Dont forget the folks that are simply ignorant and/or too lazy to care about basic civics because they're too busy watching football and make decisions solely based on memes or hearsay.
It's the lazy, uninformed, racist and misogynistic voter that put him over the top.
And that includes dems not showing up for the same reasons.
Eamus Catuli~AC 000000000101010202020303010304 020405....Ahhhh, forget it, it's gonna be a while.
And let's give an honorable mention to Fox News (as well as its many copycat spawn) who have been lying to and misleading their viewers for many years.They have collectively done untold damage to this country. Even after Fox was forced to pay the better part of a billion dollars for lying about a stolen or rigged election, trump and his cult STILL believe those lies.

I don't think we mere mortals can fathom the vastness of his ego. He's been saying whatever he wants for so long without consequence that it's untethered him from reality.
... On Tuesday night he was at it again, writing on Truth Social: “The water is flowing, big time, in Northern California. The long empty reservoirs will soon be full. Thank you President Trump!!!”
The California Department of Water Resources on Tuesday fact-checked his claims, making clear that the military did not enter the state.
“The federal government restarted federal water pumps after they were offline for maintenance for three days,” it posted on X, formerly Twitter....
The state has disputed Trump’s allegations about the volume of water available, pointing out that there is no issue.
This is what happens when his adoring cultists like SoupySales and 1 FAT CAN never hold him accountable for the routine lies and sickening self-promotion.

President Donald Trump took to social media on Thursday night to threaten 10 more countries with tariffs if they replace the U.S. dollar as their reserve currency.
“The idea that the BRICS Countries are trying to move away from the Dollar, while we stand by and watch, is OVER,” he wrote in a post on Truth Social. “We are going to require a commitment from these seemingly hostile Countries that they will neither create a new BRICS Currency, nor back any other Currency to replace the mighty U.S. Dollar or, they will face 100% Tariffs.”
Always a victim, it's the MAGA way.
... In late November, Trump posted almost the exact same threat verbatim against the BRICS countries, a term that was originally coined to describe the emerging economies of Brazil, Russia, India and China.
They’ve since formed an official international organization that also includes South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, the United Arab Emirates and Indonesia.
An exchange with a reporter at the Oval Office on Jan. 20 revealed Trump didn’t even know which countries were in BRICS.
Riiiight, like those 10 countries would ever agree on a common currency in 1000 years. Seems to me that the bigger threat to the dollar is the crypto that POTUS Elon embraces and DonOLD has recently become a convert to. Hmmm.
Donny, are you ok? You seem erratically angry these days.

... Linking to a Fox News clip of host Mark Levin titled, “Democrats are ‘shredding the Constitution,’” Trump backed Levin’s complaints.
“Democrats are purposefully delaying virtually all of my Nominees. No matter how good and well qualified someone is, they are taking maximum time for approval — and laughing about it. They’re having a good time at the Country’s expense and safety," Trump wrote.
“If George Washington and Abraham Lincoln were nominated for a position, the Democrats would take it out to the last moment before having to approve.
We definitely should take our time with dead nominees.
It is disgraceful! They can’t get over the landslide loss suffered in the Presidential Election.
Again, a 1.5% plurality is NOT a "landslide". DonOLD is making SoupySales embarrass himself.
But the Democrats don’t understand, with what they’re doing, that their losses will only get greater. Republicans must GET TOUGH — AND MUST GET TOUGH VERY FAST. We need our Nominees NOW, for the Safety and Good of our Country!"...
He's a goddamn lunatic. Weird how the elite Republicans cowtow to him and twist themselves in knots justifying themselves. It's like twilight zone shit.

For a lot of these people, their political affiliation/MAGA is deeply ingrained in their very identity. Some of them seem to have a weird parasocial relationship with Trump. His successes and failures are their successes and failures. It looks that way when you see them replying to his tweets and what not as well. Or even when they try to interpret some of his stupid decisions. Like they're casting prayers into the ether to some deity. How do you even break free of that?

Ideally you nip it in the bud. But we're way past that. The goddamn Republican Senators could have fixed it so that this moron was never able to hold office again but they instead chose to side with the juvenile minded moron and his white trash ignorant cult. Mitch McConnell will go down in history for what he was; a spineless coward willing to do anything for power. Unless the trump cult manages to erase even more history.
Go watch the latest press conference with Netanyahu. Trump mentions the US will take over the Gaza strip and make it part of the US.
Does the dude seem like he's losing his mind? Literally. Seems like he's really spaced out. Not to mention the batshit insane proposition of the US annexing the Gaza strip.

I am totally opposed to this idea of"taking over" Gaza. The U.S. a has habit of attempting nation building and it just doesn't work out, especially in an Arab country. We don't understand they do not think with western ideals. The Palestinians will not accept it.
Let's face it. The reason other Arab nations desire a two state solution is they don't want any part of the Palestinians. Never have in thousands of years. They would prefer those folks remain Israel's problem.

I think most of them boycotted the race rather than vote for TRE45QN.
