      He built his name on those two things. Literally. That’s been his brand since the 1980’s: shady businesses, inflated real estate deals, and beauty contests. His base voted him in because they liked what they saw and wanted more of it nationwide.

      I’d assume the pedophilia and corruption were already making a decent amount of people angry, judging by the recent election results. War against Iran was just the tipping point, without the preceding issues I’d doubt it had sparked much of revolt.

      This is not me arguing that any of these are ok btw, in an ideal world any of these things would lead to the end of the administration.

      No, that’s not how anything works…

      “The straw that broke the camels back” isn’t just one heavy ass piece of straw.

      It’s one thing, in addition to every single thing that came before it.

      So its this and the pedophilla and rampant corruption, and everything else.

        But… like… literally everyone can agree that pedoshit should always break the camel’s back. Like it’s literally universal across pretty much every demographic that nobody should protect a pedo and even the worst serial killing criminals in prison are still viewed more favorablly than pedos.
