Exactly. If he said "In this case, I was the stupid partisan", MAYBE I would have a couple ounces of respect. That'll never happen though. This doesn't mean shit.
"Different", not worse. He can't even admit that it's a bad idea. He says it like he's just not figured out Trumps amazing 4d chess move. He's waiting for the moment he can reply to this tweet with "Aha! It was all according to plan. Checkmate, stupid leftists".
I’m conflicted on people using the term Trump 2.0. Yes, he is certainly even worse this time around, but he was already so blatantly vile that describing him as “very different” now just seems like a cop out to not admit they supported (and are still mostly supporting) a fascist
Except all the people on the left that repeatedly warned exactly this would happen. We knew Trump 2.0 was different: the difference is all the yes men he's surrounded with and we've been sounding the alarm this whole time
Exactly, I know we're supposed to be treating Trump supporters with all of this sweet wonderful kindness and welcoming them back into the fold if they realize they've made a mistake but I am absolutely not going to be fucking doing that. Every last one of them can go fuck themselves.
That would imply that he also thought it would actually happen. The spirit of the original tweet is "this is so ridiculous, no one believes this will really happen." Then it happened and that's what he was wrong about, partisan or not. It's the "fairly stupid partisans" he was making fun of who were right along.
