What? Trump isn't doing shit by himself. He's got a plethora of zealots and other Nazis carrying out the entire Project 2025 plan. He's got tens of millions of zealot voters rabidly defending everything their dictator is doing.

He doesn’t have that much support for his actions. He just lives in a country where nearly everyone does nothing to stop him. You aren’t. I’m not. I’ll bet no one here is doing anything besides screaming. Maybe that used to work, but it’s not now. Republicans at Idaho protests are literally telling the crowd “your voice doesn’t matter”

And they’re right.
