Why does that surprise you? This is why the guy wins. And everyone wants a ceasefire.  Somehow people on here will spin this, but it’s exactly the result you all wanted.

Bibi always wanted to end the war, just on his terms and those are a bit cringey to many.

lol checked FB and all the trumpets are posting “we shouldn’t lose friends over politics” when that’s exactly what they did the last 4 years 

I culled that herd eight years ago on my social media.  When I checked FB today, I didn't see much about Trump except from the sane, stunned people.  I don't need an echo chamber, but I'm not wasting the few minutes each day I spend on social media (non Surly Social Media) listening to bunch of trumptards gloat.

Serious question, what if DJT does a good job? Are any of you going to be capable of not doomcasting every fucking thing he does and automatically making it something negative? 

I am still hoping for less bad than before. Pre-covid he was finally shutting the fuck up and getting off of social media and things weren't perfect but they werent exactly headed towards disaster. He was especially bad on COVID, but tbh I think almost anyone would have been bad, just not as bad as him because he's an idiot.

I wish we could round up the people who do not appreciate the working class into their own Fletcher Memorial Home where they had to do everything for themselves.  I'm curious how many days it would take before they came out begging for forgiveness.

I will be delighted.

He says he will start a golden age, if he does so that would be great. I felt the same way in 2016 when he actually had some good ideas unlike now. And he did none of them, and in fact did the opposite in some cases.

But if I am wrong and somehow Trump does this amazing job this time, that would be quite the relief.

so should biden sign off on a massive weapons dump to ukraine, no restrictions ?

Yes but it won’t be massive. Unless I’m mistaken, the presidential draw down authority for fiscal 2025 wasn’t increased so it’s just $100M. Biden pretty much blew his whole load at the end of September (end of fiscal 24) with $5.5B … it’s unclear to me how they scraped together another $425M in October. It’s also unclear to me how much of what’s been promised since September will actually get delivered before the Trump gets in and how much of it he’ll be able to cancel, if he chooses to, like a stupid piece of shit.

Maybe he has another $1B in the couch cushions leftover from ‘24?

Why are you forming a circular firing squad?

I would fucking love it if he did a great job. It would be good for the country, and the world.

But why would any of us think a morally bankrupt snake-oil salesman is capable of that, especially a day after he won the fucking election?

Also, there is all that stuff he says he wants to do that sounds fucking terrible and damaging.

Democrats and Republicans want DIFFERENT THINGS. They have different ideas about what a "great job" would even mean.

It's all about the echo chamber they have created on social media and the amount mockingbird media they consume plus refusal to allow their view on reality to change because many are obviously too far gone (on both sides).

The finanacial system will be collapsed however and everyone will come out screeching that it's Trump's fault and yes he will have made the money printer go brrr but his biggest issue was not realizing he was walking into a trap.  His zionist lords and handlers will demand we roll out UBI and CBDC and people will be so desperate they will hold their hands up and accept it.   The thing about it is the same thing was going to happen under Kamala only if she had been elected they wouldn't try to blame her but instead pitch it as a necessary change to get through the chaos.

and a Republican would feel the opposite way about it.

I mean, sure, why not. Majority rule, let's give the people what they think they want. He's not running again, so there's no benefit to him being terrible for the country to hamper his reelection chances.

The question will come down to who he surrounds himself with. If you take him at, you know, his actual word, it'll be unqualified loyalists.

He didn't accomplish anything he ran on in 2016 (not that I minded), and that was with a handful of adults in the room, steering him away from his childlike impulses.

Y'all might as well keep receipts. It won't matter, but when they're pretending to be shocked by the horrors he unleashes it might feel good for five seconds to remind them how ecstatic they were to elect him. 

Outside of the liberal echo chamber, people don't seem too concerned about the horrors he may or may not unleash. If Democrats and pundits hoped to convince America that Trump poses an existential threat to either democracy or individuals, they failed spectacularly.

It’s the people he will hire to do the dirty stuff that people won’t see and he will just sign of on it as long as he gets tv time. That’s what is scary.

Trump literally says all the time that he doesn't accept election results as legitimate unless he wins them

That isn't democracy.

Maybe he won't be able to tear it all down, but he literally has stated on many occasions he wants to.

Yeah.  Inciting treason on one side of the scale isn't close to being balanced out by any subsequent, plausible policy decisions in a second term.  I didn't cast my vote based on what necessarily was beneficial to my bottom line.  I cast my vote for what I felt was best for the country as a whole.

he's going to do a "good" job on China trade, he did the first time around and Biden ramped it up. he won't be perfect on it though. I think he will be too isolationist on Taiwan and Ukraine. But Europe is ready to take up the Ukraine cause. I'll get a tax cut so there's that. As long as the social issues stay states rights I'll be ok, mobile and can move. the fear is nationalizing social conservative issues, climate change (he will be horrible on the issue that is probably our biggest issue). and then he will be shitastic on the hate rhetoric. I hope his immigration position on mass deportation ends up being bluster because too many industries rely on that workforce because citizens don't want to do it.  He will fuck the DOJ I'm pretty sure. Most other agencies too but the DOJ specifically because the separation there is and always has been on the honor system.

he was terrible last time but not a 0% I suspect the same this time but worse on some of it. I hope the fact that he can't run again will be enough to make him leave at least some what peacefully.
