Because he’s a useful tool of God!!!
Because wherever there are people with power, there are those who will do ANYTHING to gain access to that power. When there’s no mechanism to FORCE those with power to over the law, then they won’t, and their cronies will be insulated to some degree from consequences. Enough people (Congress) who could force consequences are the ones benefiting from Trump’s corruption and could suffer negative consequences for turning against Trump. A lot of those guys are very old and extremely unlikely to suffer consequences if the following administration is also Republican. It’s a big ugly tangle and unless somebody is willing to just arrest the Orange Jackass and all his ghouls, nothing will change.
- He is in to pockets of the wealthy
- This is a coup by the wealthy to takeover the government
- No one in government will stop him because this is exactly what they want.
- Money
- Money
You forgot 6: Money
And 7. They’re fucking immature assholes (in both senses)
AIPAC and a few dozen rich people tell the RNC, the DNC, the supreme court, and the president what to do.
The reason it seems like the democrats are complicit is because, at the leadership level, they are.
Schumer and Jeffries are pro genocide in Gaza and pro-ICE because their future plans for America also involve genocide.
Exactly. People keep going on and on about how democrats would never get away with this shit, it’s because that’s the role they play. They tall poppy the actual good people out of the system, and present themselves as the good option when the only other choice is a rampaging fascism.
Like, I get the frustration, but at this point if feels too in the nose to miss anymore. Like people are getting gunned down randomly in the streets, it’s not that complicated.
He’s enabled by some very wealthy people. And in the US wealth is more than just money, it’s often the most important factor in status, popularity, and social and political power.
Even some the people screaming for empathy, understanding, and improved social programs often look down upon the poor and homeless, they just hide it behind a veneer of doing good. They want to rid the nation of poverty not because it’s the right thing to do, but so that they aren’t confronted with the reality of what causes poverty and the guilt they feel when they pass by someone who’s panhandling.
Our nation’s version of original sin is productivity. If you’re alive, you must feed into the economic system, you must support yourself and not be a burden to others. If you’re successful and wealthy, it means all lessers sins (getting bailed out with tax money, wage theft and fraud, destroying the environment, prejudice, sexual predation, etc.) will be forgiven by at least half the nation. This effect is more profound for celebrity performers.
So, if you’re stable financially and not under a direct threat from the administration, you’re probably upset, but your focus is going to be on finding a way to get rid of Trump and get out of this mess without winding up POOR.
You want to know why so many federal workers are still doing their jobs despite being complicit in many of the awful things that are happening? Because they don’t have a way to pay the rent if they walk off the job. The job market is awful. The economy is in the shitter. Everything is super expensive, and they don’t want to let their families down. Want the military and federal agents to quit? Give them a guaranteed way to pay their mortgages. Find them another job.
It’s not just about luxuries and standards of living. It’s about social acceptance and beloning. People will go to insane lengths to feel like an accepted member of a group. So these workers may be unhappy, even deeply upset about the direction the country is headed in, but it’ll have to get worse before the sacrifice is worth it, because being in jail or being dead is only a little bit worse than being a poor person.
Same holds true for much of the rest of the nation. It’s hard to risk belonging, to risk being part of our society, when there’s no guarantee you won’t wind up homeless and a pariah because of it.
“If you don’t, someone else will.” But that only works when the population is so divided that they don’t trust the average replacement to hold your standards. And then of course be proven that the next person actually doesn’t hold the same standards.
Because the people who didn’t want him, have things to lose and are reluctant to upset their way of life in doing so. That’s the American Way, is to chain and distract the populace just enough where they’re interlocked in indecisiveness as to do or don’t. Please do not shit on these people, I’m absolutely sure if it was entirely worth it, we would’ve started the 2nd Revolution by now from this tyranny that has taken hold on us.
The people who did vote for him - have nothing to lose, which is why they don’t care, which is why they support everything he does.
I would have written something that would have 100% gotten me banned, if I didn’t have a community to build. And I would have been 100% right about it, and anyone who would say otherwise, could straight up fuck themselves.
If I had written it.
But long-term goals, and people come first.
Because the red team literally doesnt care. Their team is winning, nanannanabooboo. The blue team wabts the red team to think they’re cool or whatever, and pointing out the insanity gets them called crybabies, so they dont do it.
Everyone is 12
The Dem establishment have not beaten the paid opposition argument at all.
