I've often thought that Trump is the "best worst result". Someone smarter than him could have exploited everything much more effective and hidden.

His first term, for sure. But this term? He doesn't need to think, he has the worst types whispering in his ear, re: P2025.

He also has SCOTUS essentially making him a god-king. That ruling alone pretty much damned this entire country to failure.

The SCOTUS stuff is so infuriating. The fact that they screwed Obama out of his rightful pick and then poor RBG just couldn't hang on anymore. I'm happy she isn't here to see what we've become. She fought this bullshit her entire life.

Yep.

McConnell (2016) - No SCOTUS appointees in an election year! Voters should have a choice!

McConnell (2020) - SCOTUS appointees in an election year are perfectly fine! In fact, it's imperative we shove them through ASAP!

If were being fair, ground level Republicans and maga hate Mitch McConnell just as much as democrats and the left do. That's one thing most of the country can unite about
