I don't think anyone saw this coming.

Personally I saw a lot of this coming before his first term ended.

This is mostly because I was still in high school back then. If I was older, I'm guessing I would have seen it coming even as far back as 1800s.

It was never really hidden or anything. Pretty much all you had to do was pay attention. And get a little lucky to avoid getting completely brainwashed, I guess.

    The only thing that was unexpected for me was that they elected him Twice tbh. But then again, it's America, so i guess that one is on me

    There's statistical data that suggests that the last election was manipulated.

    No surprise.

    I've been expecting something like this since Obama left office, honestly, and it's really a real-time demonstration at how the political doors swing both ways, and by that I mean we had Obama and then Trump, biden almost doesn't count because he's practically a Republican anyway, but then we had Trump again, and after that the swing, the door's gonna swing real hard the other way. I'm concerned for what will happen next.

    Trump executed more people than any president except for FDR. And FDR served 3 full terms and a large number of those executed were Nazi saboteurs during ww2.

    Trump executed more people in his last 6 months in office than all post ww2 presidents combined I believe.

    I mean, yeah.

    What I'm saying is that the current state of the US was foreseeable back in the 1800s, not that it's been constantly in place since the 1800s.

    Although a lot of the current issues Americans face have always been there. Just to lesser degrees, on smaller scales, and often externalized.
