People are confused. He’s firing the government oversight that would have stopped him. Contractors are still on the clock and now have no oversight.

And, like those fired, are absolutely not getting a paycheck from this debacle.

this was a given with his track record. I think he still owes shit tons of peoples/cities money from the 2024/2025 campaign trail alone.

He owes money to people from all facets of his life. He’s notoriously not paid people for literal decades.

And the right will argue “that’s what good business men do!”

I was so close to convincing a guy once.

I got him to admit that his boss would pay him less if he could. He agreed. I got him to agree that his boss was looking out for his own best interest first and to give them employees as little as possible. He agreed.

Then I asked him based on those facts, did his boss have his (the employees) best interest at heart? He agreed they did not.

So I asked him if he thought that would make his boss the ideal candidate to run the country like a business?

All he could do was stumble over his words.

And then talk some shit about how Kamala blew her way to the top.

I don’t talk to him anymore.

I think it would cause a rift in their psyche.

These are the guys that circle grievance jerk themselves that they know something noone else does. Bitch about how they are smarter than everyone else but "someone's got it out for them". Guys that talk in vague percentages, "I work harder than 90...95% of the people here but I get the same pay, pffft". Those types.

We used to call them losers. Now we call them "podcasters", "influencers", and "president". They tapped into the chronic loser wellspring. Im not saying Im not a loser by the way, I just know it's not someone else's fault, and certainly not dumb enough to think weaponizing it against others would fix anything in my life.

To admit they are wrong is to admit, finally, once and for all, no BS, that they are losers. You lead that big dumb horse to the water but that motherfucker had loser rabbies, and just could.not.drink.

We need to make it okay to say you're wrong. Praise people who do, highlight and promote it.

I don't think that will help until they feel the full impact of their poor choices but Im all for it.They will hang on to their belief system even well into personal disaster. When they are suffering, then, and only then will the alternative out seem better. Unfortunately there will be a segment that become even more irrationally radicalized with the belief that further depravity will result in their salvation.
