People voted for a fictional Trump they made up in their heads and the question is whether the massive propaganda apparatus behind him can maintain that fiction while he does all the things many of his voters told themselves he wouldn’t do Carl Quintanilla (@carlquintanilla.bsky.social)

‪Dieterjosef‬ ‪@dieterjosef.bsky.social‬

People will be disappointed, just like Brexit-Voters. Voting just out of contempt, uninformed, with illusionary expectations.

4/35
‪CRobertBuchanan‬ ‪@crobertbuchanan.bsky.social‬

Surprised faces are about to get eaten.

5/35
‪Eric Columbus‬ ‪@ericcolumbus.bsky.social‬

Some voted for a fictional Trump they made up, some voted for him because the cruelty was the point, and some voted for him because he pledged to bring down prices and fix the border. Without the third bucket he would have lost.

6/35
‪hravishran.bsky.social‬ ‪@hravishran.bsky.social‬

I think the third bucket is really just the first. A Trump that is able to bring down prices is a fiction they made up.

7/35
‪Mike Demenchuk‬ ‪@mikechuk21.bsky.social‬

Also Biden already (grudgingly) fixed the border after inadvisedly assuring everyone nothing was wrong for about two years. So what *real* mandate does Trump actually have? He doesn't seem interested in lowering prices, just smiting his enemies and putting his boot on anyone vaguely foreign.

8/35
‪hravishran.bsky.social‬ ‪@hravishran.bsky.social‬

Trump admin 1.0 accomplished exactly one thing, which was to lower taxes on the rich. Why would 2.0 be any different?

9/35
‪Mike Demenchuk‬ ‪@mikechuk21.bsky.social‬

Great point. Hopefully we won't get hundreds of thousands of excess deaths as a throw-in this time, but I'm not optimistic.

10/35
‪The Grey King‬ ‪@thegreyking.bsky.social‬

Pretty sure several of them think he has ripped abs and a perfect chin as well.

11/35
‪Happy Nute Dawn‬ ‪@nutedawn.bsky.social‬

The other question I think is whether the economy stays good enough for ordinary people that they ignore all of that other stuff anyway and make the propaganda apparatus’ job easier

12/35
‪A Progressive Libertarian‬ ‪@tiggersdad.bsky.social‬

It is almost certain Trump is going to screw up the economy. Yesterday was just a taste of what’s to come.

13/35
‪Alex גדעון בן װעלװל‬ ‪@jewishwonk.bsky.social‬

We're about to find out who was lying to themselves about Trump and who was lying to themselves about their own values.

14/35
‪matt schaar‬ ‪@skeptocapital.com‬

I mean, they made up the illusion years ago that he was a successful businessman so crafting another false narrative around Trump is not anything new.

15/35
‪Jok Darfeeg‬ ‪@pargloss.bsky.social‬

Liberals think Joe Biden wants a ceasefire and that his CDC is following the science

16/35
‪DeeDee‬ ‪@deee-deee.bsky.social‬

Read your post aloud. Think about it.
Delete this nonsense.

17/35
‪Jok Darfeeg‬ ‪@pargloss.bsky.social‬

Joe Biden has vetoed five U.N. ceasefire resolutions, sent a 15 month supply of 2000 pound bombs to the Zionist occupation, lied about beheaded babies and mass rapes on October 7 and Hamas being under Al Shifa hospital, and 👇

Jok Darfeeg (@pargloss.bsky.social)

18/35
‪Jok Darfeeg‬ ‪@pargloss.bsky.social‬

He has also bombed Yemen and threatened to bomb Lebanon and Iran if they try to stop the Zionist occupation from committing atrocities like this 👇 10 days ago he hosted Yoav Gallant at the White House after the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for him

Jok Darfeeg (@pargloss.bsky.social)

19/35
‪Blake105‬ ‪@blake105.bsky.social‬

Missing link in this post is whether there will be any counter programming to the “massive propaganda apparatus behind him.” History will say no including the side lining of Waltz during the campaign and now AOCs defeat. The same AOC whose questioning of Michael Cohen lead to Trump’s civil cases.

