Quote:People have been taking Trump lightly here for years. They did it before the election, they did it during the election, and they're doing it after the election. And if anyone tries to suggest "hey maybe we should take this seriously", they get called a doomposter. I've been complaining about this since like 2023.
But in this instance I don't think you'll find a post of me saying "WW3 is definitely happening and we should all buy fallout shelters". But also maybe we shouldn't be telling people to stop reacting rationally to a direct threat by a foreign power who has shown to be following through on threats people assumed he never would.
And I'm not talking about anything a mod said either. I'm talking about the forum. If Trump or the people connected to Trump starts talking some wild shit, take it seriously. Or at least stop shaming people who do. I don't think that's a hard ask of this forum.
But you are not acting rationally. Most people knew that he was going to backpedal while trying to save face. You are not selling Trump as incompetent retard that is going to fuck something he shouldn't, but as a Lex Luthor villainous mastermind hellbent on conquering the world.
Just like Uncle thinks that Mexico caved (
) you think Trump is more competent than he is when he shouldn't. Is not that Trump did not something, but that he did it and did it badly and backpedaled, but you don't know how capitalize on it.
