  It would be the least convincing yet most welcome heel-face turn of the century tbh

    There was a time, in December of 2016, where I really thought that trump might come out as a democrat after taking office. I think I’d still prefer Gore had been inaugurated, if we’re changing the presidencies of this century, but trump coming out swinging for progressive causes (or at least socially progressive causes, because he’s been too rich for any actually leftist fiscal policies) would have been nice

      A narcissist excels at vaguely indicating how great things might be if they got their way.

        Hey just FYI that word is an ableist slur that entered the popular lexicon through self-help scams after two thousand years of being used to villify queer people, and it doesn’t apply to Trump.

      People don’t remember how he flat out campaigned on some policies that were to the left of Hilary. They don’t remember his charisma in the Republican debates, the way he expertly worked crowds back in 2015-16. They ask have forgotten about how he said he’ll “drain the swamp” and that he was “self funding his campaign” so he “wouldn’t be beholden to any other interests”

      Turns out he was just a sad wannabe dictator who can’t even manage to control a Latin American nation with the full force of the US Military, let alone establish himself as emperor over the 'states

      I was hoping the tariffs would be good, but I certainly expected it to be a disaster otherwise.

      In retrospect, it was just really bad, and his tariffs were a ham-fisted turd. He saved the demolition of the country for his second term, after he let Stephen Miller run things and got rid of anyone who was telling him no.

      I dunno, I can only think of sad and useless examples like Patty Hearst.

      I guess Smedley Butler. Hard to find examples of prominent leaders though. Social dominators really prefer authoritarian followers over us obstreperous thinky-feely types.
