I think a lot of it was just because he dared to run against their chosen one, Hillary. Or because he chose to run as a repub. I guess if there was no Hillary and he ran as a dem, it probably would have been fine. I think the funniest thing Trump did was release that book of letters with all the people who talk shit about him, with their letters praising him in the past. Just makes them look like bigger clowns.

I can answer this. The reason it bit their ass so hard wasn't just that he won.
It's that this was effectively a loss Hillary herself fucking caused, after doing everything to stack the deck otherwise.
She had been nominated by default before a single vote was cast. She was unilaterally in charge of the DNC. She was able to force any upstart Dem to kiss the ring.
She had full support of the shittier elements of the right's media apparatus (like Ann Coulter).

She did everything possible so Trump would win in the primaries against other Repubs, believing wholeheartedly that he'd be the easiest candidate to beat in the generals. She created a strawman - only for that strawman to come to life and cap her on national television. Even with massive fortification in 2016 (something we don't hear often about, because she lost, and by by the biggest number since Reagan), she went down in fucking flames. Which is also why none of the lawsuits her side proposed to force recounts ever fucking went forward despite having an entire crew readied for it - it would have dredged up the fucking fraud on her own side and utterly obliterated what little was left of her fucking legacy.

That is the reason they hate him so much - not merely that he took away "her time," but that in her fucking arrogance, she made his win directly happen, and they will never forgive that.

Nietzsche, if understood, would drive people to be lawyers, doctors, etc, not just go edgelord.

If you become a doctor, and not an edgelord when you read Nietzsche. Then Nietzsche didn't read Nietzsche. Ultimately what Nietzsche doesn't understand is the power of numbers. The reason "The Will to Power" is retarded is because human beings operate as in groups. You win more people to your side, even if they're slaves, if you tell people to treat others well. Eventually you'll have the numbers to control the "power establishment". That is why Christianity prevailed, and paganism failed. At Least from a materialist analysis.Fr Seraphim Rose had a great breakdown of Nietzsche and Nihilism.

Just had some union guy come to my door to tell me to sign something over Trump allegedly attacking the working class. Never got this once during the Biden presidency, and it’s telling they only have the energy to “fight” the establishment when a Republican is in office. I don’t hate unions as a concept, but so many have become corrupted over the years, to a point where it’s only the union leaders that benefit the most rather than the workers themselves.

Did he say what union? I'm gonna guess some gay shit like AFLCIO. Union guys have been showing up at my work asking if anyone wants to quit their job and join. Tempting but there are some retarded things they require but I get why they require them (mainly longer waits for licensure).

I really hope Trump does some work with the unions. They can be great but all the wrong ones have massive power and frankly alot of them should not even exist at all. For example there is an Italian American Actors Union. Fucking why? If your job doesn't involve immediate threat of life and limb there really shouldn't be a union. I worked a job at union rates for about 3 weeks and it really fuckin ruled and everything got done pretty efficiently compared to a normal job. More pipefitters and welding unions and less SAGAFTRA faggotry.
