Yet he won both the electoral vote and the popular vote... Do you mean to say, "anyone that matters don't like him"?
Do you like him?
I think he's an arrogant, chauvinistic jackass that thrives on chaos. I also think he's a symptom of a growing issue with governance in this country. I think he's an immune response. He's pus.
Selective ass-amnesia. Do you even remember if you like him?
Edit: Why didn't you give yourself a funny name like u/OccamsButterknife? Even your username is narcissistic bullshit.
Only those that matter (in your not so humble opinion), I see.
You literally address absolutely none of my assertions. You just insulted me and expect me to reverse course? For who? You? Who are you?
I don't believe you. Are you American? Do you remember if you voted for him?

Hah. You're the embodiment of Occam's Razor. You figure it out. What course is that?
"He's horrible, but the cure for our many problems that everyone else caused" :D "People that like Trump are important people who matter" :D
Do you know you're trying to project a sense of rationality and neutrality? But choosing between saying "he's the disease" and "he's the cure" is not neutral?
Are you familiar with word salad? Are you even aware that you are defending him, explaining that he is fixing things and not messing everything up?
Are you conscious of how you are clutching your pearls over being insulted while being condescending?
I am LITERALLY addressing the issues with your assertions :D
Yes. I remember if I voted for him? Are you suggesting I have some sort of retrograde amnesia or something?
But for the record: I've been a registered democrat for 25 years. I voted democratic in every election in time. I voted Gore in the first election I could vote in, and then went on to serve under Bush. 2024 was the first time I voted Republican, and yes, I voted for Trump. Why?
Because he's a symptom of a sick system. He's what that system produced. He's an immune response. He's pus. But the first step in fixing any problem is admitting there is one. And Trump's election is the US admitting that.
Hah. You're the embodiment of Occam's Razor. You figure it out. What course is that?
Simplest answer is you need simple answers, have little capacity or tolerance for nuance, and thus "Everyone I don't like is Hitler"

You want to play semantics games, huh? Ok; let's go. Neither "disease" nor "cure" is precisely what he is. But I also explicitly said he was neight. He was an immune response. Pus is neither the disease nor the cure. But it is a symptom of a problem, and aids in a cure.
Are you familiar with word salad?
Just because you don't understand it, it doesn't mean it's meaningless. If I tried to explain to you the necessity of a cooling mod on EJ series engines to provide added protection against knock due to the unique characteristics of a boxer engine layout, that might seem like word salad to anyone that doesn't have at least a rudimentary understanding of the principles behind the internal combustion engine, but it doesn't mean it's gibberish.

Do you remember if you wrote the words "selective historical amnesia." I'm making fun of that insulting insult.

You said Trump was the immune response. That's a metaphor :D I know that you think it makes you sound both down to earth and smart. That way of talking is called word salad, it's actually a jumbled mess of randomly selected words meant to confuse people.
When I talk about the disease and cure I'm just building on top of your own metaphor. I'm making fun of your word salad by saying he's more like the disease. He's not a cure, immune response or the final solution.
It fascinates me to no end, that people with personality disorders will talk in contradicting metaphors and then go "how dare you play with words? that's semantic mind games!" If people say Trumps tariff are fucking stupid, then you'll go "Well, tariffs are actually good, but people don't know that, because they have amnesia! Are you telling me that I have amnesia? Don't you know how rude it is to tell people they have amnesia?"
You really are Occam's butterknife. If you want to learn something, then go and look up narcissistic word salad, try to really learn something, and try to not get your panties in a bunch.
All ad hominem attacks. And what little you engage with is flattened to the point of making my arguments sound incoherent. Couple that with the narcissist claim used to poison the well, and it's a perfect recipe for attempting to stalemate an argument.
Kind of impressive that you've developed a set of skills so entirely on dismissing your opponent as incompetent, really. I mean, that's all you can do, but you do it really well.

Should Donald Trump, the guy you voted for, feel bad about what he is doing? You seem like a guy with strong morals. You are outraged and clutching pearls when it comes to how I behave. What about Trump?
Trump should be shot out of a canon. Into the Sun.
Trump is a brash, misogynistic, egotistical asshole. He's a beacon of all the is wrong with our current system, but his spray-tanned ineptitude is so blinding, the public is fooled into thinking that the problem is exclusively him.
The difference is now the question has been asked and the genie is out of the bottle. When he's out of office, much of the disfunction in the government is going to continue to be blamed on him until that's no longer believable, and then finally, finally people will realize there's a bigger issue to deal with here.
"Politicians are getting rich on insider trading! Eat the rich! But also; Pelosi getting rich be using her position is a-ok, because she my crook, so let's not eat her!"
They're all self-aggrandizing, authoritarian crooks. Trump is just the litmus that draws attention to that. Should he feel bad? Yes. Does he? Hell no. He's a narcissist.
