Sure, but have you considered that Kamala had a weird laugh
Musk will light your taxes on fire. Obama was huge on deportation. Kamala is a gun owner. OK, why won't you vote for Kamala then? "I just don't like her. She laughs weird." I couldn't believe it, but it shouldn't shock me. How do you even keep going after that?
It wasn't really about the laugh.
Yea, some of them also noticed she is a minority and a woman. Sadly our country has not accepted those groups are just as capable as white men to lead a country.
Maybe the broligarchy currently in charge will finally disabuse people of the notion of white male superiority. Maybe…

I remember reading that immigration groups called Obama the deporter in chief. Trump wishes he could get a nickname that would go that hard with his base.

This is such a stupid argument and I wouldn’t believe it if it wasn’t for my dad. He keeps talking about her laugh and I explain to him that it’s appropriate to express all emotions…. And he doesn’t believe it. He’s also unable to connect me being in therapy and his behavior.
The statistics of who stayed home VS who voted for a white man with the same policies (older white men/women and older hispanic men) shows most of the votes lost are from Kamala being a colored woman and our most bigoted groups responding accordingly.

Also, those dumbass's who think a woman can't be president.
Unfortunately that includes a lot of women, making it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
My mom will still tell you that things would be much worse if Harris had won. Can't say how, but she doesn't hear the sarcasm when I suggest we'd all be learning Mandarin online while recovering from forced gender reassignment surgery and seems to consider that a legitimate possibility.

Americans will delude themselves into thinking Harris lost because of identity politics all the way to the concentration camps.

So here's the fucking thing.
The crisis is already here. Go take a peak at the ports on the west coast right now. Go look at business forecasts.
This man systematically destroyed a working economy in a business quarter.
The repercussions of these actions are going to be felt for at least a decade.
They will be felt for the rest of the century.
Totally agreed.
These people literally are destroying the pre eminent power and completely usurping centuries old historical power hierarchies seemingly for the benefit of shorting the markets on their own whim.
As if those dollars they earn will be worth anything when hyperinflation hits.

Is he that stupid that he really beleives his plan will work? Or is he so afraid of Putin's kompromat that he'll destroy his own country in order to keep it hidden?
Why not both?
He is the dictator of the US. This is how he extracts every last cent possible from the working class to fund tax breaks and handouts for the ultra-wealthy. Accountability is not a factor for someone like this who has lived his whole life with no accountability and continually failed upward to the highest office. He "doesn't need your vote" anymore, he is there and he's not planning on leaving this time no matter what the voters say.

Absolutely, have you seen any sign of high intelligence coming from tRump?
Or is he so afraid of Putin’s kompromat that he’ll destroy his own country in order to keep it hidden?
I am increasingly doubting this. Do you really think a tape of some prostitutes pissing on him would change anything at this stage?
I also do not buy the notion tRump is a russian asset because he is just too stupid to be recruited... he is too stupid to be easily manipulated though.
His stupidity, at full and constant display and perfectly complimentary of the USA's population ignorance, is more than enough to explain where we are and far far more likely than any other theories...
It is both. There is no reason to copitulate to Russia unless the Kompromat is that good.
In the Fantastic Four comics, Dr. Doom wears a mask because he was hideously deformed by a science experiment gone wrong. Later writers retroconned it so that Doom had a tiny scratch but was so insanely egotistical that a tiny flaw was too much for him to bear.
I like to think that the kompromat is something like Trump having premature ejaculation or erectile dysfunction, or crying that his Daddy didn't love him. Something a normal person could shrug off and move on from.
Dr Doom is a Jack Kirby creation and I've been living with the realization that as a forward scout for the US Army in Nazi Germany, many of his villains are reflections of what he witnessed the Nazis to be. Whatever Dr Doom is, I'm fully ready to understand 47 to be as well
You know who else was a forward scout in WW2?
Kurt Vonnegut! Billy Pilgrim runs into a pair of them before he gets captured by the Germans in "Slaughterhouse Five."
That was one of the most dangerous jobs in the infantry, because your mission was to locate enemy troops far ahead of any support.
yup. and both of them would explore how deeply terrifying it was being forward scouts through their art, and particularly how being an artist made them valuable as scouts

It's not kompromat. It's flattery. "You're such a good boy, Donald!" is doing a lot more here than you realize.

brink of a crisis
Ummm I don't think the meaning of a crisis is understood anymore. Brink implies risking a crisis, where the usa has been in a full on crisis on many fronts for about 100 days. I would even say that they are past the initial crisis point and are getting way to cocky this far into a multi pronged collapse.

All to plan
Not even. Him and Elon biffed every other form of autocratic guidance that laid out steps to take.
Cutis Yarvin is furious at how incompetent Musk and Torange have been. By 100 days in they should have been drowning journalists in foam. They haven't even hit 50% of Project 2025 progress.
Rank amateur bitches. Can't even do authoritarianism well.

Let your local magats know how you feel since this is what they wanted. The business owner ones even made it easy to figure out who they are over on their Nazi safe space at public square
Trump’s promise? I don’t remember him promising much anything at all until the very tail end of the campaign, and even then it was kinda offhand. OTOH, the troll farms were in absolute overdrive talking about eggs, groceries, worthless higher education, gas prices (even though they are higher now) and of course bashing Harris over tons of things that weren’t even jobs she had the authority to do.
