It's one of our long-held national double standards: IOKIYAR (It's OK If You're A Republican). The last GOP President with any sense of shame was Nixon.
In fact, Trump being an actual living cartoon villain might be the whole problem. People see this ranting lunatic on the news all the time, acting like something they've only ever seen in cartoons or particularly bad movies, and can't bring themselves to fully believe it's real because they've been told over and over that people like that only exist in cartoons and particularly bad movies, and only someone who still thinks like a child would believe otherwise. So their brain makes up a different version of him who acts more like the mature adult they're conditioned to believe everyone over 25 or so automatically is.
Is it any wonder his most vocal opponents are us millennials, who suffer from arrested development more than any other generation in recorded history?

in other words, it has EVERYTHING to do with him.

Trump Claims Project 2025 Nothing to Do With Him: ‘Abysmal’
The 900-page conservative wish-list includes a massive abortion crackdown. Now Trump claims he knows nothing about it, but his opposition says differently.
FB friend:
Trump himself isn't the real major problem. Yes, he's a convicted felon, a racist, misogynistic, pathologically lying, narcissistic pile of festering jive, but if he gets back in, he'll make a few speeches and then hug off to his golf courses again in between grifts and publicity stunts. The major issue is who he'll bring with him into power. He'll flood the system with his sycophants, who in turn will bring their sycophants and followers. That's where the real problems will come from.
Of course, that still means keeping Trump out is the first step towards the country not sliding further into fascism.

He did explicitly pledge to declare himself dictator on his first day on the job. Granted, I don't know how he expects to reconcile that with his desire to not have any responsibilities; maybe he'll establish a new legislature to replace Congress that consists only of the members of it that he liked, plus anyone he liked who didn't win.
No, because that's actual WORK, and trump doesn't put in effort. He's going to order his lickspittles to do that for him.
This is literally what I've been saying about trump for years: he's the organ grinders monkey, the thing we're SUPPOSED to pay attention to. We really do need to figure out whom the pickpocket in this dynamic is.
Who's rich enough to get his attention, willing to flatter him into compliance, and smart enough to escape the public eye while doing it? And has an agenda to push without any concern over who else it'll ruin in the process?
I wish that list wasn't so expensive.

We know that. Heritage Foundation, Leonard Leo, Harlan Crow . . .
These individuals, their ilk, and their money have been pushing for what Trump delivered to them for decades. It's not an individual, it is absolutely a cabal of intensely rich psychotics who expect the nation to bow before their money and the power that comes from it.
They've been laying the foundation for Trump since Reagan. Honestly, it's telling just how much of their success comes when they hire outside political circles. They've clearly realized that celebrities are easier to elect than their politicians.
A Trump Ally Is Training 75 Armed Citizens. Is That a Militia?
The leader of a New York City suburb is recruiting 75 armed citizens, many of them former police officers, for a force of “special deputies” to be activated whenever he chooses. Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, a Republican who has allied himself with former President Donald Trump and...
even if Biden stumbles across the finish line in November they're not going to accept the results.
Hell, the harder they try to fight back, the better, in my opinion. An insurgency serious enough to merit military action to put it down means less redcaps I'll have to share the planet with. Dare I even hope for a redo of the Civil War where the modern-day Benjamin Wades and Thaddeus Stevenses end up in charge when it's over instead of another Andrew Johnson?
They were NEVER going to accept the results. Just like last time. But this time they don't have their orange cancer holding back the responders.
consequences do not exist for him.
Trump's also going to give Meta huge tax breaks if he wins.
