Except you know, that one thing
Or that other thing

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.
Yeah I edited comment for clarity…not sure if I just poorly worded it, if I stuck a nerve (seems unlikely?), or if sarcasm just doesn’t go over a series of tubes very gracefully 🤷
Man, you chose a poor way to word the entire comment if thats what you’re suggesting. The entire thing made it sound like you’re saying it’s Bidens fault. I can’t read your comment and come to ANY other comclusion.
You should probably edit it, and reword the entire thing. Of coarse then I’LL look insane, but thats ok. Someone will just say “username is relevant”. And probably downvote me.
But I like to think of the people who downvote me as the kind of people who jerk off onto pancakes, cry onto them for hours, and then eats cold soggy pancakes.
Huffing bags of spraypaint is a hell of a drug.

For people on grad it’s a feature
It literally is. When I used argue with them about Donald intentionally destabilizing the US so China could gain influence they would drop everything and write long-ass comments praising the idea.
I guess they love the economic system of “state capitalism with generating hundreds of billionaire characteristics.” They’ll certainly excuse any amount of Uyghur genocide for it.
They decided to separate the children with full knowledge that they did not have the resources to track them. They straight up lost children. How many of those missing children were trafficked?
The absolute nerve that the Qanons were ever screeching about pedophile rings. Their guy is the pedophile ring.
…kids taken from parents and put up for adoption
Literal kidnapping and trafficking of children.
Ivermectin
Seeing my old college professor suggest that shit was wild. I remember telling the school his ass needed a sabbatical. They later ended up paying him a large settlement after students chased him off campus with baseball bats.
With all the bullshit trump did it’s hard to keep up with it all. I must have missed this one. What was Ivermectin?
Ivermectin is an anti-parasite drug used in treating heartworm. It was one of the early conspiracy cures for covid, despite the fact viruses are notoriously different from parasitic roundworm. There was also a constrained supply of the drug used for human treatments, so the qanon types were buying the version of the treatment meant or horses.
They’d rather go through all that, rather than just wear a mask and get vaccinated???
Vaccines will make your testicles grow spikes and drop off, like chestnuts. Haven’t you heard? Apple-flavored horse paste is not only good for you, it also tastes just swell!
A horse dewormer people were taking for killing covid infections.
I feel like Thomas is the most corrupt, but the others aren’t much better.
Thomas is brazenly and nakedly corrupt. Alito is more of a seditious traitor. Barrett is a theocrat. Boofer owed tens of thousands that someone paid off.
The police response to the BLM protests
Yeah everything looks bad when you notice it
Tbf one of those things was a bipartisan effort.

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.
Nothing particularly bad happened, to them
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.)
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.”
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

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.
Sometimes I think my memory is bad and getting worse, but hey at least I can remember an attempted coup 3.5 years ago
Yeah, I can’t remember anything bad that happened in 2020.
“No we are definitely real communists not right wing trolls”
They aren’t even trying to hide it anymore.
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 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.
“Oh, cool! I’m gonna vote for Kamala Harris then; if we’re already fascist then she can’t do any harm, and I might get some of my student loans forgiven that way.”
NO NO NO NOT LIKE THAT
“Don’t you understand? You’d be voting for a fascist! And that makes YOU a fascist! You gotta vote third party bro, trust me bro, protest votes totally work bro, and Harris is gonna win anyway I guarantee it, just ignore the victory margins in 2016 and 2020”
Or better yet: “We should let Trump win to stick it to the DNC for not picking someone far enough left. Just ignore the fact that if Trump wins they’ll probably pick someone further right next election season anyway. Also I’m sure all those trans people whose lives are now in danger from Project 2025 sleep safer knowing that the blood of those Palestinians that Israel is still killing because Trump is still funneling them weapons isn’t on my hands, because I didn’t vote for genocide. I’m a great ally.”
“Plus Trump is finally gonna stick it to those fuckin Ukrainians”
Wait are they actually saying that
I haven’t seen it for a while; it was mostly a kind of joke on my part as applied to the propaganda people in the present day. But yeah it used to be super common as of a few months ago to see overlap between “Biden’s no good for Americans I’m not voting and you shouldn’t either” and “NATO needs to stop meddling in Ukraine and blocking peace, this whole war is the West’s fault” on the same account.
Fun thing if you see someone advocating for voting for a third party: Ask them who. If they say Jill Stein or Cornel West, ask whether they agree with those candidates’ opinions about NATO. My bet is that you won’t get an answer.
How is this not downvoted into oblivion - I know it’s a link to that instance, but still.
