Are you shocked about anything Trump or his admin has done so far?

And before anyone snarkily and lazily replies “no. statists gonna state.”, I don’t mean in a general sense. We all knew he was gonna do some BS to some degree. I just wanna know if the amount of violent/statist/hypocritical bullshit he has done so far has superseded your expectations to the point of disbelief?

It has for me tbh. I didn’t vote for him for obvious ancap reasons, but between him and Kamala I was rooting for him in spirit, and after he won I was glad for a while. But now I wonder if the other way around would have been less bad on a larger scale… Idk.

I honestly never expected him to be this evil. I thought he was just stupid; a well-meaning idiot with a big ego. He said all these minarchist libertarianesque things during his campaign, was even endorsed by Dave Smith and other self-proclaimed ancaps who made a concession in this rare case (considering how socialist the dems have become), made campaign promises to the LP to free Ross, create DOGE, end certain taxes, etc.

Maybe I’m just too naive. I guess I just never expected someone to be able to lie like that on that level and then flip the script so hard. All he has actually kept his promise on that was libertarian and really that mattered was freeing that Ross guy. Which let’s be honest, good for him but that is literally irrelevant to everyone other than him and his family. That is practically NOTHING, in terms of what he is actually capable of. It’s like throwing a penny at a beggar.

Other than that nothing really. The level of his negligence and disregard of human rights and basic liberty and individual autonomy is shocking to me. The way he and his entire cabinet treats and talks about Illegal Immigrants, Gazans, Palestinians is inhumane. The reckless anti-diplomacy with other nations like this is a game of Sid Meyers Civilizations trying to grab all the oil and ore and shit. Threatening Thomas Massie. The way they are recklessly handling the deportations in such a rushed and botched way to the point they are deporting LEGAL immigrants and even supposedly US citizens into the El Salvadorian prisons. Not releasing Epstein stuff, but pretending to in such a bizarre way.

Between the two candidates, he was probably the better choice for us as US citizens, because we can keep our guns without that psycho bitch trying to make an executive order to ban “assault weapons”, but I think Trumps actions are more evil on a grander scale in almost every other way when you consider the damage he is doing to non-citizens lives and all the deaths and imprisonments. He really is just evil.

P.S. – And this whole thing also opens up so many more questions for me about the power of AIPAC. There is something so much more corrupt going on with israeli influence on foreign governments than I ever imagined. First, Thomas Massie started blowing the whistle on that, meanwhile trumps campaigning on “America First!” and cutting aid. the moment he gets elected suddenly his interests are israels interests and Thomas Massie needs to get primaried.

I’m not here to shame anyone who voted for him, because we are all inbetween a rock an a hardplace with the options the state has left us and just attempting to claw our way out. But I do hope that any self-proclaimed ancaps who voted for him are disillusioned by this point.
