People were warning that Trump is going to tank the economy - it was in a positive state in 2016 from Obama and he deficit spend like crazy while also lowering taxes, which contributed to recession under Biden in a large way, but of course Covid is to blame.
Now, without Covid, its pretty clear that he basically tanked the economy for no good reason.
People were warning that Trump is going to weaponize the government to go against people opposing him.
He is doing that now.
People were warning that Trump is going to ignore the law and the legal process.
He is certainly doing that now.
People were warning that Trump is going to implement policies based in racism.
He is certainly doing that now.
And we aren't even half a year into his term.
But sure, pick the few points that didn't happen as justification.
I really do wonder what it feels like to live with ideological blinders on sometimes. Must be a nice feeling to live in reality thats probably happier than what actual reality is.
I mean, he and his cronies have even said they would do most of these things. One thing we have learned is that they mean what they say. If they say we would like to put US citizens in a prison in El Salvador or Tesla protestors are domestic terrorists they also mean it. The reason it hasn't happened yet is that they are slowly boiling the frog of ignoring court orders, etc.
You can't even say those predictions were wrong because we are still squarely on "gays in death camps" trajectory. People who predicted death camps in 2016 also predicted an insurrection, and they were right. People were calling that a crazy prediction up to 1/6/2021, and then it happened for all to see.

Which is exactly what Trump is ending with DEI ban.
Trump is actually the president that is making institutional racism illegal.
