      Remember how the Trump campaign ran ads showing what was happening in America under Trump 1, saying this was what Americans could have to fear if BIDEN got elected?

        Yep. It’s like all of his supporters remembered the first term as some mass fucking hallucination. I had entire groups of my family removeding his entire term only to blame everything they were removeding about on Biden within the first year of his term, refusing to acknowledge the things his administration did fix, and then blaming implementations that Trump 1.0 did on Biden saying Trump 2.0 would fix them. I thought the 2017 tax law passage couldn’t be more obvious that it would cause issues due to dump, but all the gpo had to do was apply a time delay to it and suddenly all the “against” votes and dissent democrats did cast fell away to “Damn Biden raising my damn taxes. Feels like I can’t afford anything due to inflation!” And it’s like bro… We had a global pandemic that was so so much worse than it needed to be on our home front because Dump specifically cut the departments responsible for mitigating it before it occurred… Like how fucking stupid are people on average? Are we all just living with memory of only the past few months or what?

          That’s a really gross answer, especially since i was joking about the state murdering people on the left.

          Maybe think before saying shit like that. I guess i shouldn’t expect better if someone from .world, but I still feel disappointment for some reason
