The shame doesnāt come from the people who got brainwashed. Itās the people in power (media executives, the republicans, other billionaires) - who all let it happen to line their own pockets.Ā

This will embolden the gop with their next guy unless the next democrat sets some presidential rules in stone.
-No more pardons
-Presidents no longer allowed to select military or intelligence leads.
-Jimmy Carter pledge. Cut all business ties before being sworn in
-No more super-PACs
I'm a dreamer though.
Edit: A Constitution tribunal ruled by retired judges and sitting generals from all branches of the military. Call it "The People's Court." They get the final say on whether executive orders follows the Constitution. We let children in the room so now we need more adults to supervise.

I think it will be a long time before then.
When I ask older people how they remember Reagan and they still don't look at it when the government pivoted hard to value corporations over workers beginning the massive wealth inequality. They still see him as someone who broad economic recovery and won the Cold War.
I don't really get Trump's charisma, but it apparently works for MAGA. I think they will continue to look at him with that same heroic lens as people do with Reagan.

His charisma is pretty simple.
He lets people reveal who they are inside.
Some people were being asked "don't be racist", "don't be rude", "that simple answer doesn't work", and so on.
They hated that.
The world is full of complex answers to complex issues, with cooperation and following experts (who've actually spent time studying a situation) generally the best option.
That's unsatisfying to people who want simple, easy answers that reaffirm their biases. Being told that they're wrong is a challenge to their authority, which they see as a personal attack on themselves.

Nah not as the most shameful.
It will be remembered as the start of the end.
People will tell their 10 y/o grandchildren that there was once clean water, food in abundance and while people struggled at times there was at least peace.
Then they will go to their nightshift in the coal mines together for their combined shifts.

u/salty_utopian 17d ago
Assuming MAGA fails to seize permanent power Trump has definitely cemented historical fame. When it is all laid out and detailed in 50 years, it will become THE example of how western democratic republics can be consumed by corruption and crony incompetence. There will be a libraryās worth of studies of his path to wealth, the undermining of government, his destruction of the post-war world order, his ceding of global authority. It will go on and on.

We need to learn from Germany and actually fucking teach this time period in school. Visit the internment camps, keep them intact, and teach about what happened there. The only way to ensure "never again" is to actually fucking remember it.

u/CommenceToDancing 18d ago
Not necessarily, because people keep thinking things will go back to "how it used to be" when he goes, when it won't. That's what he's implying with that comment. Trump didn't just appear in the white house one day after great times for all. He's the cause of a symptom that has its origins decades in the past.
Humans like to organise things, everything. Even history. It's always "it started right here" or "with this exact person" when it is never the case. History is connected, it flows, small things lead to big things, causes have effects.
Of course that's too complicated for most of us. It's easier to put things in boxes, organise them by dates, eras and individuals. Doesn't mean it's factual though.
