You're getting downvoted but your comment prompts a thought. Would trump 2020 be as dangerous as 2024 trump? The time spent planning and organizing on their part has led to an extremely quick response in destroying this country compared to what happened in his 1st term

I've been saying this and it's an unpopular opinion... it honestly would have been better if Trump had just won in 2020.

Yes, COVID would have continued to be a disaster but we wouldn't have the J6 experience, he would still have a few of the old guard people keeping him in check, and he wouldn't have Elon Musk on board with him.

Most importantly: he would be blamed for the post-COVID shit that was his fault, rather than Biden taking the heat for not fixing the disaster Trump left him. The selective amnesia that settled over half the population from 2021-2024 would not have happened.

And we would be fucking done with Trump by now. My god, imagine that. He flies away on Jan 20, 2025 and we never have to hear from him ever again. Wouldn't that be heaven?

If Democrats were the opposition party during the genocide you wouldn’t get online liberals justifying it and ridiculing anyone opposed to it. The Democrats would have probably won in 2024 too.

Yea thank allah we got trump in there now. He will find a place for the palestinians. Somewhere near Trump hotel. They will be the foundation of his Christian Empire in the middle east. Inshallah.

At least you’re honest about what you stand for.
