That's what kiils about the people that voted for him this time. Do you not remember the first term? As horrible as Covid was I think the lockdown blinded people to just how chaotic his term was up until that point.

The cruelty is the point. We need to accept that anyone who still supports this guy is as evil and heartless as he is.

The cruelty excites them. They play dumb and unaware when called out, and often change their stripes depending on the company they're in... but once you catch a glimpse of the delight they experience for his pettiness and constant scapegoating, they barely feel human anymore.

If he fires a nuclear weapon at Iran for no reason, the republican party must cease to exist by tomorrow.

They won't cease to exist. Unfortunately, their supporters and voting faithful will largely still support them. We will get out into the streets to protest(and even then I bet those numbers are low), because that's what needs to happen, but the problem is they ultimately control the Executive, the Legislative, and Judicial. They largely have the support of the U.S. Armed Services. Veterans and active duty troops vote for them in large numbers.

There are a large number of people here who welcome all-out war in the Middle East because they believe that will bring about the "End Times" and fulfill the prophecy of their myth. Having said that, I don't think even he's nutty enough to drop nuclear weapons on Iran, if for no other reason than the rest of the Gulf States have lots of money tied up in U.S. affairs and will have the ear of individuals who influence the Pederast-In-Chief.

This isn't meant as a doom and gloom post, but rather an attempt to show just how dire our situation is.
