I like your optimism, but I won't put my hopes in it.

Trump has shown that he is completely unhinged this time, he is out for blood and plenty of it.

this time?

Y'all really forgetting the first term that quickly?

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago

His worst demeanor of the first term is the his new status quo...he's speed running destruction now. The overton window is shifting so far right, his first term is going to look dead center

Everything he's done thus far has been at the behest of someone else.

Thank you! Has no one else noticed he's clearly on a leash now?! He not spewing toddler nonsense 20 times a day, hardly speaking in public, all that?

Has no one noticed how much more efficient his government is this time?
