The actual cognitive test is for America, and they're all failing if they don't realize he's just making shit up as he goes along, and NOTHING he says is ever true.
If any other President in history ever did any of the things he's doing constantly, they'd be over.
Why is America okay with this? Does the whole country need to take this test?
We've all been thoroughly conditioned to be confident in the system. Most Democrat voters I know in real life honestly think that in 2028 we'll vote in a Democrat who will fix everything and everything will go back to "normal."
They refuse to see this as being any different than any other embarrassing 4 years of republican presidency. They think all our allies will just write this off and resume trade and military relations, all the environmental and scientific groups will welcome us back with open arms, and we'll all think back on these years and laugh.
To admit otherwise would mean there's more to do than just vote for that same color you've always voted for, and that would be a real hassle.
This one strikes me as tricky even in theory.
Sure, in theory the democrats have a majority in the house, but they likely won't even have a simple majority in the senate, and if they are anything short of 2/3rds majority in the senate, it's largely moot. They can't pass anything Trump doesn't want and they can't remove Trump from office. Yeah, they are supposed to have leverage to deny legislation, but this administration has proven itself quite happy to unilaterally act..
It's not meant to be logical, it's meant to be an easy out that they can convince themselves will happen so that they don't have to do anything more challenging than voting every 4 years.
Yes. Resoundingly yes. It's so fucking stupid here.
In a world where everyone's shoving AI down our throats, a President who makes things up on the fly and says untrue shit just fits in too well.
His latest approval rating reflects roughly a third of americans approve of him. Not sure why you think the whole country approves.
Because you're on here, and not out in the streets burning shit down and chopping the heads off of the criminals destroying your future for personal gain.
A third is still too many
