The crazy thing is I know otherwise intelligent people who voted for Trump, but make arguments in his defense that 75% sound like the most jaded #resistlib never trumper take, until he gets to the end.
Almost word for word this week was like- Trump is a conman, you can't believe half of what he says. Trump doesn't deliver half of what he promises. He isn't very smart, just cares about his own image and ego. He is addicted to doing substanceless deals and creating crises he can do these nothing deals to resolve. So DOGE isn't real, he isn't gonna cut spending, he's gonna continue growing deficit, he won't drain the swamp or build a wall or repeal Obamacare.
And the closer is "And given all that there's no way Trump crashes the economy".
I just do not get this cult. It's an addiction to "owning the libs" at all costs.
I think what explains it best is they're so allergic to admitting the outgroup is right that they would sooner burn the entire country to the ground.
It's not rational analysis or coherent reasoning. It's tribalism at its core.
