He's doing largely what Project 2025 outlined. I'm not sure why anyone is surprised

It's because they're stupid
Legit, something I heard from a trump voter after the election: yeah, I heard about Project 2025 and I hate it. But this election was to get trump into office, I'll vote against Project 2025 in 2025.
headdesk
and he said he was campaigning on it, why are is his constituents surprised.
Why is the american electorate too dumb to understand both democrats and republicans are financed by the same oligarchs? What’s so complicated about it?
Because political ttibalsim is marketed to keep us from ganging up on the rich. And because the " just following orders" crowd doesn't realize they're the ones thtabget left holding bag and their bosses get away.
sports team, celebrity worship was created to achieve the same thing, political tribalism in the early days, those were the foundation.
Yep. Bread and circuses.
As an American, I can attest that Americans as a whole are pretty stupid when it comes to politics. In our defense, we're fed a steady diet of misinformation and propaganda from shortly after birth, and we don't have the benefit of often encountering different cultural and political perspectives like Europeans do. We do have ready access to information, but being educated is actively frowned upon in many circles. It's a solid swath of homogenous stupid here, coast to coast.
Yes they are funded by the same billionaires and will never go against that class. But they are not the same. The latest Republican Party is now so corrupt, anti constitutionalist and working against the people. They are not the same.
Corruption light and Corruption heavy. I have clear preferences if given the choice.
Uniparty, basically, outside of Maga, THE OLD Guard of both parties work together making backdoor deals.

Here's your answer. Ask yourself why the admins on lemmy world act like dumbocrat groupies
No you see when the dems bombs civilians it's a bipartisan issue, it doesn't matter. Nobody's fault, really
culture wars my friend, the right has the propaganda apparatus set up to say our way is better, there is no other way, oh and "we also want you to LOOK over here and hate these xyz people, instead of looking at what rich people are doing behind the scenes"
"the right" sigh…
Trump is doing exactly what he said he was going to do when American voters gave him all the power and took it away from the democrats.
You do realize that there are people who did not vote for him?
That always gets me with these kinds of comments too. It's like they are telling us we deserve this because we voted for it but almost half of the people that voted wanted something else. That's a whole lot of people who didn't want it.
I guess when you are talking to the void on the Internet you can aim your anger at whoever you want. We are just caught in the cross hairs
And it's not like it's going to be much better depending where you live in a lot of countries that are democracies(itself not so great under capitalism). Like what happened in the USA can happen and did happen in other countries to especially where fascist and authoritarian tendencies are on the rise.
This Perspektive also ignores bigger causes like media companies, systems of opression, political campaigns, lobbying groups and we'll people in power protecting their interests as well as the state, that can form and influence what becomes public opinion. And we'll far right fascist groups and their billionaires building this up for quite a while now.
Point being these developments are complicated and blaming the average American for trump's victory ignores the larger picture especially when you see people from Europe calling Americans stupid and thinking that an authoritarian takeover could never happen here in western eurooe. To that where just a few years behind but it is a very real possibility.
If the dems didn't bomb civilians they might had won. Their opposition was a rapist

Which is the majority, if you count those that voted for Kamala = ~75 million, and those that did not vote = ~90 million.

If they only would remember this at the next election. If there is a next election...
the elected GOP are laughing in the voters faces, because they know you voted for this and will vote for them in the future, no use getting mad now, you brought this upon yourselves. Also the non-voters(those who sat at home out of protest or dint bother voting, or dint even know there was eleciton going on)
Dear Constituents,
Until you ignorant cunts stop voting down party lines, you don't get to act angry, shocked, surprised, disappointed.
It's the party stupid.
