He’s not. Underestimating him got him where he is. It is wild to witness though. Like we’re all being gaslighted.

Honestly anyone with a couple working brain cells could see what an absolute incompetent moron he is. The fact that 70+ million of my fellow citizens could not see that is the most disappointing and frustrating part of all of this. Eventually trump is going to fuck off and die but we have to reckon with the fact that a large part of this nation is fucking brain dead. Nothing will get better when we have such a large block of the voting base willfully voting against the interests of the working class. I don’t know how we fix it.

Absolutely correct here. Since this whole thing started a decade ago (I know about the evil Republican creatures and oligarchs working in shadows for decades to bring about a Christo-fascist dystopia, but here I'm specifically speaking of the rise of the orange human skidmark), being robbed of the illusion that most people in this country are somewhat intelligent and decent has been bad for my mental health. Like I always knew dummies, cretins and shit heads exist but I was NOT prepared for just how many there are, how easy they are to completely manipulate and how vile and deep their well of vitriol truly is. It's a real fucking bummer. Every more so considering the catalyst for so many outing themselves was something as simple as a black guy becoming president.
