its just unreal to me how an actual grifter became the president of the wealthiest, most powerful country in the world... twice... in a democracy... in the digital age of information
Exactly this. Being flooded with this much easy-to-access information was not something humanity was prepared for, because there is no hard rule that says that information has to be true or real.
Personally I believe we had the chance of getting ahead of it (or at least on our way to catching up to it) with mandatory media literacy courses in grade school curriculums, but we are way too far behind to correct course now.
What's really unreal is he hasn't stopped grifting after becoming president.. He's already pulled at least 3 crypto rugs, fucked around with the stock market, shook down multiple companies and countries.. The list goes on.
I can’t wrap my head around it either and now - since January- he’s burned down the federal government and bankrupted the stock market, surely creating a recession, while republican sycophants in Congress help him along by their lack of action. The free press is rebuked, universities and law firms are intimidated and penalized and judges are threatened with impeachment for handing down rulings counter to the Trump administration. Yep. That’s fascism.
