-The relationships with many of our 'allies' were never that positive, and the ones that are positive are doing just fine - Biden can regulate CO2 emissions in Asia? Astonishing! - The rich cannot be taxed because they own assets, not income, and those are mostly out of reach of the US govt. The democrats don't even meaningfully intend to try...thus why you ended up with Biden, not Sanders. It's just ear candy for the socialist wing of the DFL voting block. -You think you've seen power grabs? Ha. Wait till you see court packing, increased censorship, 'truth and reconciliation' tribunals, and god forbid that Harris ever get the reigns...that woman is a ruthlessly power-hungry Stalin in the making.

Exactly. Every single thing this guy is saying is like a half an hour on CNN. Just another simple normie. Nothing to see here.

Trump was elected because the status quo got everyone in this country nowhere. People all over the country were disenfranchised with the legacy candidates. Obama took the sharpest right turn immediately after inauguration day you've ever seen, yet he's championed as the most progressive president we've ever had, and these people lap it up.

There is one simple fact here, and it's Trump's largest mistake. If Trump would have acted like a statesman after he was elected, he would have won 40 states.

Yup. Trump has no one to blame but himself for his loss. His policies were popular, his vision of a neutral and well-armed America the right one, his stance on China well-supported even by DC thinktanks. He was a good president, but an intolerable person.
