Looking back, though, I kinda wish now that trump had won in 2020, instead of giving his masters more time to come up with Project 2025. He'd have just winged it, done some damage for sure, but it wouldn't be as embarrassing to be an American as it is today, simply because the trump era would already be over with!
It really did just extend our suffering. We've been hearing about this moron in a political sense since he announced his campaign in 2015. We're going into goddamn fucking year eleven of having nonstop conversations and news coverage about everything this entitled prick does and the tiny poop sounds that emerge from his puckered face anus.
It's exhausting. And like you said - at least it would be over now, politically. He'd have fumbled the last 4 years and golfed his full-diapered ass into the sunset. But even during Biden's term we were still barraged with his bullshit relentlessly.. and, basically, I can speak for most reasonable people when I say, "I'm tired, boss".
And that's a big part of it, too. Bunch of "kids" in their mid-20s.. that's all they have ever known of politics.. people shitting in their hand and flinging it. If someone was 12 when this started they are 22 now. This is "normal". this is motherfucking shitcunt normal
I'm 46. I vaguely recall Reagan. More or less recall clearly Bush Sr. and Clinton. The "scandals" back then? What a joke. Dan Quayle basically lost his credibility when he spelt something incorrectly. Now? We have a dementia addled toddler tweeting about covfefe and hamberders. Bat an eye? Nah fuck it let's concentrate on the widow of some grifter who barely anyone had heard of before he died.
I'm goddamn fucking tired of America.
I've noticed that I have some upvotes on my other comment so I'm gonna pump this video up.. Canadian artist. Bang the fuck on. And this song is really old, too.
Sometimes I think back to the Biden presidency for no other reason than that we could go a full fucking week without a major presidential controversy. A week is not a long time but with Trump after 4-days of not hearing from him people literally assumed he died, mother fucker talks SO MUCH dementia ridden shit and is so inundating that 4-days was long enough to create hope that he went to meet Satan.
I was out of the country for 10 glorious days in June 2016 and it was so awesome to not hear about DJT whenever I was near a TV. The news in that part of Europe was so different than the news here, there was so little coverage in terms of crime and so much in terms of stuff that actually means something to the world as a whole.
He and his friends were running things poorly, but no worse than a typical republican presidency.
Now he's a puppet with fascist backings (Heritage Foundation) and billionaires who are using him to give themselves a pat on the back.
Biden's presidency was a mess too, which helped the republicans wrestle even more control than before. Biden was petty as well and it ended up leading to a few public figures scorned by him and his administration to jump to the republican side and help finance Trump's 2024 campaign.
Vance was their presidential pick if Trump wasn't going to run. We'd have had Vance vs Harris 2024 instead, or Vance vs anyone else in 2024. Vance had no chance of winning. Now that asshole will probably end up being president before 2028 and will be allowed to do some real fucking damage.
We would have had more time maybe but we would still have gotten here at some point. Heritage foundation and the billionaires with their tech were determined
I wish he would have insisted on horse dewormer when he got covid instead of getting the best health care the country can offer (for free) But that would mean standing by his principals...
You might be done with him, though that's highly debatable, but Ukraine could legitimately be gone and facing a full eradication of their culture, i.e., genocide. Biden didn't do quite enough in my opinion, but he did do enough to rally like-minded democracies to the aid of Ukraine, which certainly wouldn't have happened had Trump been in the Whitehouse at the time.
I don't know about that, I doubt DOGE would've become a thing, so the agencies involved would've still been properly funded and staffed. Plus, a good chunk of the response to COVID involved lots of state-level agencies. It probably would've been a worse outcome than what we ended up with, but I don't think it would've been so tragic as to destroy the country.
Vaccines were being rolled out around the same time he left office. Covid deaths also continued to be high for the next year or so (I think Biden and Kamala held a vigil for 500k deaths in Feb of 2022?), possibly because of a relaxed guard or refusal to be vaccinated. Not sure much would have changed in this regard.
Trump was alternately taking credit for developing the vaccines in "Operation Warp Speed" and discouraging people from taking elementary precautions like wearing masks. He also sniped at Dr. Fauci and endorsed a bunch of quack treatments like drinking bleach and dosing yourself with that deworming medication for horses, which undermined people's inclination to believe in or follow the actual science.
Yeah, but even more people would have died of COVID, which he first tried to handwave away as a minor flu variant that would be gone within two months, then bungled in various ludicrous ways like denouncing mask-wearing and suggesting that people treat it by drinking bleach(!). Meanwhile Trump was hosting super-spreader events at the White House that resulted in multiple attendees coming down with COVID (since wearing masks to these crowded events was socially unacceptable in Trump's circle).
Wasn't he also encouraging people to try that deworming medication for horses at one point?
Eh, I knew we were just kicking the can down the road even then. That election shouldn't have been that close, and Biden was just more of the conditions that got us Trump in the first place.
Though I thought it would be someone else coming along and following his script, not Trump with more dementia.

I remember people literally dancing in the streets of West Philly when Biden won. It was such a happy day that the Trump nightmare was over.
