Tens of thousands of unnecessary covid deaths, massive tax cuts for the rich and tax hikes for the average person, packed the supreme court with activist judges gutting rights and regulations, gross mishandling of classified documents that totally coincidentally coincided with an alarming rate of intelligence assets getting killed, refused to allow the peaceful transition of power, etc., etc., etc., but sure, nothing at all happened under Trump, and Project 2025 definitely won't actually happen if he's reelected, right?

If it'd been done for ideological reasons, I could respect it even if I didn't agree with it. Not sure if I would agree or not, depending on the reasons. But let's be real, Trump didn't do it for ideological or moral reasons. He sold out his country for personal profit, as he does in every other venture.

Nah, it's funny even if Trump leaked documents for personal profit or due to general incompetence. Maybe funnier, since it's Uncle Sam tripped up by an individual idiot perfectly embodying the nation's core capitalist qualities of rapacity and hubris

Also, it doesn't really matter if Trump didn't do it for ideological or moral reasons. Nobody in the colonised world cares too much about how amerikkka imperial hegemony is disrupted, so long as it is.
