I find it odd when someone says Trump is this or Trump is that as if he's consistent on anything. His absurd narcissism is the only consistent thing about him. You can bet your ass he would drag us into a war if it would stroke his ego in some way.

That is what makes him so uniquely dangerous. He has no ideology to speak of. His focus shifts back and forth so often that trying to predict exactly what he's going to do is impossible. You can say with certainty that he won't be motivated by any sort of desire for the public good but that's about as specific as you can get until he starts doing something.

Biden's mandate was to protect Democracy, not increase infrastructure spending. Yes that's a good addition to protecting democracy but the things you're referring to were the expendable part of the job at hand. We got the sides at the expense of the main course. And what reason was that for again? Oh yeah, they didn't want to seem like they were litigating political issues. Do you think that bought them some reciprocation from the incoming administration? Read the quotes from this potential AG again if you've already forgotten the context in which we're having this discussion.

Playing nice with fascists does not fucking work and yet that's all we've done since they tried to overthrow the government. Now our inaction means they don't even need to overthrow the government. They can just walk in the front door.

It turns out that trying to fix a problem is more memorable than causing said problem. Interesting, but not terribly surprising given the long running joke that American voters have very short attention spans

It sure is a good thing we slow played those criminal proceedings huh. Thanks Mr. Garland and Mr. Biden.

Yes they did all those things but at the end of the day the voters believed the lies because they wanted to. We (collectively) allowed the lies to replace the truth. That can't be blamed on anyone else.

But not the 73 million people that wanted this explicitly?

The DNC sucks but they're not the ones voting for Trump. This is what America wants. Stop deflecting and deal with the reality that this is who we are.

Or maybe Americans are largely shitty people. Stop trying to excuse the behavior and accept it for what it is
