      Trump has a discipline of a 5 year old. I may be coping here but I have trouble believing he would follow through on anything that doesn’t financially benefit him, his family, or his business.

      For example, the deportation would likely not be as big and sweeping as Trump makes it out to be. Without immigrants, who would Trump exploit for cheap labor for his hotels.

      Obviously.

      The marks will learn the hard way.

      And it will be up to the smart people to clean up their mess.

      Defense “[officials are now gaming out various scenarios](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8RYRjgtQnY) as they prepare for an overhaul of the Pentagon” & “orders to deploy active-duty troops domestically” according to multiple articles last week & the linked analysis that covered them.

      What about democrat warnings about billionaires owning our media outlets? Looking at you WP

      Sure wouldn’t know it by the way Biden welcomed Trump into the White House or by Garlands prosecutions or lack there of. I see zero fire coming from the Dems except maybe AOC. The actions from the Dems do not match their rhetoric. “The elections is over. Guess we don’t have to do anything.” Rightly or wrongly, that’s the perception.

      Likely not, but it would be nice if Dems actually stood by their words and acted like Trump is the danger that he is instead of just acquiescing or suddenly becoming all friendly with Trump. Suddenly after the election they’re like “we need to unite and stop the vitriol and tone down the rhetoric,” which suggests they weren’t really all that concerned.

      Not giving WAPO a click. just remembered to cancel my Amazon Prime.

      Both Biden and Harris were pilloried by the media at various times for their warnings about the threat Trump posed to democracy, and those warnings were derided as simultaneously too abstract and too hyperbolic while also causing voters to tune out.

      Now that the election is over, the hot take artists are mad Biden didn’t challenge Trump to a duel when he showed up at the White House, but I have a feeling they’ll learn the threat was tangible, and that those warning weren’t hyperbole.

      With the voters not listening to the warnings about Trump it is naive to think Harris could have an economic message that would have made a difference.

    12. LingonberryHot8521 on

      Wow, Washington Post. Thanks for writing hit pieces on the Democratic Party candidates to help him get here!

      Effing A-holes.

    13. Sideshift1427 on

      If only the Washington Post had joined in once in a while and maybe endorsed the person who was issuing the warning.

    14. Blue_Lake_3386 on

      Trump normalized crazy. Americans got so numb to his obsessant lying, abuse, dementia and vulgarity that nobody took it seriously anymore. “Trump is just being Trump”

    15. witchgrove on

      someone tell the liberal media who is now normalizing Trump, again.

    16. FalstaffsGhost on

      Yep. And now the folks who fuck around are going to find out. It just sucks that the rest of us will have to suffer with them.

    17. rollem on

      When his own chief of staff called him a literal fascist, you shouldn’t lump it in with normal campaign rhetoric.

    18. fiesty_cemetery on

      No but the news and right-wing influencers sure helped sane wash Trump.

      Oh and Elmo helped steal the election for Trump

    23. Firm-Advertising5396 on

      Democracy and the Constitution are not important to the majority of American citizens who voted….Its that simple.
      I am still struggling with this.

    25. gamergirlpeeofficial on

      You liberals have to understand: conservatives did not vote for Trump out of ignorance of his fascism. They voted for fascism. They wanted Trump to hurt people. That’s the whole point.

    26. nonreturnableplug on

      Well no shit. They don’t care, never have and never will. It’s all just jokes memes and gotcha phrases to them. Nothing ever taken seriously. They’ll pray for forgiveness when it all hits the fan, while externally blaming democrats and *da libs* for everything instead of taking accountability.

    28. The-Irk on

      Then why didn’t/don’t they *do* **something** instead of just talking about it?

    29. Red_Wing-GrimThug on

      There was a whole manifesto released that outlined what would happen

    31. stupidlyboredtho on

      Every time i open reddit i see a new “Here’s ANOTHER reason why the dems lost!!!”

      Like bro fuck off we get it stop making excuses. What Kamala did in 100 days was almost miraculous but ultimately it wasn’t enough and Americans decided to cut off their nose to spite their faces.

      Time to stop wallowing in defeat and start taking action before it’s too late.

    32. Opposite-Invite-3543 on

      “Leftist policies are too radical”

      As Trump actively destroys the federal government and all the help it provides.

    33. Snuffy1717 on

      And yet WaPo decided not to endorse Kamala because Bezos is a prick…

    34. Dat_Basshole on

      It doesn’t matter. Republicans will deny that he’s a fascist until they’re the ones getting round up. It’s not their problem until it affects them directly.

      That’s the sad reality of those afflicted with Conservatism.

    35. trexmom19 on

      No shit Sherlock and yet WaPo decided to just sane wash his rantings. The hypocrisy is rank
