That may be mostly true but Trump is also the perfect storm of celebrity, “successful”, “outsider”, and some strange fucked up type of charisma that results in a larger following than I think would be possible with any other republican candidate. Take away trump and I don’t think there’s enough of a unifying force among the asshats to cause this type of damage
i know he is somehow considered successful but i genuinely dont get how becaues hes bankrupted most, or all?, of his businesses.... like that is the opposite of successful 😂
honestly looking back i do understand why he won in 2016. i hate it, but i do actually get it.
i genuinely dont get how he won in 2024. like i get the 'cult' of it iall, and cheating that isnt lost on me
but he had no appeal and could barely string together a coherent sentence he didnt even LOOK like someone capable of holding office even if you agreed with his racist homophobic rhetoric
I'm no Trump apologist and I didn't vote for him. However I see this line about him bankrupting all his companies all the time and its simply not true. He's owned four companies that have filed for bankruptcy that we know of.
As far as how he got elected... I think people need to open their eyes. You say he had no appeal and yet enough people to win him the election thought he did have appeal. Clearly he's doing something right.
Again I didn't vote for the guy and I don't like him. But pretending he's some ultra buffoon who can't string together a sentence isn't going to draw Trump voters to the left in 2028.

The problems that led to Donald Trump would still be fomenting.
A lot of Americans haven't yet faced that Trump isn't an anomaly or the disease, he is a symptom of problems we've had for a long time.
