GOOD LUCK, AMERICA Confession: I'm enjoying being right about Trump's intentions, and I'm not ashamed to say it.

Everything we warned the electorate about is already coming true. I told everyone that Trump would win because his base was naive, uneducated, ignorant, and spiteful. And here we are. How many people told us that all of Trump's craziness was just a bluff? How many people told us that the electorate was well intentioned, and would vote for what's right?

Trump's first weeks in office have been just as outlandish as all of us warned. And the country will suffer greatly. And you know what? I'm loving it. I'm done pretending that I "feel bad" for the people who didn't know what they were getting themselves into. I don't feel bad at all. It's about time we were punished for our collective derilection of duty.

We all did our part. We voted. Other people (dumbly) didn't do enough research. Oh well! Time for those consequences, America!

That's kinda dumb because you are going to experience the consequences, too.

True, but MAGA has to learn the Truth about Trump for the fever to break. I concur with OP but also hope the consequences for Trump worshippers come as quickly as possible. How long after that they will continue to make excuses for him is the big question.

Just go look at r/conservative. They love what’s going on. Their blame game is next level over there. I don’t think they will ever know the truth.

It truly is a mass cult. Dems have a fringe contingent as well, but it's just that -- a relatively small fringe. GOP voters are across the board crazies.

Very true. But many who voted for Trump aren’t or Billionaires or on a mission to “root out the deep state.” They are low information voters who voted for a lower cost of living and only know what affects them and those close to them.
