. . . to smash the china shop to pieces.

Few, I bet, honestly believed this con man/clown could deliver on promises like this.

What Trump COULD do is play havoc with the system.

This is important to note because voters lie about their reasons for pulling the lever for Mango Mussolini.
And if we (the left, collectively) are waiitng for these MAGA-ats to suddenly acknowledge they were conned, well . . . it's not a con if these voters lied about the reason they re-elected this maniac in the first place, is it?

This is ID-driven nihilism in action, and I doubt most rank-and-file Trumpists could even articulate this motivation/sentiment (assuming they are fully conscious of their own motivations here.)
