The part that chaps my ass about this is.... The damage is already done. Trump can not get voted in again. He's on his second term, of two max.
So all of this shit is too little too late. You fucked up. You fucked everything up. And now you realize the guy is a piece of shit because he won't release a list of rich people who are paedophiles and rapists? A list he's very likely to be on?
This is the line?
Holy shit. Of all the terrible stuff he said he would do, and all of the terrible stuff he actually has done..... And you fucks put him in the office again.
And this is the point where you finally stop supporting him?
Honestly, I'm a bit relieved at the current situation, because I wasn't nearly as certain he was done. With incidents like January 6th, all the claims of voter fraud, his clear abuse of systems like presidential pardons and executive orders, I really thought Trump had a genuine chance of overturning the 2-term limit and twisting the US into a bona fide dictatorship.
I'm relieved to see his astounding incompetence finally reaping results in his polling numbers again and again, because it's breaking the spell he seemed to have over half the country. Hell, it's even breaking the allure of fascism in the elections of other countries at this point. His gross incompetence during this presidency is single-handedly moving the whole world a little more to the left.
You overestimate his supporters long term memory. You're still only 6 months in, still 3.5 years left to go. Don't count your chickens before they hatch.
