    The US system produces people like Trump, Obama, Bush, etc to carry out its aims, which are inimical to human life. His own ideology is visibly malleable it’s ridiculous to say Biden or Trump were the driving force behind anything, yet it’s their stump speech vs each other to frame it that way

    Don’t you dare reward this shit stain with the idea his buffoonery is some biblically significant thing

    He’ll be barely remembered as a grave mistake that severely kneecapped the US and killed millions in the process

      Ask folks what they remember about presidents Buchanan, Pierce and Johnson and you’ll get an idea of how Trump will be remembered

    Possible…

    hadn’t considered that…

    but then-again, human history does tend to repeat the same “events”, just in variations…

    Roman Empire & US Empire both being the great monster with steel teeth, & deteriorating substance going down, until clay feet…

    Trump as a replay of that … similar but I think the fundamental current is different-enough that Trump’ll be remembered, if humankind survives this-century, rather more strongly…
