Except you know, that one thing
Or that other thing
Kids in cages, kids taken from parents and put up for adoption
Outing of all undercover ops in Russia (who were then jailed or murdered)
Installing the most corrupt supreme court justice since the 19th century
Attempted violent overthrow of the government
Ivermectin, “inject a little bleach…”
And that’s just off the top of my head without coffee
You need some covfefe, because you forgot the most important one:
- attempted dismantlement of the post-ww2 world order at the explicit cost of America and her western allies (broadly construed to include Japan, Australia, Korea, NZ, etc.), for the explicit benefit of Russian hegemony under Putin, with the knock-on effect of empowering most significantly our greatest geopolitical rival, China, which hopes to promulgate its fascist hellscape throughout Asia.
And how about packing the courts with right wing nutjobs? Roe vs Wade’s demise is far from the only consequence there
That happened under Biden. Sure, it’s a direct consequence of Trump’s presidency…but this sort of causal reasoning may well be too advanced for the folks parroting this inane content to comprehend.Edit: what I was trying to say (apparently unsuccessfully…) was that the kind of person who thinks nothing bad happened under Trump probably won’t acknowledge that Roe vs. Wade being overturned was a direct consequence of Trump. Which is stupid — in addition to the “acute” damage that Trump did, the ongoing damage being done from his judicial appointments is arguably the most damage that he has (and will continue to) do.
How high are you?
I’m saying that the folks saying “nothing bad happened under Trump” may be a few fries short of a happy meal.
I have seen dimwits literally try to claim Dems are responsible for Dobbs because of timing. Perhaps they are the reason why people are reacting strongly to what you wrote.
I see them blaming the Democrats for what they did. Overturn Roe vs Wade? Dems fault for the letting them do it. The mental gymnastics they do along with having the goal posts mounted to a Bugatti is amazing.
Nothing particularly bad happened, to them
What, you don’t remember Marx dropping that line in one of his letters to Engels?
I think he titled it, “Fuck You, Got Mine.”
It’s telling that the big thing the guy cared about in terms of each candidate’s impact was the NordStream pipeline sabotage.
(Not that I think Biden was behind the pipeline exploding necessarily, just that it’s an odd thing to pick out as a big impact of Biden’s term in office.)
Trump is a lot like Reagan in that a lot of his policy choices are time bombs. In forty years, someone’s going to be wondering “Jesus, why is this shit so dysfunctional? Oh, it’s
ReaganTrump. Of course it’sReaganTrump, it’s alwaysReaganTrump.”Some of it will not even take that long. Like the tax breaks trump gave out that expired during Biden’s term. I see that cited a lot about why Biden bad.
Only tax breaks for regular people expired, the corporate handouts were good indefinitely.
Sometimes I think my memory is bad and getting worse, but hey at least I can remember an attempted coup 3.5 years ago
I wouldn’t call Project 2025 “more standard American bullshit”. It’s a plan for how to turn America into a fully fascist country within one presidential term.
The US is already a fully fascist country.
Ahh, leftism-doomerism. No one quite so right wing.
Yeah, I can’t remember anything bad that happened in 2020.
Damage isn’t obvious. A lot of it is:
-
Declining/damaged trust from allies and such.
-
Financial decisions that don’t cause massive disruption but start to move things in the opposite direction from progress and toward greater wealth inequality.
-
General degradation of norms and values that our countries and allies rely on
-
Don’t get me started on national security issues with how easy it was to get in Trumps ear by sitting at mar a Lago, spending a bunch of $ at his properties, meetings where translator notes were destroyed, stolen documents…
-
all the intelligence assets/ways&means burned because of the document handling and other stuff
All of this together makes it a lot easier for enemies to manipulate the populace and eventually cause some large scale disruption which would be probably under the opposing party (democrats) to continue to encourage trumpism and the politics that got us there.
Lastly, if you didn’t suffer from anything negative from Trumps presidency, you’re lucky or ignorant. Chances are it’s affecting you in ways you either don’t know/understand or don’t care about. Essentially all trump did for the white working man is give them a warm fuzzy feeling inside

But don’t you see, you literally cannot tell the difference. Muh both sides. The Repubs do a bunch of horrible shit, yes. But if you look at the Dems, well, the Repubs are also doing a lot of horrible shit while the Dems have control of no branches other than the executive. That’s the Dem’s fault. Therefore we must conclude that muh both sides.
I was once of those federal employees impacted by the government shutdown that lasted almost two months. I illegally collected unemployment just to make sure I had for to eat. All because of a stupid fucking border wall that never even got built. I paid the unemployment back and faced no repercussions but the fact that I had to break the law because of his stupid ego is insane. I have a kid now I don’t know what I’ll do.