20/35
‪Jok Darfeeg‬ ‪@pargloss.bsky.social‬

Do you wear a N95 mask in public

21/35
‪DeeDee‬ ‪@deee-deee.bsky.social‬

Easy answer.

Do you wash your hands after using the bathroom or before you eat?

If not, you’re a reason why we should..

22/35
‪Jok Darfeeg‬ ‪@pargloss.bsky.social‬

Most liberals don’t wear a N95 mask in public because Joe Biden lied to them that they don’t need to if they’re vaccinated

23/35
‪DeeDee‬ ‪@deee-deee.bsky.social‬

Miss me with that BS..
Take your dog & pony show over to X/Twitter

24/35
‪Jok Darfeeg‬ ‪@pargloss.bsky.social‬

How many liberals do you know who wear N95 masks in public

25/35
‪DeeDee‬ ‪@deee-deee.bsky.social‬

You are still blabbing about N95?

Really? 😂

26/35
‪Jok Darfeeg‬ ‪@pargloss.bsky.social‬

That’s what I thought. The party of Rationality and Science

27/35
‪Cajun AF‬ ‪@cajunasfukk.bsky.social‬

They forgot one of. Do you support Trump giving the military orders to kill American citizens. Because it’s coming.

28/35
‪Aaron Ross Powell‬ ‪@aaronrosspowell.com‬

I'm hopeful this doesn't just lead to a backlash in the midterms, but also flips the press a bit away from their current obsequious posture. They'll feel more adverstarial when it's clearer most people don't like the administration, instead of the story they're telling themselves now that most do.

29/35
‪Jon Bakos‬ ‪@jonbakos.bsky.social‬

I hope there's still midterms

30/35
‪Suzynuze‬ ‪@suzynuze.bsky.social‬

Made up in their heads with the help of the NYT/WaPo etc sanding down all the rough authoritarian edges.

31/35
‪Rick does Math and Stuff‬ ‪@mathandstuff.bsky.social‬

The media literally buried his incompetent response to Covid as well as his attempt to use violence and other illegal methods to stay in power.

Until we get better news coverage, I'm not seeing a limit here.

32/35
‪Sarcastic Small‬ ‪@sarcasticsmall.bsky.social‬

No need for a propaganda apparatus. The problem is that he told everyone he was going to do these things. At rallies. In interviews. In posts on TS. By messaging through supporters - to the extent of nominating those who openly supported this.

The voters chose to not believe this on their own.

33/35
‪wpkirsch.bsky.social‬ ‪@wpkirsch.bsky.social‬

Don't forget an unknown percentage of these people voted for the REAL Trump but don't want to admit they like the racism, misogyny and kicking down so they claim they voted for something else.

34/35
‪Sepideh‬ ‪@sepideh26.bsky.social‬

It’s astonishing that he still receives 20% to 30% support for these ridiculous ideas. That’s really scary. Very scary.

35/35
‪Tony Lizza‬ ‪@tonylizza.bsky.social‬

They must have. In his last rallies before the election, he sounded shockingly sad and low-energy for a guy whose supposed brand was all about strength and toughness. I was genuinely surprised at how bad he looked and sounded.

Them big corps money talks. We won't see a mass deportation either, that would cripple the economy.

Cacs and c00ns had to know they were voting for a pathological liar right?
If people are paying for food at the current price why woulf producers and distributors low it without some gov subsidies?

Once something goes up thats
It.

Billionaires like Peter Thiel and Elon Musk back candidates who push culture wars, not economic reform. Because wedge issues like immigration and trans rights keep people distracted while the rich get richer.

Trump is gonna abolish H1Bs and replace it with Green Cards

[Quoted tweet]
Dude Trump was on the All In podcast before the election saying he wanted to STAPLE A GREEN CARD TO EVERY UNIVERSITY DEGREE IN THE USA.

