The amount of people here commenting authoritatively about this is disheartening.
Trump’s economic policies were insane. I remember looking at his campaign platform and seeing tax cuts everywhere and with no way to pay for anything.
I remember him shuttering valuable tools like the pandemic response teams because he wanted to tear down the success of previous administrations.
I still remember him mocking our military, displaying state secrets on national tv, trade wars that destroyed American jobs, diplomatic decisions that ruined international relationships.
I remember immigrant children locked in cages.
I remember the rule of law being absolutely trampled in order to achieve nothing. Just norms and institutions being torn down.
Trump accomplished nothing and made literally every facet of our government, politics and economic life worse.
He performed a political pump and dump and the entire world is still picking up the pieces.
He is a fascist and categorically the worst president we’ve ever had and every person here saying, “well actually…” should be ashamed.
While I agree I’d be careful with “I remember immigrant children locked in cages.” If you don’t want all the “ObAmA StArTeD iT aNd BiDeN CoNtInUeD!” comments lol
Obama is gonna close Gitmo any day now like he promised.
And surely Joe “I’m a Zionist” Biden wouldn’t do worse things to brown children than lock them in cages.
And Biden taxed the rich and the economy is fine now. Not like the private sector owns all housing funded by unlimited free money loaning like in 2008 or anthing.
Its amazing to see the flack when you say something along the lines of both sides are the same. In the end they will do anything for money except what is right for the people
IMO a lot of the shit we are dealing with socio-politically is because Andrew Johnson appeased the southern traitors and allowed them to keep their wealth and power after the Civil War. I often wonder what we’d be like if the Confederacy were properly humbled and then reconstructed instead of what happened. Maybe the road from Tea Party to MAGA would have never been walked.
Germany was “properly humbled” after WW1 and the treaty of Versailles.
Pretty sure the consensus is that this was a significant stepping stone to some bad things happening in Europe.
Humiliation leads to resentment, resentment leads to revanchism, revanchism leads to jingoism.
Yeah, we wouldn’t want to completely humiliate them for the reasons you mentioned, but they still should have removed the established judges/officials among other things.

Both sides Schmoth sides everyone!

Both sides are pretty bad. They are not the same.
“Slow the testing down, please!”
he should have been immediately arrested and thrown in the fucking Hague with that statement.
He is a fascist and the worst president we could’ve possibly had that didn’t commit straight up genocide.*
Removing children from parents is genocide.
Thank you for saying that. I have been making that case for years and no one else has ever agreed with me.
Chris Hanson arrest them
Removed by mod
I call this recency bias. Trump was terrible, but not the worst.
So Andrew Jackson?
In your opinion, who is worse?

Fuck Woodrow Wilson.
At least Wilson was competent and qualified for the job.
Who’s worse?
