Given that he campaigned claiming he wouldn't be enacting Project 2025 (even though it was obvious he would be), I don't think you can claim people not voting are automatically okay with him breaking that very explicit promise.
No. Americans do not want this. Americans especially didn't want it done by some nutjob private citizen who has zero authority to do what he's doing, and no oversight.
Then they would've voted.
By not voting they are saying they are ok with either option.
That's how democracy works. Voters can bury their heads in the sand, it doesn't make the politicians go away.
Getting voted in is NOT permission to break the law.
He's illegally bypassing Congress with his actions. Doesn't matter if this is what your dumbass voted for, it's not how this works.
Sounds an awful lot like you're trying to convince yourself rather than me.
The projection doesn't help.
Trump has been pretty clear that this was his plan. Anyone surprised by this is just willfully ignorant.
I shouldn't be surprised by your lack of reading comprehension. I'm not really sure what you're even responding to, none of it lines up with anything I just said.
And again, telling you he's going to break the law doesn't mean he's allowed to break the law even if he is voted in after saying it.
This is that half of America is functionally illiterate nonsense the rest of us have to deal with.
