I remember once of my coworkers saying, "I hear what you're saying about Trump having issues, but I feel like we need to try something different, and the president doesn't really have that much power anyway, so there's not much he can do."
Now he passionately hates Trump and tries to avoid any conversation about Trump voters because he was one.
Honestly, I thought trump running for president was the funniest thing ever. There was no way the idiot would win and at least the political season would have a clown to laugh at. I could not have been so wrong by Nov. I mean he made his announcement for candidacy descending a golden fucking escalator. From there he never stopped being a beyond parody asshole born from corporate America…and to this day I cannot really grasp how he became that popular. Although, I have strong feelings that much of it is born out of reaction to Obama’s presidency
You really shouldn’t discount the role of russian propagandists and hackers. They were synchronized at the perfect moment in time when the boomers lost they damned minds and started posting insane screeds on the interwebs.
The democrats did this themselves too. How delusional do you have to be to go all in with HRC. Bernie would have won and that scared the Neolibs and the DNC too much
Lol yeah no. Bernie didn't have the numbers. Bernie Bros just only ever speak to other Bernie Bros so they don't realize that most Dems wanted Hillary. There's this weird fantasy that Bernie had broad support and he just didn't.
