    “crushing it” might be a bit superlative but sure

      I mean in terms of what he’s actually achieved he probably the best president we’ve had in my lifetime, and considering his lack of control in the houses, that’s pretty big.

          What happened was an attempted coup, where a mob of people was only two barricaded doors away from murdering most of congress.

          I don’t think Trump thought he would win, so he was unprepared, and he had some of the most incompetent people possible around him. He and the people around him will be prepared this time. A plan has already been drafted (Project 2025) by, presumably, intelligent people at right-wing think-tanks. Also, his rhetoric has changed, becoming similar to other historical and current dictators, and his “policies” have become more fascist (e.g. rounding up 11 million people in the U.S. for detention and forcible relocation).

          Furthermore, while he was president, he did do some pretty dictator-like things. He had federal officers in unmarked vans abduct protestors with bags over their heads. He had the US Marshals assassinate Michael Reinoehl. He tried to get election results changed. And he tried a coup.

          I think his, and his future administration’s goal will be to establish a one-party-rule, similar to Russia’s, with a more christofascist flavor. His and his family’s personal goals will be to enrich themselves by selling-out the state, and the christofascist stuff just provides them with the coalition they need to do so.

            Do you understand how this is propaganda lines? They want you scared so you vote how they want. I would tell you how Biden is much much worse, but you have been indoctrinated.

                Lets take the one you guys dont understand how bad it is. The Saudis are not going to sell the oil in USD anymore after decades directly due to Biden admin.

                  I suspect most of your audience here isn’t going to be strongly swayed by missing out on oil. Got anything else?

                    Yeah exactly, you dont understand what the this means or the actual implications it. Its literally the beginning of the unraveling of the dollar. You guys need to actually listen to people that explain these things to you, not just give you more propaganda.

                  The fuck are you talking about dude. At this point I’m convinced you’re either a Russian troll or a tRump supporter.

          His failed plot to overturn the legitimate election by submitting a fake slate of electors? Yes, we remember.

                  …by submitting a fake slate of electors. I feel like this is not that complex of a concept to grasp, but I’ll simplify it for your FOX News-addled mush brain:

                  Imagine a scenario in which 10 people eating at a restaurant all want to decide what to have for dessert. After some discussion, they’ve narrowed the choices down to Key Lime Pie or Cheesecake. The kitchen will only make one dessert for the table, so the table has to pick one or the other, they can’t have both. Naturally, the table takes a vote to see which dessert a majority of people will be satisfied with. 6 people vote for Key Lime Pie, and 4 people vote for Cheesecake. Key Lime Pie wins. So the table sends one of their group to go and take the order to the kitchen, making it official. But along the way, one of the Cheesecake guys decides that they don’t give a shit if most of the people at the table wanted something different and they intercept the guy delivering the order. They tell that person that a few people at the table changed their minds and now Cheesecake actually won so they should tell the chef to make that instead. Of course, the people at the table did not change their minds, this was a lie meant to trick the person delivering the order into doing what they wanted rather than what the majority demanded.

                  Given that scenario, don’t you think it’s unfair that the people who voted for Key Lime Pie would have been deprived of the dessert that they actually wanted and most people agreed on had the person who submitted the fake order actually succeeded?

                  Same thing here. Trump was the government, so there was nothing to overthrow. He overturned the election to remain in power past his mandate. Hence why I’m wondering why you’re talking about needing fighter jets to overthrow a government because that’s not what we’re talking about, nor is violent revolution always a prerequisite for a coup d’état.

                    I am aware of the situation, and its the same things that democrats would do in the same situation. Both teams do a bunch of bullshit and fight in court over each election now. You assume that I am a trump vote, but I am not. I just know that your team sucks more than his team and does worse things, like try to throw the most likely presidential candidate in prison.

      Joe Biden is either the singularly greatest president to have ever lived and our only hope for the future or the worst president in history, a total disaster, possibly the entire reason everything bad has ever happened.

      I haven’t decided who I’m voting for yet, so I can’t tell which.
