I think it’s much sadder (more sad? saddest) that people fall for such absurd douche bags. If they would at least be sexy and seem smart you could understand how people could be fooled but this is just too hard to watch.
Yeah like, they have negative charisma, so it’s extra baffling. I cannot imagine a world in which I’d support Donald Trump, but definitely not in this one where he routinely shits his own diaper. If he was only disgusting mentally but was a good speaker or handsome or whatever, it would make at least a little more sense
A charismatic tyrant at least provides SOME excuse. People aren’t necessarily monsters, they are just gullible.
When you have someone as decrepit and incompetent as trump who ALSO has a visible diaper bulge at his hips and who can’t speak a coherent sentence? There is no argument other than people truly choosing hate above all else.
The sad thing is that the bar is so low. If it was a once in a century charismatic leader you could say “I get how people fell for this!”. But the fact it’s Trump and Musk just exposes how utterly flawed human society is, and how easy it is to slide backwards. Humanity has no excuse for this one.
I don’t know about Clooney. His wife is one of the good eggs in this world and I’d think she would kick him in the grapes if he was a shithead loser like these fucks.
Because it’s so much better when they’re charismatic assholes?
It would make more sense.

Negative charisma means they can’t be the anti-christ! So we’re golden! Tada!
I think they relate better to douchey, stupid people which allows them to more easily imagine themselves being rich one day.
Propoganda fucking works, simple as that
Billionaires just buy good press and publicists to manage their image, it’s so effective they believe it themselves
So like, if instead of musk and zuckerburg, it were a 1990s George Clooney? The smug bastard…
I’ll hate him just as much… but damn does he look good doing it.
People will kiss anyone’s ass for enough money.

Yeah, I don’t get this. If it was George Clooney or some other charismatic/likeable person, they’d still be fucking us over.
Yeah but at least they’d have style. Their popularity would at least make sense. It would feel a little less horrifyingly alienating.

Agreed. Tom Brady being the football goat doesn’t make him being MAGA any more palatable.
The smug bastard…
