Remember the dark years from 2016-2020? Doom scrolling became a huge thing back then. It’s not going to stop if we fall back, again. It’ll be doom scroll after doom scroll of rights being stripped, of the president looking like a fool globally, etc. never ending shit storm.

If the other person gets elected? Someone’s going to complain that she got her nails done on taxpayer dollars.

Trump visited a Trump property 428 out of 1461 days of his term, and he played 261 rounds of golf, about 1/5 of days of his term. Almost $150 million charged to American taxpayers, for him to travel there with full security, play an 90-stroke game, kick his ball, called it 65 strokes to his friends, make dirty deals without oversight, travel back with security, eat a cheeseburger and angry tweet from the toilet. Every 5 days. Laziest president we've ever had.

To be honest, it's his only redeeming quality. Imagine someone equally evil and selfish but smart and competent.

Despite his horribly lacking social skills, Vance is that capable and corrupt.

[–] nforminvasion@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Yes. It's why here's there.

Notice how they put him as soon as Trump started denying project 25. Perhaps all bullshit for the public but maybe not all bs. The Heritage Foundation might have actually gotten a bit spooked and put in a good yes man like Vance.

The apparatus around him is exactly that: evil, selfish, and smart. Project 2025 is only one example of how the mistakes of Trump's laziness will not be repeated. There's now a motivated and strategic fascist leadership and engaged bureaucracy ready to be emplaced as soon as he assumes power this time.

I think you underestimate the sheer incompetence of Trump. He will work as a handbrake impeding the implementation of Project 2025.

[–] WoahWoah@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Doubtful, but I'm happy to wish with you.

[–] Tja@programming.dev 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Since we are wishing, let's wish he doesn't come close to the white house...
