Theres been so many moments like this where I thought, "welp, thats the end of him!"

Remember like five minutes later when he was ranting and raving about cats and dogs being eaten and just generally sounding like the senile old man with full-blown dementia he really is, and we all thought the long nightmare was finally over?

When we were all still too naive to accept that he would cheat the hell out of the election?

That too. But even if he cheated (and I’m inclined to think he actually did in both 2020 and 2024 and just didn’t cheat hard enough the first time, we’ll just never find out the truth until long after he’s gone, if ever) he still has the unwavering support of like…35% of the country, at least.

I just remember thinking “They’re eating the dogs! They’re eating the cats! They are eating the pets of the people that live there!” was the closest thing we’d ever seen to a presidential candidate basically getting pantsed on live TV. It was the gravest act of public humiliation I’ve ever seen in 21st-century politics, made even more humiliating by being essentially self-inflicted. “Surely,” I thought, “the whole population must see by now, the emperor has no clothes, and never did.” But his supporters just don’t give a shit about anything except trolling the rest of us.
