Trump’s promise? I don’t remember him promising much anything at all until the very tail end of the campaign, and even then it was kinda offhand. OTOH, the troll farms were in absolute overdrive talking about eggs, groceries, worthless higher education, gas prices (even though they are higher now) and of course bashing Harris over tons of things that weren’t even jobs she had the authority to do.
brink of a crisis
Ummm I don't think the meaning of a crisis is understood anymore. Brink implies risking a crisis, where the usa has been in a full on crisis on many fronts for about 100 days. I would even say that they are past the initial crisis point and are getting way to cocky this far into a multi pronged collapse.
And some people still say he has business skills...
MAGAts know nothing but hurting others.
All to plan
Not even. Him and Elon biffed every other form of autocratic guidance that laid out steps to take.
Cutis Yarvin is furious at how incompetent Musk and Torange have been. By 100 days in they should have been drowning journalists in foam. They haven't even hit 50% of Project 2025 progress.
Rank amateur bitches. Can't even do authoritarianism well.
Sure, but have you considered that Kamala had a weird laugh
Schodinger's cat applies here. We will never know how good or bad Kamala would have been since she didn't win. However, since 47 has done so much shit to damage the country in ways worse than imagined, I'd say she'd done better.
BTW, have you ever heard Trump laughing at anything? That's even weirder IMO.
It's a competition to destroy the US and your opponent is Donald Trump.
That's about the only competitive scenario you could put me in vs. Trump and I'd despair that there would be no path to victory for me.
She would have been better. Biden was an OK president that was ruined by his brazen pro-genocide stance. It doesn't take a lot to be better than Trump.
This is such a stupid argument and I wouldn’t believe it if it wasn’t for my dad. He keeps talking about her laugh and I explain to him that it’s appropriate to express all emotions…. And he doesn’t believe it. He’s also unable to connect me being in therapy and his behavior.
The statistics of who stayed home VS who voted for a white man with the same policies (older white men/women and older hispanic men) shows most of the votes lost are from Kamala being a colored woman and our most bigoted groups responding accordingly.

Musk will light your taxes on fire. Obama was huge on deportation. Kamala is a gun owner. OK, why won't you vote for Kamala then? "I just don't like her. She laughs weird." I couldn't believe it, but it shouldn't shock me. How do you even keep going after that?
It wasn't really about the laugh.
She laughs like a black woman!
Yea, some of them also noticed she is a minority and a woman. Sadly our country has not accepted those groups are just as capable as white men to lead a country.
Maybe the broligarchy currently in charge will finally disabuse people of the notion of white male superiority. Maybe…
Any mistake by any woman "justifies" the canard that women are incompetent. Same is used for Black men, but judging by the election record, the misogyny is even deeper than the racism.
I remember reading that immigration groups called Obama the deporter in chief. Trump wishes he could get a nickname that would go that hard with his base.
Also, those dumbass's who think a woman can't be president.
Unfortunately that includes a lot of women, making it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Americans will delude themselves into thinking Harris lost because of identity politics all the way to the concentration camps.

The brink? lol we’ve gone off the cliff and are in free-fall
U.S. "at the brink" circa 2025
I was thinking more like:
Let your local magats know how you feel since this is what they wanted. The business owner ones even made it easy to figure out who they are over on their Nazi safe space at public square
Is he that stupid that he really beleives his plan will work? Or is he so afraid of Putin's kompromat that he'll destroy his own country in order to keep it hidden?
Why not both?
Their plan is working. Destroy the country so people will have it tough. Create a state of emergency, a sense of crisis and instability. That can be exploited to justify increased repression, to seize control of key assets and resources and their distribution. Makes the population more reliant on structures controlled by their oligarchs and loyalists.
It's not kompromat. It's flattery. "You're such a good boy, Donald!" is doing a lot more here than you realize.
I blame Melania. If he was getting love and support at home, he wouldn't have to spend so much time looking for affection outside the home.
Only mildly sarcastic.
Melania is his handler. She's the one telling him he's a good boy.
The only reason I don't think Melania has any ties to Putin is that she wouldn't treat Donnie so shabbily if she had to keep him on a leash. Remember she stayed in NYC for six months at the start of his first term. A handler would be in constant contact.
Is he that stupid that he really beleives his plan will work?
Absolutely, have you seen any sign of high intelligence coming from tRump?
Or is he so afraid of Putin’s kompromat that he’ll destroy his own country in order to keep it hidden?
I am increasingly doubting this. Do you really think a tape of some prostitutes pissing on him would change anything at this stage?
I also do not buy the notion tRump is a russian asset because he is just too stupid to be recruited... he is too stupid to be easily manipulated though.
His stupidity, at full and constant display and perfectly complimentary of the USA's population ignorance, is more than enough to explain where we are and far far more likely than any other theories...
He is the dictator of the US. This is how he extracts every last cent possible from the working class to fund tax breaks and handouts for the ultra-wealthy. Accountability is not a factor for someone like this who has lived his whole life with no accountability and continually failed upward to the highest office. He "doesn't need your vote" anymore, he is there and he's not planning on leaving this time no matter what the voters say.
Yup, polls don't mean shit anymore
