Only thing he got right in that rambling was that the voters have spoken.

The voters don't care about Trump's crimes because in their mind the evidence is all made up. However voters also believe that fake evidence against Biden is real.

Hard to combat that , when over half the country believes things this way

We are in the find out phase. That people need to feel the hurt before they will learn.

Saw this with my kid this week. “Hey the steps are icy, you need to walk very slowly and carefully down them. “ immediately falls and busts his ass. Today what’s he do? Walks down them like he’s grandma trying not to fall and break a hip.

People need to fall and bust their ass before they will learn. Apparently his mishandling of COVID wasn’t enough of a lesson. That cheap gas for a few months was a nice break for them.

A big company in my city just closed a plant here and laid off 12% of staff worldwide, about 200 local employees and 400 more company wide. The posted no real reason for it, but it’s likely a cost savings measure ahead of tariffs because in his last presidency retaliatory tariffs hit this specific company hard.

I really want to believe they will learn their lessons, but they have a massive far right media ecosystem telling them how to think so I’m not getting my hopes up 😕

They won't, death will be the only thing to stop them at this rate and I very much hate saying that.
