We knew this during the campaign season before the election.
What's mind boggling is the many millions who didn't notice or in their fevered support think his behaviour is "normal".
Group insanity.

(18,402 posts)Those who chose to stay home and those who did come to the polls but voted for a impossible-to-win third party candidate. Because, you know, they kinda didn't like Hillary all that much.
They are just as much responsible. Just as much. Because we knew.

(32,086 posts)I was just on a hockey discussion board, where someone called out one of these loons for a misogynist/homophobic comment. (He referred to the LA Kings as the "Queens." Rather than apologizing, he went on a multi-post tirade, bashing "oversensitive" liberals and "liberalism", and eventually claiming that poor Trump supporters are being picked on. Never mind that nobody brought up Dear Leader or even knew that this nutjob is a Trump flying monkey. They are just as batshit-crazy as he is. They even have the "paranoid" part down.

Boisterous then victim.
That's a bully's game.
They flip flip to manipulate.

The problem they failed to account for was that "their" group was not the only one wanting to exploit the instability.
MULTIPLE groups with similar plans
meant MULTIPLE Agendas competing to be addressed...
Might have worked out for just one or two groups trying to exploit....
but too many exploiters in the inner circle causes so much turmoil that no particular group truly benefits.
