Lost_All_Senses 02/01/22 5:05:31 PM #10:	I'll give him this. So far, it seems the only place he put any thought in is distancing himself just enough to not take any life ruining hits. He knows how to control a base while holding just enough deniability to throw them under the bus when he needs to save himself. There's something to that strategically. Especially when he gets those people he'll throw under the bus to still treat him like their savior. --- Name checks out "I don't wanna be the toughest, I just keep it 100 and think nothin of it"- Black Thought <cite>Lost_All_Senses posted [p:962279550] in How did Do...

He won't follow through, but again his base isn't smart enough to realize that. Exactly. He'll go back on it because he set up an abusive relationship with Republicans where he doesn't actually have to do the things he promises them. He just has to sell them on the idea of him doing something and then when the time comes find someone else to blame for it not happening. Usually the person being abused at least gets some decent sex out of it --- Name checks out "I don't wanna be the toughest, I just keep it 100 and think nothin of it"- Black Thought <cite>Lost_All_Senses posted [p:962280371] in How did Do...

kelemvor 02/04/22 12:08:31 AM #19:	I don't think he had any clue it would get that far. Normally a "real" coup attempt involves the military or at least an armed populace that has a chance to overthrow the government, not some rioters who vandalize the Capitol grounds. Didn't they already have strong evidence that the "Proud Boys" planned the whole thing? https://www.npr.org/2021/03/02/972895521/prosecutors-proud-boys-gave-leader-war-powers-planned-ahead-for-capitol-riot I sincerely doubt Trump was organizing with the Proud Boys, but who knows? That's why he's thankfully being investigated. <cite>kelemvor posted [p:962350589] in How did Do... [t:79879928]...</cite> <quote>I don't think he had any clue it would get that far.
