The president is a master of ‘look over there’ – but not when his supporters’ core beliefs about the ‘deep state’ are in play

Josh Johnson made a good point the other day…
There is so much shit that needs fixed, and can be easily fixed, and if trump actually fixed some of it, people would authentically move on. At least for a while.
The standards are embarrassing low, so it honestly wouldn’t take much.
He didn’t come in go fix things. You can argue he did the first time he was president (even though most of his decisions then also backfired and were shit) but this time around all he’s doing is destroy things.
I think he purely came in to avoid being arrested for treason. Dude doesn’t really care about the rest anymore.
First time around about the only thing he actually got done was a tax cut for the rich, which helps to break things, too.
But yeah, the second time around he told all his dumbass supporters that he’s their retribution, and he seemingly means it, although it’s mostly about all his petty grievances - personal and the ones he picked up from Bullshit Mountain, like the obsession with trans and people being “woke”.
Although nothing he is doing will help his average supporter. Sure, it will help his donor class supporters to transfer even MORE wealth upwards. The average working schmoe? How are they going to benefit by Taco canceling education, canceling comedy and breaking things like scientific research? It won’t, but these asshats think they are “owning the libs”.
Trump could demand congress legalize weed and instantly double his support base.
Easy wins, avoided
Man this administration actively removed anything that could improve people’s lives. No way they are giving them weed. I’m actually expecting them to push for the states that legalized it to make it illegal again.
This why it’s a big deal Biden didn’t federally legalize…
Trump could order the Fed to raid every weed store in a blue state, seize all the cash (because they can’t use banks) and then use that money for whatever he wants.
Every day I’m shocked he hasn’t done.
Don’t give them ideas
He has too much slaver (for-profit prison) support to even come close to that.
Police unions hate legalization, it takes away one of their “most powerful tools” – ie, ways to pull people over, search their persons, cars, and houses, take their assets, and have a made-for-TV press conference with a big pile of drugs, guns, and money
