    It’s easily forgotten because he’ll say something new and outrageous again next week. Even his voters don’t know what he intends to do. They just get caught up in whatever word salad they attach to. In reality, he will probably not do a fraction of the bullshit that he spews as promises. He has never kept a promise in his life anyway. He’s not starting now.

    Last time he was president all he did was golfing while letting bad guys run wild. He’s enabling “chaotic evil” by being an idiot.

    For instance, the pathetic half-assed wall didn’t solve the immigration issue at all. The real evil were the stooges organising ICE to encage children.

      It is not random. He has a group of people doing a deceptively good job crafting the message for each region. Just like he did in 2016 with Cambridge Analytica.

      He, himself, is a barely coherent idiot, but I think it allows their message to be received by people who also don’t have that good an education.

      E.G. find one of his speeches from the rust belt. They’re all fairly similar. Will hit notes of corruption, proud people, fight the NYC and California democrats that did this to them, anti-trade and protectionism, etc. Then go find one like this one that was to bible belt extremists. Completely different. Will still hit some common notes(NYC/Cali), but the underlying message and theme are miles apart.

      Edit: to be clear, its all bullshit lies that are telling people exactly what they want to hear.

      The way it works is that when some kind of scandal is unveiled (like project 2025 in this case) he goes with it openly.

      His base hears it and take it that he is just “playing libs and doesn’t really mean it, and even if it does it wouldn’t be a bad idea”

      His base is clearly hopeless, but hopefully it won’t affect independents.
