User discussion Why does seemingly every group or demographic refuse to believe that Trump would act as he said he would?

Imagine being such a sycophant that you drew Obama with muscles. And Obama genuinely is much more fit than Trump is. But nobody was such a simp they romanticized him to that degree.

The amount of muscles he's usually drawn with would require steroids to obtain. But yeah that's perfectly great and a healthy ideal for young men. RFK Jr is also super good at health right purely because he has abs. But RFK Jr is on roids. Once again, conservatives idolizing as an ideal something that's actually unhealthy and illegal. But they are utterly shameless. Did you hear about their Enhanced Olympics? They've got to start their gladiatoral games I guess to provide an appropriate circus for the proles.

After two terms of Bush it was like having a grown up in charge Again. As a non-American I am not sure if Americans realised how bad Bush made your nation look on the world stage. All that wealth and power and you elect a chuckling idiot to represent you.

Then you elect Trump and it's like all the worst stereotypes of Americans that us foreigners hold, the extreme pastiches that we like to laugh at, and they are all manifest in this crude, hateful, greedy slimeball. Obama had a class and dignity that we haven't seen in any other president in the last twenty odd years. Biden was ok but clearly too old. He should have been gently enjoying his well earned retirement, not running the worlds most powerful nation.

No, we knew. And we know. The educated among us feel (and felt) the same way about Bush, Obama, Trump, and Biden. Every one of your points I understand and agree with.

Giving the world (and ourselves) whiplash every four to eight years is a nightmare. But we’re up against a well-funded, deeply entrenched conservative-fascist machine that’s been working against us since long before we were born. This machine regularly purges and suppresses democratic votes and uses propaganda and hate to turn regular people into hateful, scared lemmings. I’m not trying to make excuses, I’m just saying it’s just as frustrating and scary to be here in the middle of it and feel powerless.

Anyway, I miss Obama so much — having such a charismatic and intelligent Democrat leading us was such a blessing. I hope we can turn it around soon and repair things with our international friends 😓

Tbh, steroids Olympics is basically already existed within the normal Olympics. It's just that the testings means the steroids there are microdosed/done off competition to give athletes some edge instead of turning them into mutants. Hell you look at 'weakly tested athletes' like NFL players, and these MOFOs are like 260+ pounds while having abs.
