unconvinced that a significant portion of his sycophants understand that higher prices are merely the beginning of his idolatric shitshow. Most have merely come to the end of their pitifully short attention span.

            My greatest fear is that all of this is merely over cost of living, and after establishment dems snuff any meaningful change, we’ll be right back to fighting the fascist de jure after Trump slumps into his grave.

            Unless (and yes, it IS a big unless that I desperately hope is merely the ghosts of the past) the Dems enact meaningful change, within the next two years, it’ll be right back to clown A vs clown B for 2028.

      By that logic, vote for the Democrat who wants to make America even better. Yeah, they absolutely take him at his word (except when he’s calling them stupid or denigrating military personnel, etc) but don’t listen to people who have receipts.
