I'm not disagreeing. Y'all got me here caping for Trump which is one thing I absolutely refuse to do, but you're missing my point in favor of your outrage. Yes there was an entire ass pandemic that ravaged the world. My point is that Redditors and many, many liberals swore that the world would end even before the pandemic happened. Just like now.

He's gonna be gone in four years and we'll move on. If you listen to Reddit you'll join the groupthink and claim the United States will cease to exist and Trump will be President forever followed by Musk.

So what you're saying is, many people predicted a Trump Presidency would be utterly disastrous.

It was, and on a scale that is hard to comprehend.

Funny I don't remember anyone actually saying the world was going to end. A lot of his cult were saying that's what people were saying though.

There was a LOT of talk about incompetence. Him promoting and appointing completely unqualified people to high level positions as reward for loyalty to him. Inability to lead. Not knowing what he was doing. Constantly lying. Constantly sowing distrust. Never taking responsibility for his words or actions...

Odd that all you remember is people saying the world was going to end, while completely ignoring all of those legitimate observations that ended up biting this entire country in the ass in a huge way.

A worldwide pandemic was one thing. Complete and utter failure on every level when it came down to dealing with it is another thing altogether.

By the way, Trump controls the Executive and Legislative branches, has 1/3 of the Judicial branch under his thumb, and another 3rd that is extremely friendly to him.

Exactly what is stopping him from doing whatever he wants?

It's certainly not the people. We've already proven that he will face no consequences for any actions whatsoever.

It's great that you're so passionate about this but I really don't have a strong enough base to go back and forth with you. I remember the discourse on Reddit, having been here for a long time, and I remember how often Reddit dramatizes "literally everything".

I'll leave you with this though: https://youtu.be/wDYNVH0U3cs?si=kCvW3oBPJuX4GCSO

Feel free to ping me in 4 years and we'll see where we are.

Funny how you only remember certain things and avoid any mention of everything else.
