It is, unfortunately, not illegal to lie endlessly to get elected. Anybody who did vote for him and expected different is a fucking idiot who wasn't paying attention and was too entitled/arrogant to listen to the people who were paying attention.

The people who oppose you disagree and see it exactly the opposite. That's why we vote--to see who wants what.

If I could be certain we can vote again in 2 and 4 years to undismantle the government, undo all the damage that these folks have done, I would be fine with that. For those of us who are educated and read history, we know these acts are stupid and will fail badly, leading to a recession, and pandemic, WWIII, perhaps all three at once. I will hold all of you personally responsible for your deluded vote if and when those things occur.
From an outsider's point of view, that was not the people voted for.
When repeatedly pressed on Project 2025, Trump distanced from it and reassured the American people those were just vicious rumors to denigrate him. The campaign was centered on how Biden was old and senile and responsible for every problem ranging from egg prices to Trump's retreat from Afghanistan. Trump's promises were that inflation would be eliminated, jobs would be created, and minority rights would cease to be a part of the US government agenda.
What the Trump administration is implementing bears no resemblance to his program, and looks like a complete dismantlement of the United States of America, including a complete rejection of it's core values.
