I don't know anything about Hondaracer other than knowing he's got a massive boner for Trudeau, but my friends who are like this all seem to fit in the same boat. Massive underachievers who can't understand why their peers have rocketed ahead of them in life, despite them feeling or maybe even being more intelligent than their peers.
These guys all feel they know something the rest of us don't and the more push back they get more sure they are. It just leads to an unhealthy contrarian view which is self-destructive for them and our society.
Trump is just a symptom of this, though he also seems to amplify it along with Musk, Fox news, etc.

It’s just funny to see people like you get their panties in a bunch hehe
Markets always rip after an election almost regardless of the party that wins. So of course I’m just being silly
However, the same can be applied to those articles saying all the top billionaires added X amount of wealth in a day. The same would have happened if Kamala had won, probably to a lesser degree than Trump however.
Btw, I take being called an “underachiever” a compliment because in my mind I’ve over achieved massively to live in a situation like HEHE says where I live without financial stress and I’m able to make friends and family happy. Hope you can say the same
