The amount of harm caused by the shitbag in the whitehouse will go on for generations. We’re so fucked.
I am still baffled some days that people saw that fat sack of orange shit and thought, yeah, that rich racist dude whos bankrupt half his company's... lets make that guy our cult leader.
I still think The Apprentice had a hand in giving him the presidency. That show made people think he was actually a savvy businessman, when he's the furthest thing from it.
Mhm. I'd argue that had he actually been a savvy businessman he never would've had a show like that.

Oh, 100%. There is a good chance that even after all the self-promotion that Tacostein did all during the 80s and 90s that many Americans had no clue who he was. That show he was given changed that, and gave many Americans the entirely wrong impression of this failson.
Of course, the "liberal media" did almost nothing to disabuse Americans of that impression of Tacostein as a Bigly Important Bidness Man.
Good, this guy deserves to be in prison
Not "a failed political candidate" but a Republican terrorist who failed to get elected. The media will do anything to keep the R-word out of the headline, and to keep it and the T-word apart.
Not a Republican terrorist, he was a MAGA terrorist, there's a difference.
The Republican Party is dead. Its core tenets were smaller government, lower taxes, economic responsibility, individual liberty, family values, etc.. The MAGA Party espouses none of that. MAGAs openly support treason, racism, corruption, pedophilia, rape, hate, authoritarianism, Fascism, misogyny, ignorance, and much more, but none of it represents the foundation of Republicanism.
Therefore, the Republican party must be declared to be as dead as the Whigs, only to be referred to in an historical context.
That way, when this is over, and we are dealing with the aftermath of their treason, we can declare the MAGA Party to be an official Terrorist/ Hate group, and prohibit them from existing.
Pardon incoming...
No he's not white.
He probably thinks he is one of the "good ones". Much like that dipstick running Proud Boys.
Weird. Another Republican.
That's so fucking WEIRD.
