Alot of us didn't and a lot of us didn't vote for him. We pleaded for common sense. Please keep that in mind. The problem is we underestimated what years of misinformation and grifting had done to many of our neighbors and their ability to think critically.  It's important to remember that Americans aren't naturally dumb. We were feed lies and hatred for generations. Someone (Russia) realized that the best way to beat an opponent is from within.  And it worked. But don't count us out.  By the way the Dow futures are now down by more that 1500 points (4%) . This is now the worst streak in 100 years if it holds and will blow past the Covid drop. And the market isn't even open yet. So many hard working people are losing thousands upon thousands from their 401k. I won't even check mine anymore. |
The US should have reacted after Trump's first term ending in a ill attempted coup. Yet instead everyone went back to sleep, forgot about / downplayed the insurrection and allowed a felon to run for President again. Biden is as much to blame for this.
All the signs were there, project 2025 was out in the open. Yet America's ego stood in the way to seeing what was happening. Or rather closing an eye to past actions and keep on selectively hearing what they like to hear.
It's been a long time coming since American culture started idolizing lies, deceit, might is right, end justifies the means. (Not just American culture, it's an epidemic since the rise of Big Brother) Bush got impunity for launching illegal wars killing millions, nothing came from that. The US/UK governments getting away with "WMD in Iraq" despite all the evidence there weren't any laid the groundwork for where we are today.
People started loving a good lie more than the truth. Shock and Awe over diplomacy. Well here we are at economic shock and awe.

It looks like Putin has something over Trump or his kids. He acts like a compromised president. Or there is something else we don't know about. I doubt he's doing it for free. But he could be as greedy as being promised Russian/Ukrainian resources, that which he has been openly after.
Anyway crashing the markets to make everything cheaper for his billionaire buddies to buy up more of the world sounds entirely plausible.
