I love how American right wing podcasters are acting all surprised that Trump is doing everything he told everyone he would do, if elected president.

He held rallies where the audience where given signs saying “Mass deportation now”. Trump literally said he wanted to be a dictator, but Joe Rogan et al. STILL supported Trump.

And now they are all surprised that Trump is carrying out mass deportations and acting like a dictator?

Come on.

@randahl Their job is to say incendiary stuff and not mean it. That's what makes them their money.

So they just assumed he was like them, and once he had power he'd just sit on it and maybe invite his fellow rabble-rousers to a private island for a vacation.

@randahl Like a German NSDAP voter in 1945 (Sorry German people).

@randahl I think a lot of them are bs'ing. They have to be shocked, shocked now to make the Principled Conservative (TM) schtick work next year.

I'm a monomiac Arendt's Totalitarianism reader. She explained that totalitarian leader in the early times of their carrer were announcing they future crimes and where not heard.

It is a bit reassuring that they are acknoledging it now. It means, it is still possible to agree on some facts.

Their plans had also been online for a couple of years as Project 2025.

@randahl It's so they can carry on supporting him while feigning... I'd say a trace of credibility, but they never had that to any sane mind.
