As an Arabic speaker I have never heard of number 3, though Arabic is more like forty languages in a trench coat so that's not saying much.

What the fuck does that have to do with the article?

I mean, he passed those two bills (C-2 and C-5 I think?) so he's a conservative even before slashing anything.

Like I have aforementioned, appealing to people’s fears and prejudices isn’t something new or special.

It's not, but establishment politicians on the right stuck to certain limits to keep their image as respectable moderates. Trump doesn't give a shit about that, so he could say things like "they're sending us rapists and drug dealers" and promise nonsense like a Muslim ban. The idea nothing new, but he's a clear escalation on that feont.

MY point and my question to American voters is why they feel that putting a man in a position that he is completely not educated or competent in would be beneficial for anyone?

And my answer is that the people who are educated and competent have done fuckall to make things better, so people who want change now have decisively shifted towards Trump.

We already saw this type of behavior with Hitler. Appealing to people’s fears and prejudices.

Exactly. Hitler appealed to people's fears and prejudices, yes, but he also appealed to their economic uncertainties.

even though he basically flat out lied to his supporters faces, they still support him. Why?

Because he's hurting the people they hate, just like Hitler did. It's the classic fascist playbook; appewl to people's prejudice and economic uncertainty, then keep playing up the former to distract from the latter.

we gotta give him a fair shot.

Why?

What the fuck? Is your hate boner for religion so big that you forgot how to fucking read?

So you are telling me that Donald Trump is a credible attempt to take a sledgehammer to the status quo because he is politically retarded and the left doesn't have someone who is politically retarded so that increases the right-wing pull?

The political retardation isn't necessarily viewed as a bad thing, but that's not the point. Trump is actively, uncompromisingly picking a fight with "them". Draining the swamp, taking on the "deep state," "telling it like it is," et cetera, these things signal change to Trump voters; Trump gives his base the impression of someone who acknowledges that things are bad, promises to fix them and is willing to pick fights with people they despise to make good on that promise. Due to the American Left's parasocial relationship with neoliberals, all major leftwing figures in America hilariously fail number three. Bernie's fight oligarchy rallies that were apparently so significant they kept making national news? To Trump that's just Tuesday. Because apparently that needed repeating: Yes trump is retarded, but that's not the point.

Trying to justify their bajillion-dollar AI investment I see.

I mean, that's exactly why presidents have staff to brief them on things.

Because the clowns running the show weren't willing to even entertain the thought of fixing the deeply broken status quo. When Trump, a political outsider, came and promised to take a sledgehammer to the system he was welcomed with open arms by many of the people who were most hurt by it. Of course Trump is, if anything, an escalation of the worst excesses of the system, but he was still a perfectly positioned straw to people who had nothing to hope for from the status quo. There's simply no equivalent sledgehammer coming from the left, so even people who would be predisposed to progressive politics flock to the only credible attempt to take down the system. What's going to replace it? They don't fucking care; nobody is out there selling the communist utopia so they're flocking to the all-white ethnostate.

PS: To anyone who feels the need to say "but Trump is bad!!!", yes but that's not the point.

So tragic.
