Scott Adam’s “It’s going to be embarrassing to be anti-trump six months after inauguration“ is funny, but thinking back I saw a fair amount of that type of stuff. People really seemed to think the infrastructure stuff was going to happen, not just on the right, there’s this cluster of anti-establishment centrists that weren’t terribly pro-trump as a person but really seemed to hope something would happen.
As one of those centrists, I should not have overestimated the competence of the Republican Party just because the Democratic Party is stupid. Ofc, I didn’t go proclaiming it to the hills because I always figured it might not happen. He still has a few years left to accomplish this, though.
