Let's see what happens in 4 years when trump runs again if he loses (because of course he will).

I doubt it but what if Trump actually gets disqualified from running? We'd have the unique opportunity of having no major opposition. Would be a prime time to pressure all the shill democrats to actually care about something, which includes Biden giving morbillions to Israel.

Why would the democrats care about the electorate if they'd win anyway in your scenario?

Maybe it's my demand avoidance. But that just makes me want to say fuck you all, good luck.

Sometimes you gotta go one step back to go two steps forward. If we fail to move forward afterwards, maybe we deserve what we get.

It hurts because it's true.

Are you asking me to be happy about voting for him or to just vote for him? I'll vote for him regardless of the R option, especially if it's Trump, but I'm sick of people acting like I'm endorsing Trump or endorsing abstaining if I say anything critical of Biden.

Downvote me if you, but I still don’t understand what was so terrible about Trump. No new wars, cheap gas, cheap groceries, good economy, literally the worst thing I can recall from those years was reading in the news every day trying to explain why Trump was literally the worst thing that had ever happened to America.

Until 2020 happened, that is; but even if he admittedly didn’t do a great job at handling COVID or the George Floyd protests, I’m not sure Hillary would have done any better, or could have avoided them entirely.

Now everything is expensive as hell, everyone is depressed and angry all the time, but at least the news are mostly saying Biden is doing a great job, things are fine and everything is under control. It’s as if cognitive dissonance has become the new normal.

If you don't mind lots of new corruption in the federal government, maybe Trump seemed ok. But here you go:

I’m not sure Hillary would have done any better

I think if Hilary was President, we'd have had a serious conversation about policing reform.

Now everything is expensive as hell

This is mainly due to the Fed under Trump printing a shit ton of new money. Remember all the "money printer go brr" memes? And remember how everyone said it would cause huge inflation? Yeah it just took a minute to kick in.

Yet another disingenuous, "just asking questions," huh? "Oh no the news is out to get him when he did nothing wrong!"

Everything is as expensive as hell because Donald and the GQP have given out trillions in handouts to the wealthy, given out three years of tax cuts to the wealthy, blocked all attempts at fair wages, blocked all attempts at affordable healthcare, blocked all attempts at taxing corporations. Somehow we have both high price inflation and record profits for every corporation. That's not adding up. It's only Biden's fault if you're deliberately ignoring reality.

Of course we should also consider Donald is a lifelong crook and a rapist who is corrupt as fuck. Biden won't sell state secrets to Russia and the Saudis like Donald did.