@Simone_DeAlba
HEADS UP: If you were planning to go to the National Mall to watch the indoor inauguration from the Jumbotrons- those have been removed.

The National Park Service says they were taken down at the request of the Presidential Inaugural Committee



2/11
@Heathfeath45
All the people talking about "safety" like Washington DC has never held an inauguration for a POTUS. Obama had a lot of death threats but he still went out and did it. DC is probably the safest place in the country right now. But sure-"safety".



3/11
@ksaloha
Wow. They didn’t want anyone to see it outside. Why??? What would that hurt? I will not watch but I see people have make the trip to DC and are now being COMPLETELY SHUT OUT. Why???



4/11
@jasongordo626
They don’t want pictures of small crowds watching on the national mall.



5/11
@chances4u
Why? Anyone know?



6/11
@RoxaneLGibson1
Holy smokes. Something is so going on.
Trump wants it dark for some reason.



7/11
@ArtemisBSG
I think a story about all the vendors being paid is warranted 👀🤷‍♀️Ya know, from the bleachers, Jumbotron’s etc. I’d like to know if they’re still being paid in full by Trump 🤷‍♀️



8/11
@bobpress
Two things:
1. Fear of a small crowd size
2. Donny is done with the need for the Rube faction of MAGA
or probably both, it's not the weather.



9/11
@LuluSez1
Not a problem. I’m going to dress in all black for mourning and go to an art museum to pretend it isn’t happening



10/11
@ChrisRoach513
And all of this over weather of being 25 degrees .. ok



11/11
@EnlightenMatter
If you’re in DC, be safe. Safe bet these changes to the inauguration have little to do with the weather

‪Mikey Likey‬ ‪@mikeythedude.bsky.social‬

MAGA voters will soon realize, if they haven't started to already, that Trump bends the knee to the wealthy benefactors who've contributed to putting him in Office. He doesn't care about the Country or the People. He cares about those whom have, and will continue to, bankroll his state of power.

4/12
‪getbacktologic.bsky.social‬ ‪@getbacktologic.bsky.social‬

Nothing could be further from the truth. The guy lost a lot of money even running for president in 2016 because he sold polarizing and against the system half the country has been brainwashed to hate him

5/12
‪Toni‬ ‪@toniwells.bsky.social‬

Are you joking? He’s been raking in $$ off the presidency, from billionaire donations to selling merch to his maga base. He just made $150B on his new crypto coin. He’s the greatest conman to ever make it to the Oval Office. With his cabinet of billionaires, he is ushering in a US oligarchy.

6/12
‪Toni‬ ‪@toniwells.bsky.social‬

Not to mention him evading justice for all his criminal activities by taking office again. The US has a felon for a President now. Emboldened by his lack of consequences, you can expect cruelty and depravation on the working class from his admin.

7/12
‪Toni‬ ‪@toniwells.bsky.social‬

Expect rising prices on everything too. Especially food and lumber, once he puts those tariffs in place. Welcome to a new America, run by billionaires for billionaires. Start growing your own food now & learn how to build your own house. Millions of us are expected to be displaced in the next decade

8/12
‪getbacktologic.bsky.social‬ ‪@getbacktologic.bsky.social‬

We have a president that had 30% inflation over 4 years + let somewhere between 12 and 14 million people in this country illegally and now you're saying we're going to be displaced by Trump?

9/12
‪Toni‬ ‪@toniwells.bsky.social‬

No, not by Trump, by extreme weather: fires, floods, storms, etc, which will make many areas unlivable for years, if they can even be rebuilt. Which of course will take a lot of lumber and building supplies and construction workers. It's getting more frequent. Disasters Forced 2.5 Million Americans From Their Homes Last Year

Don’t just not watch the Inauguration. Send a powerful message. Tune your tv to Nickelodeon all day Monday. Make him lose in the ratings to CARTOONS

Attend MLK celebrations.
Leave your TV on!
Get Trump where it really hurts…his ego.
