    Okay… so in less than a day, any plausible deniability that Trump thinks himself the dictator of the USA has completely evaporated.

      You would think so, wouldn’t you? I have had the distinct displeasure of viewing Reddit’s r/conservative subreddit though, and to them this is just Trump “trolling.”

      What’s that narcissist’s prayer again? “He didn’t say that. And if he did, it wasnt that bad. And if it was, it’s not a big deal. And if it is, that isn’t his fault. And if it was, he didn’t mean it. And if he did, America deserved it.”

      I legitimately cannot get out of this country fast enough. I already have a plan in motion to escape, as a minority I can’t escape the constant anxiety that something terrible is going to happen to me here…

        There was a lot of humming and hawing about what Trump “really meant” about “dictator for a day”.

      He already said that’s what he wanted. He said it before voting even happened. There was no reason to doubt that’s what he wanted.

        And the people voted for him (or didn’t bother to vote) anyway. America as a whole deserves the shit that we’ve brought down on ourselves, which is really too bad considering how the people that are most actively anti-fascist are going to bear the brunt of the consequences.
