To everyone who thinks Trump was a Trojan Horse, or deepstate himself.
If you think that Trump was a Trojan Horse, or deepstate himself, you don’t understand the one key thing about politics…to the victor go the spoils. The definition of politics is “who get what.”
Politics is about rewarding your friends, and by extension in a democracy, punishing your enemies, by taking tax dollars from one group and giving it to another. If Trump was installed as some part of a powersharing agreement, you’re forgetting that for four years tax dollars didn’t go to Democrat priorities as much as Republican priorities (and we can see that switch now). Moreover, the tax cuts, where Republicans got rid of the state and local tax (SALT), that was a huge FU to blue states. So huge, it’s primarily the reason that the House went Democrat in 2018.
If Trump were installed, would they really have acted so apeshit crazy, but have been faking it the whole time, and passed on the opportunity to have Hillary keep their gravy train running? That makes zero sense.
Look, I get it, I’m upset he didn’t do enough about the cheating and thus the Dems stole the election in 2020. But sometimes the bad guys win, and the good guys lose. Happens all the time in history.
Why do you presume I'm a Trump zealot? I'm not, and I never was. I voted for Cruz in the primary in 2016, convinced Trump would lose. He almost did, but the left believed their own polls and didn't have their voter fraud machine spun up.
He was a flawed man, I agree, but what I truly enjoyed about him, was how he punched back. He never hit first, though. Maybe a weakness.
What I'm pushing back against, is this rather stupid way that people are coping with Trump's loss, but doing what you're doing, and saying that he was corrupt (who isn't in real estate in NYC) and a fake and sold everyone out. He was an outsider from the start, and the deep state, dems and GOP sought out to destroy him along the way. Had he been allowed to govern without endless fake allegations and fake crises and negative media through the roof, he would have been.
Now, our system does not select for angels, remember that when your ideal candidate never materializes.
