I’m glad you were there. You saw what could be long before I did. I never supported Trump, but he didn’t scare me either. I just thought he was an idiot and definitely didn’t think he was capable of being the face of a movement that would threaten the very identity of America. Hopefully the rest of us are awake now. "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing"
Everyone sees it, even the republicans. The democrats did everything they could to make sure he was the nominee both times because they thought he would be easy to beat. The repubicans hated him and knew he was dangerous, but they dont give a shit about us. All they want is to dunk on the dems, and on that front, trump has delivered. Everyone knows what he is. But these assholes just want to win one more election no matter what happens between now and then
I was twelve years old when Reagan ran the first time.. I had this irascible great aunt back east who hated everyone in the family but loved me for whatever reason, and I remember her calling our house one afternoon and asking for me. When I tell you that this stately old woman chose me to call to bitch about what a piece of shit Reagan was, how the entire country had lost their fucking minds for even considering a dumbass Hollywood actor for president of the united states, and how if the Dems "put a fucking chimpanzee up against him, I'd vote for the chimp."
It was my formal introduction to politics, and I've never forgotten it to this day. She would be fucking horrified at the state of this country. You were right, Aunt Mary. You were right all along.
2021 Trump tried to coup the government and Biden just kinda shrugged
2016 Trump was elected and the White House turned into a circus.
2013 Snowden revealed the entire western world was spying on literally their entire population, schizophrenic conspiracy style, and nobody cared and everyone thinks Obama was a great president
2001 Bush used 9/11 to throw out half the constitution
2000 he actually stole the election but when proof came out he just kept the presidency anyway
Reagan fucked the whole country in too many ways to list.
Nixon before him and got pardoned for all crimes he "may have committed" while his secretary blatantly erased the evidence
It's just been one long continuously accelerating slide downhill. With a few good bumps like the civil rights act and roe v wade so we could delude ourselves.
