You don't understand most of what is said here Mothra.
I understand what is said, Jasin. It's not hard. It's base conspiracy theories and even baser hero worship of wannabe iconoclasts.
What i will never understand is why. I mean surely, lack of education can't account for it all.
Be assured, i'm not asking you directly. You're an outlier.
It’s genuinely fascinating to observe.
After typical elections, the interlude between crowning the president-elect and the inauguration is usually dominated by discussions about their policies: how they’ll achieve them, whether the opposition will cooperate, and what the tangible outcomes might look like for the electorate.
You simply can’t have that discussion with 45.
There’s no coherent policy framework to unpack. Beyond tariffs, which 45’s own base will end up footing the bill for, and cuts to essential services they rely upon (while leaving subsidies for billionaires like Musk untouched), the agenda is essentially a massive wealth transfer via tax cuts for the rich.
These aren’t exactly the kinds of talking points that bolster 45’s image.
Instead, we’re inundated with threads like, “Is 45 the Most Powerful POTUS of ALL TIME?”
It’s a deliberately leading question, designed to sideline substantive debate. Any response that doesn’t align with Scoot’s narrative is dismissed outright as “fake news” or derided as the product of the mainstream media.
Even in victory, there’s an almost pathological desperation to stifle meaningful policy discussions in favour of distractions.
As I said, it's interesting to observe.
I wonder how long it will take for them to default back to full-blown victimhood and claim the establishment is out to get them still.
News flash, you ARE the establishment now.
