I am genuinely fucking baffled at how many people INSIST on treating orangeboi as a rational actor.
He’s not. He never was. He wasn’t the first time around, either - it’s just that there were enough non-insane people around to stop him from doing what he’s doing now. And he’s doing it now because he got rid of all the non-insane people.
Yeah, I figured most of these people knew what they were doing when they supported Trump, but somehow after a decade of his bullshit (and really, all the decades before that too), they're still surprised he's a fraud?
Or are they just angry that they weren't in the pump and dump group chat that Trump is obviously running?
You don't have to be smart when you're born with a silver spoon like most of these fucks are.
Notice that the actual first generation wealthy aren't the vocally supportive ones. It's the generationally wealthy, the ones that didn't actually make the break into wealth, the ones lucky enough to be born into it.
There's a few exceptions, but they're the ones advocating most vocally for the heinous shit, not just the money making shit.
thiel is , and craven is more like mcconnel, behind the scences evil.
Exactly.
He's not insane until rich dude's yacht money and 401ks start tanking.
Before that diagnosable criteria, he doesn't meet the DSM V threshold for magalomanical genocidal fascist.
'Results inconclusive'
EDIT 'magalomaniacal' was a typo, but it fits, so it stays. Hopefully it'll be in thr DSM 6.
