What's also crazy is that there are people lining up saying "Surely that won't also happen to me."

His fallout with RFK JR and Musk is gonna be epic.

I still haven't decided if making Leon and Vivek Co leads of DOGE is a dig at Leon or Vivek. I'm sure Leon thinks he's the "real" lead.

actually the people coming back know that he demands loyalty. they might have to sell part of their soul to be loyal, but they know that up front and are committed to doing it.

It's crazy that most of the country looked at that and said either "I want that" or "That's fine, I don't care".

[-] jettrscga@lemmy.world 79 points 1 month ago

They didn't look at that. This is the frustrating truth we have to come to terms with. People are fucking oblivious. They vote for a single issue at most, and don't understand what they signed up for.

[-] Sabin10@lemmy.world 57 points 1 month ago

It's almost like someone has been systematically dismantling your education system for 50 or so years so they could reach this point.

[-] Good_morning@lemmynsfw.com 26 points 1 month ago

Right, the single issue voters that picked a color (likely due to family) and kept to it the rest of their lives

[-] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 26 points 1 month ago

It's brexit mentality. People voted for change from the status quo.

Most don't imagine that change ~~will~~ could make their lives worse.

[-] Zink@programming.dev 10 points 1 month ago

Yeah, oblivious sums it up. Despite all the stuff that’s happened, and all the information and video evidence that’s readily available to anybody who cares enough to look at it, their team is their team. If you fancy yourself a smart responsible Christian, especially a white one, your ignorant ass is just a Republican.

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 8 points 1 month ago

The amount of people who are horrified now that they've had tariffs explained to them is.. depressingly high.

They didn't wanna look up what a tarrif was before voting for Mr. Tariffs?

A large chunk of the population gets their info from Fox News and News Max etc. Many of my extended family unfortunately. They think that is reliable information and can't be convinced otherwise. When I try to bring up facts they give me this look like I'm the crazy one spreading the lies. It's a really sad state of affairs, they are genuinely good people otherwise. I think there are too many assumptions that people just wanted what we're about to get.

[-] Kalysta@lemm.ee 7 points 1 month ago

Sorry no. If they voted for trump they’re not good people. They’re either assholes or too stupid to be making decisions for the country.

Anyone who votes for mass deportation is not a good person. Anyone who votes to take away health care from a huge chunk of the population is also not a good person.

Stephen fucking Miller is tapped to return. The administration is shaping up to be more detestable than I could imagine. I’m waiting to see where the bottom goes from Betsy DeVoes as secretary of edu

[-] ThirdWorldOrder@lemm.ee 35 points 1 month ago

I’m thinking the shaman guy for secretary of education

[-] inv3r510n@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

I’ll be disappointed if he doesn’t pick him

[-] RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 1 month ago

You mean the secretary of dismantling education.

.4. He didn't pay them.

[-] rebelsimile@sh.itjust.works 37 points 1 month ago

In his defense, he probably has some members of his family returning to positions in the white house.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 35 points 1 month ago

Remember when he said he knew the best people before he chose his cabinet for his first term?

[-] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 29 points 1 month ago

I love that his biggest criticism of Biden was that he doesn't fire anyone. Firing someone means you failed to pick the right candidate. Biden didn't fire anyone because he made good choices. Trump always has to fire people because he has no judgement of character. He just goes with whoever compliments him in that moment.

[-] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 month ago

as a non american in America I've come to find that's an American egregore: that firing people means you're a good leader.

[-] Doomsider@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

Nope, you are confusing Dumps reality TV show with actual reality. I guess it does get a little confusing as his whole presidency seems to be a parody. People who voted for him truly are some of the stupidest human beings to ever exist.

[-] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

I've heard it as a criticism of Peter Thiel and others, and, as a manager edging towards director, I get asked about it in interviews too

[-] Doomsider@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

In real life firing means you made the wrong pick and is not looked upon as a good thing unless you are a sociopath. I suppose if you came into a company to clean house some would view it as correct but they are probably shareholders who have perverse incentives.

Long story short, Americans don't generally like bosses and don't approve of firings unless it is obvious the choice was correct, for instance firing someone who is toxic.

Having had to fire someone as a director myself I would think it strange to be brought up in an interview and probably a red flag.

I was hoping the Never Trumpers, those scorned by Trump, and the Democrats could come together and say "We can't let Trump or anyone like him happen again."

But that would have made sense...

I get the first two. Who did he try to have killed?

Hey, congratulations on forgetting him, anyway. Can’t wait for the day I do.

[-] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago

You know how there is that meme of "Epstein didn't kill himself?"

I'm 99% sure Trump had a hand in it due to him being held in a federal prison and having plenty of dirt on him.

And the other was Pence on Jan. 6th when refusing to get into the secret service car until the results were certified.

[-] FourPacketsOfPeanuts@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago
[-] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

The reason I can't forget that is because there were three reasons he didn't get in the car.

  1. He took his position seriously and would certify the vote.
  2. One of his secret service personnel told him directly "Do not get in that car, Mr. Vice President."
  3. The secret service that showed up with the car wasn't Pence's detail, it was Trump's.
[-] Revan343@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 month ago

No so much directly as encouraged his supporters to.

Rhymes with "bang my fence"
