    Yeah there seems to be this palpable expectation on Lemmy that any day now half of the voting public is going to have some realisation and say “oh my god what have we done”.

    It doesn’t work like that though.

    Most of the actual retarded things Trump said he would do like the tariffs et cetera will be done in performative way. Done in a way that isn’t too disruptive or harmful but still lets him say he stuck it to China.

    The more insidious project 2025 stuff isn’t applied in real time. How does the media report on the slow corrosion of quality of life and rights to privacy et cetera.
