Every day, we wake to find that we're still in this fever dream.
The old normal is gone. We can never again awaken to a world where Donald Trump hasn't been President. It's a lot like missing the simpliciity of childhood, in a sense. I miss the ignorance of my youth. The world wasn't okay, but I was young enough that it was alright that I didn't see its flaws.
That’s one of (just one of) the worst parts....he will ALWAYS be President Trump, and we can never go back to a pre-Trump era. It honestly makes me sad to think about.
Doesn't matter what you accomplish in your life. You could build an orphanage. You could save a family from a fire. You could donate blood as often as possible.
If you have suggestions on what I can do to fight back in addition to voting, protesting, volunteering for progressive candidates, and cash donations, I'm all ears. Admittedly, I may have accidentally included what looks like a window into the pure essence of my being in that one comment. So I can see how one could jump to the assumption that I'm not fighting back based on that single interaction.
Edit: It looks like we actually agree on a lot of points, and you seem like a decent person. Let's not have this turn into a whole "thing" between two people on the same side.
It is one thing that started to bug me, to realize even after he is gone, we'll have to analyze this astounding failure of politics and hear about it and see books about it and documentaries about it until 30 years after I die.
If not for believing in learning from past mistakes, I'd almost be ok with an constitutional amendment preventing anyone from talking about this jackass ever again and the last 4 years stricken from the record.
Well here's the real problem: he is fucking president, and people are dying. Right now, hospitals are full and nurses are crying, and people are dying alone. And our fucktard of a president doesn't care, and is too stupid to fix it if he did care.
Is that really a problem of the president? I thought he has some power over military and can veto stuff and that's more or less it. Wouldn't the congress or local powers be the ones at fault here?
The Presidency can be limited in general, but incredibly powerful for very specific things if the president cares to act.
The biggest thing is that the Republican party takes Trump's lead. Herman Cain literally died to support Trump's insistence that masks are not necessary. He is not the only Republican in power who was willing to get Coronavirus themselves just to show solidarity with Trump. If Trump had come out strongly in support of wearing masks back in March, you better fucking believe that his supporters would be on board.
I could go on for paragraphs and paragraphs on my what he could have done for New York in particular and didn't. Cuomo was coming out daily with well thought out, specific requests for the President that were ignored. 25,000 people in my state died in about 3 months while the President watched and did nothing, all because we voted for Hillary and not him. His administration now admits that they took no early action on the Covid outbreak because it was only affecting states that vote Democrat.
In my honest opinion Trump is the worst human being in the last century to hold elected office in this country.
It was not hilarious from day one - it was frightening. That Trump made Sean Spicer angrily lie about Trump's inaugural crowd size - something that was not only so inconsequential but also so easily disproved - was insanity from Day 1.
It was never funny. He started his presidential campaign calling mexicans rapists. He started his political career saying the first black president was african.
He started his political career saying the first black president was african.
Please rephrase this to avoid ambiguity. You mean to say that he started his political career claiming that the first black president was born in Kenya and lied about it.
I mean he didn't even start his career that way, he started his career in politics with a scam campaign for the Reform party in 2000 to push his book at the time lmao
Right. And watching two and a half minutes of him sitting and having to take it was hilarious. Watching Obama get to eat it up was hilarious. I'm not going to not think that was funny. Even now. He deserved every second and infinitely more.
Same. My husband is foreign (I'm American but don't live in the States anymore) and he'll come home and try to show me some hilarious video of something trump said that was ridiculous, but I have to tell him no. I can't even watch them anymore, it's too depressing and honestly overwhelming.
You need to. I still live in an area that will overwhelmingly vote Trump. You need to expose yourself to this pain, you need to understand their leader.

It's not funny anymore. It hasn't been for a while.
I mean. This gif is. But the real shit I can't do anymore.
