“Do you denounce Trump?” Elite liberals, as a class used to comfortable and orderly lives, were massively freaked out by the election of Donald Trump, and what they have demanded in turn is not a new and better political movement but for everyone else to be freaked out too. By Freddie DeBoer.

All the conditions that brought about the Dreaded Trump™ are still present in the 'united' states under Mr. "Unity". Until the reasons people voted for a Trump go away, nothing will change. Trump wasn't a 'disease', he was a symptom.

Trump wasn't a 'disease', he was a symptom.

This.

The piece the left has never understood is that people didn't vote for Trump. They emphatically rejected his opponent. Do we really believe the states that did so then turned around and elected her male dementia-patient clone four years later? The story doesn't remotely add up.

They hate Trump supporters more than they hate Trump.

Yes... The only decent question the dems have ever asked.

I think the purpose of trump was to make most the population ready to accept ANYTHING better. The media constantly rummaged through his dirty laundry his entire time in office. The standards for the position were like Jerry Springer level low, enter joe.

I think you're right about his role.

It's important to note (relating to your screen name) that the most dangerous policies globally - which is to say all the policies related to Covid - have been supported both by Trump and by his "opponents". The vaccines, now lethal to thousands, were his baby, yet the left can't adopt them hard enough.

Trump, although he represented some policies more sane than what has followed (race, gender, and immigration), still promotes the top-down paradigm. That paternalistic view of the world will end our species.
