Really, I do not want to be guy saying "I told you so."
That said, all of this was really, really predictable. When Trump got elected to yet another term following the disastrous first four years (plus January 6th, plus his Trust Social post about wanting to suspend parts of the Constitution, plus his not backing away from being a dictator "on day one," plus him having the most extensively documented history of anyone lying in history and making still more over the top promises that everyone frankly should have known he could and would never keep), it reminded me so much of the 2004 election 20 years before, that it was sickening.
Except this was worse. Far worse, frankly.
Like with George W. Bush, I knew that the polls seemed to show that Americans were reluctant both to support this guy, but also reluctant not to support him (if that makes sense). You could just tell that this guy was going to get another term, because apparently, people somehow had not yet figured out that he is nothing short of a disaster for this country.
And like the 2004 election win, I knew that this would be followed up quickly with the now newly elected president quickly falling in poll numbers, which frankly hardly means anything after the fact of him being reelected.
For Trump, it seems like the poll numbers have fallen even more dramatically than they did for Bush, which is almost hard to believe. The news just keeps getting worse for them, or so we are told.
Except for one thing: it hardly matters to them. After all, Trump is in power now. His party - and let's face it, it is his party in pretty much every way - controls both chambers of Congress as well as the Supreme Court. And yes, he has shown inclinations towards trying to become a dictator, which was also predictable. To staying in power no matter what.
And now, finally, a majority of Americans seem to be waking up to the dangers. Only now, once they put this clearly deranged and unhinged man into the highest office in the land - twice now!
Why is it that people laugh off the warnings of the real perils of putting someone like this in power until it is too late? People would literally laugh and suggest that those of us warning about him were alarmists or exaggerating, overstating our case.
Only now, not even two years into his term, are they waking up to the fact that, yes, the warnings that this guy really is a dictator, or a wannabe who now controls the levers or power to really become one, are they finally waking up to the fact that indeed, he sure seems to be acting like a dictator ruling with total impunity. Every unfavorable poll is fake news, every election he loses is fake, and he ignores court rulings and does what he wants. That includes a war without either seeking Congressional approval or making the case to the American people. And let's not even get into how he is defacing the nation's capital, and putting his face on the sides of buildings, just like a third world dictator would. Or putting his face on passports or trying to put himself on a proposed $250 bill.
Yes, only now, after the American people collectively put this absolutely incompetent and blatantly corrupt man in office for a second time are people waking up to the fact that he does indeed pose a real danger to democracy.
Ya think?
Did you believe we were warning about him for our health, or just because we have something called "Trump Derangement Syndrome?"
Wake the hell up, already!
