It’s always so sad and absurdly funny at the same time that real people think like this. I can’t help but laugh and then just rethink about my life yet again.

"Someone with his business acumen..."
Holy shit. I imagine this person has an open fucking head wound and a keyboard covered in drool. Holy shit.
With time, you forget just how desperate, unequipped for life and dangerously myopic these people are.
You just love to see it.
You think he would vote for Trump again? Or did he learn from this?
If we ever have a vote again. Yeah. 100% because he'll once again think the GOP is just so great on the economy. DOW is down 750 points at the moment if anyone is wondering how absolute chaos effects the stock market.
No reason?
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA
Right?! My dude, bringing in a wrecking ball and ruining people's lives is the reason. Trump isn't a stable genius, he's a geriatric lunatic who's been given the keys to the asylum.
This being jpeged as fuck adds so much to this, and I fear it is not intentional.
I wish I could say I created this image, but alas, there are people more talented than me on the Internet. My head cannon says the amount of jpeg is intentional and definitely a highlight!
Well if you ever need to intentionally jpeg something there are plenty of tools available:

Business acumen? Neither the president nor trump have that
Yeah, they were both kinda born into it.
Aside from being brainwashed into MAGA he sounds like a solid dude. He saw a problem in his country and took it upon himself to try to fix it. Too bad he wanted leopards to eat his face
Lol, this is the best comment I've read all week. Thank you for giving me a good laugh, I needed it!
Though, I have realized that if you're still a Trump supporter, you're either ill informed or are a terrible person
I agree 100%. I kinda have to believe people like this can get better because I have good people in my family whose actions and political beliefs are entirely at odds with each other.
Fuck the Murdoch dynasty, all of them. Knowing that people I care about have spent decades watching a 4-hour evening infomercial for fascism is brutal.
Same with friends. But it's so hopeless trying to get through to them. I know their feeds are filled with "LIBERAL TEARS, IMMIGRANTS BECOMES MILLIONAIRE WITH FOOD STAMPS AND HERES WHY WHITE PEOPLE ARE THE ACTUAL VICTIMS" They see it on their YouTube. Their Twitter. Their Facebook. Their Instagram. Their FOX (self described non news "entertainment" channel) NEWS app. They're getting hit with propaganda from everywhere, not even counting the decades of Fox that's infected their family. They're so incredibly misinformed and I don't know what way to change their minds. Some times they'll listen but it never sticks, probably the same way I do when they're telling me how democrats actually set up any bad thing that happens.
Fox News was just full time repeating that the border was over run with Hispanic men running around and raping all the white women.
Willful ignorance is a powerful tool to wield for dictatorships. What part of the Project 2025 instruction manual for the destruction of democracy mentioned anything about a "fine tooth comb" method for this change?
It's hardly willful. The media machine that got Trump through the door has been a hundred billion dollar multi-generational campaign dating back to the Nixon Administration.
Roger Ailes, Paul Weyrich, and James Dobson dedicated their collective careers to guaranteeing a large section of the US population would be deluged with fascist propaganda. And Sheldon Adelson, Robert Mercer, the Koch Family, the Ford Family, the hiers to the Hoover Institute, and a few dozen other riechwing billionaires financed their efforts.
This isn't just dumb people all stupidly flipping the Trump switch by coincidence. It's the product of sustained industrial tier media manipulation by people whose personal fortunes are predicated on misinformation.
Goes back further than that to the post-war era with the dismantling of the union movement and oppression of left wing voices due to the 2nd Red Scare/McCarthyism
That’s funny because I thought somebody who works at the IRS would have skills like reading comprehension and functional eyes.
I lost faith in the standards of our government employees after that one clerk was found to be repeatedly refusing to issue marriage licenses to same sex couples.
Fine tooth comb lmao.
I remember listening to a news podcast and I don't recall if it was an idea of the GOP, heritage, musk, bolsonaro (who they're taking cues from) but one idea was fire all employees with an even number ID. Easy way to get half the staff. I'm still expecting that kind of "fine tooth comb" because so far they're just going after the easy starting point: asking people to resign and probationary workers.
Never dealt with any business type person who did anything "with a fine tooth comb". It's always "just tear it out and replace it with my thing, it'll be fine". It's never fine but they're so far above the mess that it doesn't affect them so who gives a shit.
It's wild watching people who don't consider themselves fascist kind of just cheering for it, because as with everything our government does, 50% don't care how cruel it is as long as said cruelty is pointed in the right direction. (Or what they think is the right direction.)
It has been said a million times, and it will be said again.
You -clap- voted -clap- for -clap- this!
It is called "coping". At the back of their minds, they know they got it wrong but are too proud to admit it. So, they double down instead and engaging in sunk cost fallacy.
