I thought he was playing a character before he ran for president in 2016. Like I never watched The Apprentice, but I saw ads for it and I figured he was just playing an exaggerated asshole clown of a boss.

If Trump had run and won as a democrat in 2016, I probably would have intensely disliked him like I did Biden and HRC, but not hated him like I do now because the democratic party would have steered him in very different ways than the GOP has.

I largely now hate his voters and hope they suffer far more than I hate Trump. Nothing but antipathy for them.

Believe it or not, I always took it as the opposite. The first time Trump wanted to run he was laughed out of the primary. He had a long history as a narcissistic con man to anyone in the northeast and there’s no way he’d be elected. The entire point of “The Apprentice” was to rebuild his image.

Maybe some people took it as playing an exaggerated asshole clown of a boss, but he was toned down from reality. His narcissism was toned down, he acted mostly morally, less of an asshole, he appeared to know something about business. They even played down his need to plaster his name in gold everywhere. His entire image was much more palatable than the previous two decades of headlines

Unfortunately it succeeded

Above all else, Donald Trump is a useful idiot. More powerful people have been using him for a lot longer than he's been president.

He'll go along with whatever, as long as he gets attention/money. He's crass, so if he was a Democrat president, he'd still be an asshole, but he would have gone along with the liberal policies.

But it would never happen because Democrats are held to a higher standard and, as an idiot, the only way he can make himself stand out is through bigotry, which doesn't fly for liberal voters. DEFINITELY flies for conservatives though.

he is despicable at the atomic level

Don't be a partisan hack. Politics isn't rooting for a sport team, nor a rock concert. Don't follow a leader because they are charismatic or likeable. Instead, support policies that reflect your values. Do not follow a person. If someone presents a policy that you support, or multiple policies that you support, embrace the policy for being great. Not the person. People are not superheroes.

Some MAGoo said he wanted Trump and not miserable Republicans In Name Only.

Obviously, the MAGoo hadn't noticed that Trump was a Dem for years, except when he tried to run for President on the Reform Party ticket

I don't hate him. He's a typical rich asshole who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

I'd have no problem with him if he spent his time playing golf and sailing yachts, as long as he paid his taxes and would be held accountable for any fraud he commits.

I hate the people who looked at this guy and said "he represents me, I want him in charge". Or "I don't understand what the words communist or fascist mean, I just want him to hurt those other people I don't like".

The people who put him in power are the problem. Without them he would just be another rich asshole saying bigoted shit on social media that we could just ignore. If they didn't put him in the White House, there's at least a chance that he'd be held accountable for his crimes.

His social media posts would be a case of "say whatever you want old man, you're just making yourself look foolish.". Instead he has a platform to make the entire country look foolish.

When he was campaigning the first time he bragged that the irs did not have the ability to untangle his businesses enough to prove anything ….. somehow people thought that was a good thing?

[–] zxqwas@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago (18 children)

If he was running as a democrat would you have voted for a generic republican instead?

What's with that photo of Trump? He looks like he's been on the fat drug for a year.

Does this count as a shitpost? I mean it’s about a piece of shit, but I’m not sure it’s the same thing.

This last election I voted Dem. Not because I thought she was worth a shit, but she was imo the better of the two options. Political party doesn't mean shit to me.

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

If the democrats party worshipped a corrupt fascist narcissist, I would be out on the street with my hammer and sickle dancing around the maypole

[–] HCSOThrowaway@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (6 children)

His logic is based in the notion that Party must be placed above Country or Principles.

... which is insane, and arguably exactly how the worst governments in history got so bad.
