And people here used to be genuinely fearful that Meatball Ron would take down the man he quite literally owes his entire career to. lol
Maybe he had a slim chance once...but then he opened his mouth.
I was one of them.
In my defense - I didn't know he sounded like the very whiny asshole in a fifth-rate sitcom.
It's fine, didn't mean to dunk on ya! I'm more just amused by his fall from grace compared to where he was only a few months ago.
i mean he did look like he had a chance before Trump started shooting.
I do wonder how much of this is because of his legal stuff with Disney making him look foolish and weak. Also kind of putting an end to the "but he's an intelligent fascist who knows how to work in the system to get the awful things he wants" talking points.
Time after time, I'm reminded that "intelligent fascist" is an oxymoron. Unfortunately, you don't need to be smart to be successful I guess.
Unfortunately, there are plenty of intelligent fascists. We just live in the time of failsons.
I don't think anybody predicted how bad he'd be with the "people who have heard him talk" demographic
Liberals still can't fathom why people like Trump. I feel like I've been explaining why for 8 years and none of them get it, they can't let go of their personal distase.
