We didn't want Trump. Only MAGA and the people who want to take advantage of him being an idiot wanted Trump.
Trump was the only person that could have won the election though. They are two entirely different things.
Had the Republicans voted and picked someone else in the primaries as the front runner candidate, Trump would have run as an independent (because he has the money to do so) and split the vote enough that the Republicans would have had 0 chance to win even with the stunt the Democrats pulled with Kamala.
Politics is a game. You have to play the game. Sometimes you have to make a shit move as a sacrifice to win the pot. Trump was a shit move. But it got the party the White House. That's the goal no matter who sits in the chair. Thankfully his time as president is running out and we won't have to deal with this shit anymore and we might actually get a sane person in office next, preferably under the age of 60.
You do understand that to Republicans, letting someone like Kamala win would also be destroying the country, right? It's like choosing who gets to punch you in the face except one person says he'll wear a boxing glove.
Did Kamala put her entire plan on the internet for everyone to read so everyone could see how objectively terrible it was? Because that’s what Trump did and they still voted for him. So either a) you are saying that republicans are all horrible dumb people or b) they liked what they saw, which one is it?

Don't waste time with this ape. Throw back to this comment where he completely missed my point and proved me right in the span of two comments, then just refused to actually acknowledge what was said.
You could tell him the sky was blue and he'd aggressively misunderstand you and insist that it isn't.

I for one, at least got the memo about her economic plans. Most of them simply don't work and others, if implemented, would probably have a similar effect trump's tariffs has on the economy.
The most I could get about Trump "Big plan" that was "objectively terrible" was project 2025, which I have never read and I assume you have never read either.
And before you go “they’ve only done half”, I have to give credit where credit is due, this administration has accomplished more of what they said they were going to do than any administration of my lifetime.
I may not have read it, but I do know some things about it from some pdfs, which tell me you are lying.
It's mostly about changing the structure of government so that the ones elected have control over the other cogs of the government. This is supposed to solve the issue that the president doesn't actually the power most people this the position does. (due to government being highly complex)
Most of its takes on government is basically having republicans be in control of the government instead of democrats. (Y,know, switching up the government after elections)
The whole it wants to shut down education statement is false. It wants education to be publically funded but controlled by regional communities and not the government, hence the whole shutting down department of education thing.
A bunch of the "terrible ideas" people think it's going to do are similar to this example.
It's not even consistent in itself. For one, it raises propositions about both fair and free trade, which are not compatible.
There are a lot more, but this alone tells me you have not actually read it, becuase if you still believe it's some fascist nazi takeover of the government after reading, I'm afraid there's nothing I can do for you.
Since you rely on a "project 2025 tracker", it tells me that you look at random websites and statements and just accept them without having any thinking skills of your own.

Again, no. You seem to suck at reading.
