    This article should be tagged NSFL because reading these cretins more or less claim no one could have possibly known what Trump was going to do nearly triggered a stroke and aneurysm in me.

      Well, yeah - it was a giant freakin’ mystery on account of how he kept saying what he was going to do. Also the party plan of hundreds of specific things he said he didn’t know anything about but that was a fucking lie? So confusing bro.

        It makes sense if you look at it from Trump’s financial backers Dark Enlightenment philosophy. It involves the mimetic theory of creating a scapegoat. So Trump dismantles democracy and triggers the collapse of the United States, is then scapegoated and removed by way of 25th amendment, then the Dark Enlightenment “Chosen One” JD Vance establishes the new patchwork of technomonarchy city-states from the ashes of civilization. Seems a bit rushed, I think they underestimated the amount of effort it would take to destroy the country.

          Yeah, though - counterpoint - trump couldn’t think his way out of a wet paper bag, and is famous for blurting out the exact crime he’s committing.
