Almost as though it were real lives, actual people, circumstances and consequences, rather than a large sim full of NPC’s.

At this stage the approval rating is high (for trump). Bordering 50%.
The drastic decisions that have been made, have yet to hit the average American’s hip pocket in a big way.
It’s only a matter of time before the cost of living rises. With high unemployment, Tariffs, Government departments being gutted, and large scale deportation, and destroying Medicaid….Cost of living will go up, And even the approval polls have indicated that people are doing it harder since the change of government.

the illusion of action
politically disengaged people watched the democrats do fk all to improve their lives for four years. now all of a sudden there’s a flurry of activity, the government’s actually doing something.
like dropping senior players to bring rookies in “can’t be any worse” when we’re already losing games

There is also the carrot of a early draft pick.
It’s going to wear very thin, very soon.
I don’t think things will get slightly worse… it’s going to get a lot worse, especially for those low SES areas that have been cult-like for Trump.

imo the dems should think about trading out their #1 pick to rand paul or jill stein and get in some experience plus some future picks
seriously though i think the allure of “blow it all up and start again” has been completely overlooked by legacy media

The art of the deal Rule #51: Self reinforcement. Make sure to frequently give yourself some much-needed pats on the back! Nobody is doing a better job than you! Even if you haven’t yet done much, if anything, at all. Deals take time (sometimes 24hrs) and you are here for the long haul!
I mean I wouldnt blame Ukraine for restarting their nuclear program when basically nobody has kept their side of the agreement.

One of Trump’s listed ‘wins’ that piqued my interest was this one:
Well this story just about sums up Trump’s presidency so far:
“Bragg is back baby”
By John Ismay
Reporting from Washington
- Feb. 10, 2025, 11:39 p.m. ET
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Monday that he is renaming Fort Liberty, whose previous name honoring the Confederate general Braxton Bragg was changed in 2023 as part of a wider effort to eliminate military honors bestowed on individuals who rebelled against the Union during the Civil War.
The move returns the Army base in North Carolina to being called Fort Bragg, but the name will now honor an enlisted Army soldier named Roland L. Bragg, who according to a Pentagon statement was awarded a Silver Star and the Purple Heart for combat during World War II.
The Pentagon statement offered no further biographical information about Pfc. Bragg, but a Military Times website that collects historical information on valor awards, shows that a Roland L. Bragg earned a Silver Star while serving with the 17th Airborne Division during World War II. The site did not have a photo of Pfc. Bragg or the citation that would offer the reasons he received that award.
The 17th Airborne fought in Germany at the Battle of the Bulge in late 1944, and parachuted across the Rhine River in March 1945.
The 2021 defense budget directed that nine military bases that honored Confederate figures would be renamed after review by a commission of retired senior military officers and civilians.
The commission said in a 2022 report that it purposefully did not choose different honorees with the same last name as the Confederate figures.
Mr. Hegseth’s decision, however, does exactly that — swapping out Braxton Bragg in favor of Roland L. Bragg.
The 2022 report noted that Braxton Bragg was a slave-owning plantation owner who is considered to be “one of the worst generals of the Civil War,” and that most of the battles in which he was involved ended in defeat and tremendous losses for the Confederate Army.
President Trump, during his first term, had objected to the removal of Confederate names from military bases. He vetoed the defense bill that included the provision, only for the Senate to vote overwhelmingly to override it.
In an Oct. 2024 campaign event in Fayetteville, N.C., Mr. Trump had pledged to change the name of Fort Bragg back from Fort Liberty.
On Mr. Hegseth’s first day at the Pentagon, he referred to Fort Bragg in remarks to reporters as well as Fort Benning, another base formerly named for a Confederate that was renamed to Fort Moore.
Mr. Hegseth issued the Fort Bragg memorandum on Monday while flying to Europe on a military plane. In a video posted on a Pentagon website, the secretary is seen sitting at a desk while signing the memo.
“That’s right,” he said after reading a portion of the order, “Bragg is back.”

There’s one positive in all this. If Elon and a a dozen kids can brake the US government then where are the Illuminati, Freemasons, Rothchilds, lizard people, deep state, jesuits and bankers that supposedly run the show? Shouldn’t they be fighting back right about now. Turns out it was allways just boring but qualified bureaucrats.

Look, if I was in my late teens…… I could see the appeal of someone coming in, and tearing down the whole government system, to start again.
But when I was a teenager I was expecting that person to be someone like Iggy Pop, not a narcissistic con-man, that Inherited his wealth, who wants to replace government departments with billion dollar contracts for his own company.