They’re not even trying. Schumer is doing it right in public and thinks it’s cute.
There’s no simple answer, but if you look up how cults are made and operate you’ll get an idea.
Do you have any references to podcasts or books that articulate this well? I’m not interested in one person’s story, but the overall processes of a cult are fascinating.
I’ve been listening to the Conspirituality and You Are Not So Smart (specifically “how mids change”) podcasts, which are good and would enjoy any others.
Because Trump has 70 years of organized crime surrounding him.
Because Trump has organized violent militias to protect him.
Because Trump uses the NSA as a personnel filing system for blackmailing and extorting people.
Because we are all hoping that he just dies without having a civil war over his tiny teeny tiny hands.
A) the Supreme Court decided the president is above the law
B) that destroyed any chance to “use the Constitution” as it dramatically undermined what few checks and balances there were
C) MAGA congresspeople willingly gave up their own power to him
D) now riots are coming
What came before that:
- Several members of the US SC have been compromised (Brett Kavanaugh, Clarence Thomas, and possibly others) by having been photographed/filmed at sexually explicit events with minors.
- In the case of Kavanaugh this was even dangled in front of his eyes at his confirmation hearing to make sure he understood he was to walk the line or else.
- Cases were brought in front of the SC to make sure they could rule on “Presidential immunity”
- Even though this empowered Joe Biden to unprecedented levels of presidential impunity, he choose to do nothing with it and let the the his AG continue his slow work on trying get anything to stick on Trump, or attempt to push.
- Under Obama II, Mitch McConnell succeeded in preventing liberal justices to be confirmed in the Senate, leaving a notorious psychopath/narcissistic sociopath to fill 3 conservative justices in a single term, despite being one of the least popular presidents of all time.

I still rage thinking about this…
Obama: Scalia dies in the beginning of the election year and Mitch McFuck says “it’s too close to the election, we need to let the people decide.”
Trump: Ginsberg dies WHILE MAIL IN VOTING IS HAPPENING and Mitch McFuck rams through a nomination…
God I hate that piece of shit. They got two justices by having no fucking morals whatsoever and playing double standards. Not to mention Obama calling their bluff. They tried this “Obama just wants a far left judge he’d never pick someone respected like Garland.” So he picks Garland and they pull this it’s too late bullshit…
And then your party appointed an attorney general who did absolutely nothing.
It’s “my party” as in: I hold my nose, disgusted at the fact they’re the only viable option until we change the voting system, but am fully aware they’re 90% shit and do dumbass fucking things like “make the same person Republicans wanted as a justice be an attorney general responsible for holding Trump accountable.”
Doesn’t change the fact that Mitch McFuck is a piece of shit that has no standards other than “whatever gets me more power.”
If you keep holding your nose and supporting them they have no motivation to change. This tells them they can do whatever they want because you’ll keep coming back for more. That’s how Democrats have gone from the party of Jimmy Carter to ‘what genocide?’
Hope the supreme court is happy to see the country burn…
Was it good tho
I dont know… The movies made it seem great, but yeah, its movies.
Whack people in the face with big wads of cash for long enough, and they numb out.
…and I’m generously assuming nothing more sinister was in play.
I think there is something more sinister but thats another topic. Its not hard to see how America has really turned evil the last 10 years.

Because he’s a meat puppet for the world’s oligarchy who want him for different reasons (1) remove restrictions to global illegal transactions (2) magnify climate change denialism (3) destroy science and education (4) advance ultraconservatism (5) destroy progressivism and social justice (6) give a lot of freedom to the oligarchy (7) destroy the Western world’s influence to realize Dugin’s idea of Russian New World Order.
It is important to realize that what is happening in the US is not because of any single person.
The orange baboon is but a sympthom, not the disease. I like how some YT video put it: the disassembly of the rule of law is being done by a rare and fragile coalition of multiple small but powerful private groupings on the one hand and the clueless masses on the other.
Yeah, it’s a very long game played by ultraconservatives wanting to “beat the devil”, notably Roy Cohn (fucking dead) and others like him in Heritage Foundation wanting to see Supply Side Jesus.
That was what the election was for. When someone votes for a person like Trump, they are voting to not hold him accountable and to continue doing worse and worse things and to do away with guardrails, rules, rights, and all those other niceties of the social contract.
Because the republicans are full of low intelligence sycophants whose only goal in life is power over others. All they want to do is grift and hurt.
