Trump got elected because not enough people were paying attention. What we have now is exactly what we expected to happen (I didn't expected it this fast though). Trump has been proven over the years to be a despicable, lying, crooked con-artist. This is not anything "Democratic operatives" came up with, it's just the damn facts.

As Trump ran in 2024 he became more unhinged, more weird, more insane, lied more, berated more, showing fascist and thug tendencies at every turn.

What ya think he was gonna do kids?

In my mind, Trump ran as a celebrity and in the world of the showbiz there is no publicity worse than no publicity. Hell, the more outrageous you are the more people watch you. Maybe they'll even vote for you.
