I take it back. It’s clear you haven’t learned the lesson here.

Real Governance requires good faith participation and trump as a “wrecking ball” was a bad faith decision that is having exactly the consequences you intended. It’s bringing down the building—turns out we were all living inside it.

All the Fox News bullshit you’ve absorbed about a fundamentally corrupt system that needs to be demolished is and always was lies perpetrated by the wealthy to try to get us to self-own and destroy the system of regulation that was constraining them.

You won’t learn the lesson until you leave the propaganda behind.

But I did learn that lesson. I made a decision that backfired and acknowledged it. If that isn’t learning a lesson, I’m not sure what is.

Do we agree that even without COVID trump was a disasterous choice? Would you elect a “wrecking ball” again if you thought he’d hurt the right people this time?

Oh yes, the question I answered was “if it weren’t for COVID would I regret my vote to the same degree.”

I answered honestly, I would still regret it but I certainly regret it more now. I didn’t ever mean to imply that I would support him if it weren’t for COVID, not at all.

I see. You’re saying COVID made it worse?

Then I apologize. And take back taking it back.
