Is the trump illusion over?


Posts: 5427

I know that some of our members here are strongly pro-trump, and now I'm curious about their reaction. Seeing their stocks plummeting, not even they can ignore the damage now. Maybe they didn't care about minorities or other people, but if it hurts their own wallet it's gotta do something to them, right? Sometimes it feels like the stock market is the only thing US conservatives care about, making it a good opportunity for reflection. 

It's becoming harder to deny the catastrophic effects the Trump administration has not only on Americans, but on the entire world. After ignoring how people are being sent to slave labour camps, judicial due processes being ignored, imperialist territorial claims being made and journalists censored...

That all wasn't enough to break the narrative. Is it now? Or will trumpists double down and pretend there is a masterplan for us all, instead of just for those few at the top?

This is the second time he's been president, they don't lose interest they take breathers. 

His platform is built on being a critic, he needs something to criticize so that it doesn't end up cannibalizing (further).

What happens after this?  What will be the new normal?  Will things need to be ramped up or will they settle down?  It's hard to say what it's going to take to break the spell over American politics, where they are able to define themselves in terms of their own organization than reacting to that of their opposition.

It is hard to say what sobering up is going to look like.  It's easy enough to imagine either side falling back on blaming the other.  The way things are now, I would never expect contrition on the part of either party; division is too heated.  I think things are still a lot of "wait-and-see"-ism.  Early prospects look terrible, the trend doesn't seem optimistic -- to vastly understate the situation.  Any denial of this on the part of those from Trumpistan would be more of a deflection: it's a little early to get swayed by consequences that haven't happened yet.  Clearly, Trump is capable of upsetting a lot of people.  What better way to upset them than to succeed, though?

...But then after his term, after the damage has truly been done, it will be the same story where the consequences of one administration actually befall their successors worse.  All the mistakes being made have accumulated for those coming after.  It might be telling how quickly things go to shit before that administration change, to say just how bad things are.

It's what we've seen with Governors scaled up, we'll probably see Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson next.

The American Pigpire is realizing that it has no answers for its conceitedness, intentionally perverted power structures, lack of authenticity, and growing contradictions.

Now it's just Russia trying to turn America into even more of a white monkey slave empire.

 Hey did you notice there is no more US news about the War in Ukraine? Disappeared. No more propaganda and no more US war funding means no one cares. Russia needs to take Ukraine and all the EU and US politicians banks accounts there. Did you every wonder why they found so many "research bio labs" in Ukraine?

That's what you had with Biden, corruption and war.

Not true. Any reputable sources that back this up? Here are some that contradict what you just said

 We have more of that now.

The mind behind LiYang doesn't try to have real arguments under that alias, you'd have more luck under the alts he's not logging in as right now.
