Some day we're going to have flying cars. There, now when we actually get flying cars, no one is allowed to talk about it.
You see the point there? Lots of crazy people run for president and say crazy things, that doesn't mean you panic about it right then, because the odds of them getting elected is so slim. And lots of people say crazy things to get elected, then never do those things because those things would be crazy. What we have here is a crazy person who got elected by promising crazy things, and is now following through on those crazy things.
That's why this is novel even though he's been saying these things for over a year.
- asveikau 10y agoSounds to me like you didn't accurately analyze the threat and now you are making excuses about how nobody could see it. People saw it. PS: I have followed US elections before, I am a DC native and followed them since I was a kid (now in my thirties) - I have observed differences between campaign promises and execution/governance, but this one was still pretty easy to predict based on what we knew before. The bigger shock is that he won in the first place.
