I will never understand the "let it burn" people. It comes off as hoping for failure to secure an "I told you so", maybe I am interpreting it wrong I dunno.
I’m so stoked for it to all burn

No, you are not.
'Ball Babies" is what we called them, if I isn't their way they are going to take their ball and run home, usually while crying.
I don't take it as HOPING for failure. Whenever I see someone say it I take it as "This is what you people wanted, it won't end well but there's nothing I can do."
We all remember Trump's first term. It was controversy after controversy after controversy and the vast majority of them were brought on by himself and his people. So we know what we're getting this time around already. There's no "I hope he cleans up his act and acts presidential now that he's in office," because a lot of folks had those hopes during Round 1 and were of course let down. I was one of them.
He's not even in office yet and attempted to put a man being investigated for raping a teenage girl as the ****ing attorney general. Folks voted for a circus, so we're gonna get a circus. I don't think many people want a "failure" but we also remember how shitty he is.
For me, when I see the "let it burn" saying, that's the kind of stuff that comes to mind.
so the grand conspiracy is that conservatives are treated by law enforcement the same way lots of people get treated by law enforcement
a common theme in recent years
Pretty much this is where I’m at. We’ve seen this movie before. Apparently America has a short memory. I’ve had many conversations with people I would never have imagined being pro trump, yet here we are. Sometimes you have to destroy something in order to build it back better. This is what I foresee.

Like fire needed to restore a forest.
The part where we are in fire is going to suck though.
Hilariously, it will suck harder for the numpty poors that voted for the idiot more than us “liberal elites” so at least there will be some schadenfreude entertainment to be had. Popping my popcorn!
Damn you, now I should go back and try to figure out what you're even talking about. But let's be honest, it probably isn't worth the time.
I'm certain you're taking extreme liberties in defining what I believe though...
It’s hilarious how everything coming to light is what people warned of. Most HBOTrs don’t need to worry since we are white male billionaires. But all you dirt poor magas….
It was a very quick search actually. Here's two of them. Took me all of 1 minute to track em down. Notice how both tiktoks have been taken down because you're a gullible guy and believed nonsense.
Inflation is way down dipshit.
Illegal border crossings were nearly as bad under Trump.
Inflation was caused by Trump's steel tax which cost Ford $1b in profits.
You lack basic intellect.
And it's also cute you believe every conspiracy theory floated by the Radical Right!
Ok, so whatever the first one was I pretty clearly state that it's plausible, not to be believed.
If I remember correctly, the second one described what happens to a baby during an abortion in detail. That was in all likelihood true.
A Tiktok video taken down doesn't mean it's untrue, it may be because it's sensitive, or if a creator is banned their videos get taken down. Lots of political creators get banned.
Now, are personal attacks really all you have left? You can't actually debate anything I post. I post something that I know the liberals are going to not like, and you jump straight to personal attacks. You take the bait hook line and sinker, and you still end up on the wrong side of the issue almost every time.
Keep up the good work.
Funnily enough, to my DC eyes and ears, the tone and temperature seems to have gone down a bit and we're settling in to the 'usual' sorts of normal nomination/confirmation/policy disputes and dynamics that arise in the early days of new presidential administrations. Well, except on histrionic message boards of course.

Reminds me so much of George Costanza's flailing around and it's not a lie if you believe it.
They're still higher than at any point under trump and they were up way higher for most of this failure of an administration. You're outright lying on your 2nd point so I quit reading there.
Holy shit. Double down when proven to be gullible and then play victim. That's typical for you folks.
This board never disappoints. Hope you have a great weekend Wop, make sure your phone is charged up for this impending ice storm. If the power goes out, things will get pretty boring without tiktok!
The problem is if and when things go south, Trump won't be held responsible. Nothing is ever his fault, just ask his supporters.
Things went south in 2021. Mr buck stops with me biden has spent 4 years blaming his failures on others.

Uhh, no. There has never been a more misanthropic, morally bankrupt, crime-ridden, rapey calvacade of idiots EVER put forward for cabinet positions in the 200-plus year history of this Republic.
Saying it's "back to normal" is gaslighting of the highest degree.
No, it is simply at this point, the genie is out of the bottle and the only thing that get the naive, disinformed, and low informed is to watch first hand the impact to their lives unfolds. As the people who voted for this madness suffer the dildo of consequences, there will be a backlash that could snuff maga and the disinformation machine out.
Also, there is not much we can do with Congress full of boot lickers and the Supreme Court utterly corrupted. Best advice I ever got for life is just focus on what you can control. Whelp, we can control or do anything about it so let’s sit back and watch and laugh and cry.
Thanks to Trump's tariffs on steel. I am not lying you lack intellect. The facts don't match your opinion.
Why is my ham and gas so expensive? Dem policy. You're actually a moron.
You can’t possibly believe this this crap. If so, get help.
I mean, thread title says "Stoked" to see it burn. That strikes me different than apathy or passively watching? But, I also agree with the above underlined, its how I have always treated these national debates
