What? Trump isn't doing shit by himself. He's got a plethora of zealots and other Nazis carrying out the entire Project 2025 plan. He's got tens of millions of zealot voters rabidly defending everything their dictator is doing.
And that’s the thing a lot of people don’t understand. Trump is the figurehead for a whole movement. That’s the scary part.
He doesn’t have that much support for his actions. He just lives in a country where nearly everyone does nothing to stop him. You aren’t. I’m not. I’ll bet no one here is doing anything besides screaming. Maybe that used to work, but it’s not now. Republicans at Idaho protests are literally telling the crowd “your voice doesn’t matter”
And they’re right.
It's simply inaccurate to say that Trump and Musk still doesn't have popular support. You're in too much of an echo chamber if you think that everyone's against them right now. The vast majority of his voter base is tap dancing in glee.
I never said everyone. Maybe stop hallucinating the conversation.
