    Legacy?

    This is his and the parties legacy. They made this. it’s a direct result of how first the governed, and then campaigned.

      Exactly. His legacy is not doing what he promised, not being that bridge to the next generation. Only giving up his lust for being president when it was too late.

        Its beyond the scope of my comprehension, how you can call Trump a fascist one week, and then congratulate him winning the next.

          same with harris congratulating him. they just can’t get over that “we have to be better than them”.

            This has the right idea, but they still would be better even if they didn’t. Maybe even more better.

              Yeah, they could conduct a peaceful transfer of power without the congratulations. They would be ruthlessly mocked for being sore losers, but they would be internally consistent at least.

              It’s not the right idea. Decorum is just another token of the privileged to distinguish those that make the decisions from those that feel the consequences. Why get incensed at the dismantling of people’s freedoms when you can afford to insulate yourself from any hardship?

          Is it? He single handedly tanked the opportunity to find a strong Democrat candidate through a primary. After being forced out he repeatedly made comments that saddled Harris with his baggage.

          He’s not 100% to blame, but no one is. He is probably about 30-40% of the problem though.

            I think the voters who voted for Trump are probably at least 90% to blame for Trump being elected by voters into office?

              Sure, but Biden/Harris hemmorrhaged about 15,000,000 voters between 2020 and 2024 due to lacking messaging that appealed to the electorate. Turns out that “this guy is a fascist but also we want to do bipartisanship with his party” doesn’t really appeal to people.

          If you don’t see the direct connection between how Biden has governed and how that set up Trump to win, I don’t know that you can be helped.
