They are desperate to be cool, it’s so cringe.

    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.

      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.

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