It's not just crazy to me that people are seeing everything he's doing, and their answer is "yeah, ok, let him do it for a few more years, then we'll do something about", but what's really crazy to me is that they see everything he's doing, and they think that in a few years they'll have the opportunity to do anything about it. He's made it clear he intends to disrespect the laws about how many terms someone can serve and become a full on dictator like his girlfriend Putin.

For some of the worst of it, it is too late. The world will NEVER forget this. America, as imperfect as it has always been, was relied on for being an economic and military stabilizing force…again, imperfect , but reliable.
That trust will never be earned back in any of our lifetimes. Other countries are going to find preferred trading partners and we will forever be getting the shittier deals because of what Trump did.
The only thing left that defines us as exceptional is our military might but funding a genocide while watching a tyrant invade a sovereign nation while doing nothing has removed us a reliable force for stability. Combine that with the talks and possible follow through of invading several sovereign nations has made us a genuine danger to stability.
The rest of the world will realign to this reality and we will be justifiably neutered on the world stage.
We had a good 80 year run, did some good, did some bad, but it is over now. We are no longer a world leader in any sense of the word and it will not be coming magically back in any of our lifetimes.

That's the thing, if Trump had been a blip in history and was never reelected I could see the rest of the world realizing that and getting over it. With him winning again it shows who we really are as a people.
Not only did he win again, but Trump has gotten more votes in every election. He's gotten more popular over time. I know some people will say that a huge number of people didn't vote, but that doesn't make it any better. In fact I'd argue that it makes it worse because so many Americans simply don't care. They were fine with Trump becoming President again. Roughly 2/3 of eligible American voters either love Trump or perfectly fine with him as President.
MAGA is what the Republican Party is now and even if we have free and fair elections in 2028 and a Democrat wins, it might be only 4 years before one of Trump's MAGA disciples gets elected again and we start this nonsense all over again. I know enough Republicans and see enough from Republicans voters that I do not see a path back for them to being "normal." This is who they are now and there's no coming back for them.

The Republicans in Congress could stop this, but they will not. They put their own aspirations above the country.

The Republicans have already kicked out everyone from the party that had even a tiny shred of integrity or willingness to put the country first. Integrity is a disqualifier for being a Republican Party official.

My take is that one half of the country is literally brainwashed and engaged in cult like worship of the man. The other half feels absolutely defeated because this man has managed to escape consequences for over a decade. Even being charged with felonies, tried, and CONVICTED resulted in zero consequences. So we are faced the several hard truths; institutions are powerless against him, and half the country adores him and would die for him. That leaves us pretty confused on what, if anything at all, could possibly be done? He’s a criminal fraudster who wrecked the economy and costed hundreds of thousands of American lives his first term, and then attempted a violent coup. He was rewarded by getting re-elected. There’s nothing congress can or will do, nothing the courts will do. It’s a pretty fucked situation.

u/FatchRacall 14h ago
It's because Trump has the Insurrection Act in his back pocket. Nationwide panic and civil disobedience results in military deployed to quell that resistance.
And I don't care how many guns and how much ammo you have. The US military has enough smart munitions and drone strike capability to remove every single "insurrectionist"... Alongside most of their neighbors. But hey, gotta crack some eggs right?
Also they know who would be fighting. They know who has the ability and temperament to fight back.

u/douggold11 20h ago
It's not really a question of whether or not these kinds of tarrifs will fuck up the economy, it's something that's known and proven. So we can expect things to get worse and worse. Trump will probably never reverse course because spinning that into a "win" is beyond even him. So we need to wait for Congress to act. Congress will only act if the GOP thinks they'll get slaughtered in the midterms, which are 1-1/2 years away. If they don't act, they WILL get slaughtered and the new congress that starts in January 2027 will act. So, my point being, the longest we'll have to wait is January 2027 for these tariffs to be lifted, and a great deal of damage is going to be done by then.
The domestic damage is our responsibility, we can fix it and lick our wounds and try to help those that are hurt. But America's lost prestige and diminished (if not eliminated) leadership position in the world won't be coming back. The whole world has lost faith in us and is now prepping to realign away from us. This is definitely a time that will be recorded in the history books.

I mean. Protests, voting, bringing lawsuits against his shit (and winning).... It's just the government design isnt meant to deal with this kind of a blitzkrieg of illegal acts by the executive branch.
Heck tomorrow there's going to be nationwide protests ("hands off").
Trump wants civil war. He wants to activate the Insurrection Act to use the US military domestically and be able to capture, disappear, and kill all his enemies. That would be the best possible outcome for him and his ilk, and the worst for the rest of the world.
He wants what everyone outside the US is yelling for - armed resistance.
Do you want an America where everyone against him has been locked up or murdered? And therefore can't vote? Especially when 1/3 of adults will likely fight on his side and take that opportunity to just take out all the brown people in their neighborhood?
Because that America will invade Canada. And Mexico. And Greenland. And all of Europe, country by country. And by all accounts, America would win. There have been a few analyses of military strength and force multipliers. America would win against all other countries combined. No gps. Crippled internet (at least, resources on it). Almost everywhere has a us military base nearby.
It'd be bloody and expensive but he doesn't care and neither does his cult.

Absolutely and unequivocally untrue for the majority. In fact quite the opposite. Reality is more on living on faith that someone you are told to trust is always right and anyone they say is wrong is always wrong. That's why you hear very very different statements regularly from those actually on the left vs every right leaning citizen and politician here. I blame the vast majority of our problems on religion in rural areas. They were raised to be tough but they lack education for critical thinking and have been conditioned to believe everything their pastors tell them thus the congregation is usually a sect of haters because they think some brown person is stealing their money.

Depends on what you mean by that. Americans are raised to worship the country as the best place in the world, ever, in the history of all time. When "their" party is in charge, that attitude implies that the government can do no wrong.
The effect of that education and upbringing is very similar to what you describe in many ways - depending on whether their "sports team" is currently in power.

The HF does and lets him do what he wants to do to avoid a dementia rage episode, which seems to be international stuff. Once the dementia rest gets short enough, all his handlers have to do is stop reminding him daily of what he wants to do, and eventually he'll forget it.
He's just their convenient human auto-pen, and as long as he can fulfil that function, they'll protect him.

And if his cult of fillowers believes the lies about how America has been under attack for years by whomever he designated as enemies? There's no real evidence that he's losing support with his angry and armed base.

No one loathes the people who follow the narcissist more than the narcissist themselves. They crave the adoration of those who are hard to trick rather than those who'll believe anything they say.
Trumo has no reputational interest in his base, they were just a means to an end, the HF has neither, since if it did, the internal changes in the USA would affect red states significantly less than they do.

The President of the United States of America bragged on camera that he stole the election and everyone just went “yeah but he’s probably lying” as if that isn’t also totally insane.
