A very effective and succinct breakdown of the cognitive dissonance that “Republicans” and “Conservatives” have when it comes to Donald Trump.
I grew up in an actual Republican family to parents that were actually Conservatives. Donald Trump is neither of those things. Neither are his supporters.

Watching two Millennials talk about Bitcoin like it’s a rational and sensible investment vehicle is so cringey.
In this interview, Luke Kawa spews a word salad that boils down to: people panic and sell when things go down, and speculation and hype makes it go up.
Well, duh. 🤦

It’s my sentiment that a lot of Americans that voted for Trump never really understood how American government or macroeconomics worked, or why the global system was a massive asset to America.
So when Trump and the GOP decided to break it all, the couldn’t tell the difference.

100%. Stop hoping for a miracle or the fever to break. It’ll never happen. Ever.
When are folks going to learn that nothing will ever shake some peoples’ support for this man? Like, stop asking what the breaking point is—there isn’t one.
Not 34 felonies, 40,000 lies, an attempted coup, a jury finding him liable for sex abuse-nothing.
Because to admit any of it means 1/2

I’m sorry for the generation that has to grow up and only know this fucked up, twisted and disgusting version of America that Republicans are forging.
It’s America in name only. They never understood or gave a shit about the America that actually stood for good things that mattered.

How’s the #edit button coming along?
Curious how many gazillion unnecessary posts, API calls, DB queries and ecosystem bandwidth would be saved by adding this?
Threads does it. Every user here I know is desperate for it.

This is how America will lose the next war. And it will more than likely be with China. Why? Because Trump is an idiot that doesn’t understand how things work, and Hegseth is completely out of his depth and making decisions based solely on arrogance and personal ideology.

Do not fall for Marjorie Taylor Greene’s “new attitude.” It’s just campaigning. Populism. Retribution. Never a genuine redemption arc. Just BS to gain power.

Oh please, people, stop buying this nonsense that suddenly she’s making sense and is worthy of praise. It’s ludicrous that people are now apparently giving her a pass after all the horrific things she has done to our country.
No forgiveness for that woman, EVER.

A cautionary note in light of yesterday’s election result:
We are NOWHERE NEAR out of the woods. Yes, the results were a silver lining, but Trumpists still control the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches.
Our Congress is broken. The Court is deluded.
There is still a LOT of work to do.
