So like this still happening
Gaetz said he will relinquish his seat to defend trump in court.
And now is being begged to do that by everyone
Let this come to pass
What youāre saying here is basically a way that one of our institutions (the government in this case) is failing us, by allowing corporate spending to determine their agenda more than the voters. I can agree that itās a chicken/egg sort of thing, but Iād also argue that Trump getting elected was an exercise in everyday people trying to fuck over these institutions that have been failing them for decades. So heās part of the problem, but in the eyes of people who donāt feel like the institution have been serving them, hes a way to at least make things difficult for those institutions. I think itās pretty but I understand it.
Instead they fucked themselves because trump is a shill and patsy he did everything the gop wanted him to do
If he did everything the GOP wanted him to, half of them wouldnāt be throwing him under the bus right now.

Nah the agendas they had he enacted
Not wanting to act on covid he did what they asked
They only turned on him after the election fraud shit
I dont understand why anyone thought Trump was going to do anything to fuck over the institutions that are fucking the general populace. āHes a business man, not a politican.ā Ummmmā¦dudeā¦almost every political was a businessman first. Politics is literally the next step after you get bored being a businessman. He only fucked over the institutions that help the general pop.
The whole mentality was stupid as shit imo. Youāre dumb as fuck if you thought Trump being a business man was some kind of wild card to politics.

What the GOP would have wanted and what Trump gave them were two different things, but Mitch McConnell and co. decided it was better to go all-in on Trumpās agenda in order to pick up some populist voters and have their wealthy donors effectively de-regulated via Trumpās refusal to staff government agencies.
Now the GOP is stuck owning that Q brand. The party of deliberate mismanagement and conspiracy theory as fact. In backing Trump 100%, they let too many of the crazies into their inner circles and now they canāt shake them.

Trump only won cause he ran against Hillary.
Itās hilarious how his base voted for him to say fuck you to these institutions but Trump supported them, gave them the biggest tax breaks and blank checks. 
He served his purpose. He put people into positions of power he didnāt explicitly pick himself and signed whatever the GOP wanted. People thought all his picks would have his back and they left the man hanging.
He was loud sock puppet.

Agreed. If it were Bernie, Trump would have held the L.
He knows how to market an idea. Obviously with multiple bankruptcies, he fails on execution.
They rode those coat-tails to the payday.

It wasnāt that he was a businessman (at least not for most people Iām aware of) just that he wasnāt a politician. Hillary was āthe establishmentā personified and so it makes sense (at least to me) that people who donāt feel like the establishment is working for them would vote en masse for someone who wasnāt seen as being one of āthem.ā
As an added bonus, he was the guy the corporate press and even the GOP themselves didnāt really want.

I canāt disagree with anything youāve said. I just wish an outsider-esque person had gotten elected and was serious about the job.

The vast majority of politicians where businessmen soā¦so what?
No I understand that. But during his election I didnāt hear a lot of āHe isnāt establishmentā I heard a lot of āHeās a business man, heāll rub the country like a businessā and I donāt understand why anyone thought that meant something because again the vast majority of high rank politicians where businessmen. He was literally in the prototype stage for being an establishment member, and he did establishment shit while in office.
Iām not really talking about people who said him not being establishment was a benefit, Iām talking about people who thought being the step before politician meant he would be different.
Itās like staring into the sun and being surprised you go blind.

I like Yang as a guy but Iām not sure heās president material. Iām at a point where Iām not sure that someone who hasnāt been in politics a long time or at least has a significant knowledge of the law can be as effective a prez as someone who knows that stuff.
I would have liked to have seen Yang as education secretary or something like that, he had some good ideas.

Yang was a lawyer and has been dipping his toes into politics for the better part of a decade. He fits the bill of ācapable outsiderā pretty well imho.
But I donāt think heāll ever be president, at least not anytime soon. I also think heāll have a hard time winning the NYC mayor spot.
The way I see it, heās young, heās never held office, and heās a minority, so you have a decent chunk of people that are going to write him off from the jump.

You know whatās funny about this statement, his previous outings tell you exactly how things ultimately would play out. Sitting with a ton of debt youād never pay and the only thing left of value is the name.
