    Trump promised to drain the swamp on his first term and has Project 2025 to gut the government on his second term. He is changing the system as he has promised. Most of us with common sense see him as a maniac who is undermining democracy itself but the people who voted for him got the systemic change they wanted. The current system isn’t work for them and they voted to change it. They have been crushed enough by the current system that they don’t mind the possibility of a nightmare factory as much as the reality that they have to live with.

    Everything is so expensive and someone needs to change it. They voted for a disaster but it is a difference.

      He promised to “drain the swamp”, then made it swampier and left a giant pile of swamp shit for everyone else to clean up. And now these idiots forgot or weren’t paying attention the first time, so they invited him back to do it again.

        They didn’t care about draining the swamp. They voted to change the people doing the actual jobs. They don’t want less spending. They want any change that they can get.
