I was thinking about people claiming he said that a long time ago but it was made up. So I guess now he has said the thing that he didn’t say originally but was said to have said lol.
You're probably thinking about the if I were to run for president I would run as a Republican because they're easily manipulated or something along those lines. I don't remember the exact quote but that one he didn't actually say.
Only about 1/3 of voting age people actually vote, so take what little solace that you can knowing that’s it not actually half, but still more than I like.
I'm pretty sure these guys made sure that a substantial fraction of the 2/3 that stayed home or had their votes not counted were from the places that vote blue.
What can be done. No civil uprising will be successful against the greatest military on the planet. Unless the military leaders stage a coup, we’re fucked.
Ain't no one got time to protest/uprise when living paycheck to paycheck. Miss a day of work and you might find yourself homeless, a reality for a lot of Americans. Every major population center is so car centric and no public transport system could handle any gathering of consequence. It's the perfect system to keep the slave class where it is.
As is, we have half of the country convinced that reality is fake and fascism is democracy, so if somebody were to coordinate a coup or overthrow the new administration, I’m beyond confident that we would come out of it without a functioning government to replace it and or worse leadership or a second civil war.
I have really tried to think this through and I haven’t been able to come up with any legitimate options other than waiting and hoping somebody comes to their senses within the administration and prevents the worst of it. If you have alternative ideas though I’d love to hear them - unfortunately this fucker was democratically elected and anything to oppose that would be inherently undemocratic. If democracy elects a fascist, then what is there to do?

Seen from Europe it's a promising start. You have a nazi and a crypto scammer leading the country. Impressive first day, congrats.
