> all he wants is attention, he does not have an ideology

This is not demonstrably true. He's had a consistent ideology since the beginning- MAGA and now MAHA too.

I used to think Trump was shallow, for maybe a few months in 2015. The problem with that is if you think Trump is shallow, it means all the people who voted for him and love him are stupid. In fact, you implied you think this:

> This is just basic 2nd order reasoning that it seems like so many people in this country lack.

Your operating philosophy cannot be that everyone who disagrees with you is stupid.

Your point about supplicants can be equally applied to Kamala.

> Your operating philosophy cannot be that everyone who disagrees with you is stupid.

I don't think people are stupid. I think they don't think things through.

MAGA is not a coherent political policy. Project 2025 is at least soundly documented and is probably the set of policies we'll see out of this admin.

I googled MAHA and it doesn't seem like a thing beyond a boilerplate website and twitter account nobody follows and some videos from RFK. Again, not a policy, just a platitude like MAGA and an unserious one at that.

"Those people don't think things through" then parroting the objectively false Project 2025 nonsense.

OK then, think this through - Trump has said the parts of P25 he's read are stupid, he doesn't support it, and it's from a group of people who don't work for him (some of them used to but none did when it was published). It's bog standard DC think tank pablum that nobody cares about.

If you voted for him, possibly still not stupid. Love him? Definitely stupid.

Ah yes, the district attorney with a long political career is exactly same as the reality TV star.

IMO Ex-president is a better credential than having a long political career, which often means, connected, corrupted and conformist.
