One of the defining traits of a cult is that its members don't think they're in a cult.
Gee, I wonder who else has made similar statements in the past?
Hitler? Stalin? Just about every ******* tyrant despot of the last century?
Trump voters fall into two categories:
1: People who haven't read a book since high school.
2: People who have read a book since high school, but it's Atlas F**king Shrugged.
Trumpers pivoted very quickly from "Trump will make us respected on the world stage again" to "OK, so the world hates us and is booing us, but that's OK, they all suck anyway".
It turns out that "respect on the world stage" was just like "blue-collar jobs" and "the price of eggs" and "corruption": all entirely fake and dishonest reasons for supporting Trump. The real reason was always culture-war nonsense.
It's both sad and hilarious that disgruntled Trump voters are complaining that he didn't keep his promises. What the hell did you expect, when you believed the promises of a convicted criminal?
Trumpers always think they're "street smart", not "book smart". But a street-smart person would know enough to be wary of the promises of a convicted criminal and known fraudster. It turns out that Trumpers are neither book smart or street-smart. They're just plain stupid on every level.

Trump begins firings of FAA air traffic control staff just weeks after fatal DC plane crash
The Trump administration has begun firing several hundred Federal Aviation Administration employees, upending staff on a busy air travel weekend and just weeks after a fatal mid-air collision in Washington.apnews.com
If you voted for a guy whose signature catch-phrase is literally "You're fired" and you're shocked that he's mass-firing people, you're too stupid to vote.
No, Trump voters, you don't get to complain that DOGE is hurting people indiscriminately. You voted for Trump because you WANTED him to hurt people indiscriminately. You said things like "we need someone who will burn down the whole system". Do you think we didn't hear that?
Well, now you're getting what you voted for. This is EXACTLY what you voted for. All of these indiscriminate cuts are YOUR fault. And no, you can't ask for humanitarian exceptions: you WANTED someone who would not care about humanitarian exceptions.
How else can you explain wanting to eliminate all foreign aid? Don't you think there's a human cost to doing that? Of course there is, but YOU DIDN'T CARE, and you specifically voted for a man who you knew wouldn't care either.
ALL OF THIS is what you voted for, so if you don't like it, then f**k you. If your husband or your father or your son or daughter lost their job because of this, don't blame anyone but yourself. You did this.
Millions of Trump supporters talk about trade deficits without having the slightest idea what a trade deficit is. They just know that it sounds bad, because it has the word "deficit" in it.
A trade deficit does NOT necessarily mean you're getting ripped off. If you buy $100 worth of lumber from me, you are running a trade deficit of $100, but you didn't get ripped off. You got $100 worth of lumber. The value exchanged was equal.
In fact, if the lumber is on sale and you get $100 worth of lumber for only $80, you're still running a trade deficit of $80, but you actually got a good deal, which is the opposite of getting ripped off.
It's sad that something like this needs to be explained.
The naaaah is probably correct. Today's crash was in Toronto and I guess it was weather related.I wonder if the chaos of today had anything to do with this.
Ironbite-naaaaaaaaaaaaaah.
