You know, DOGE, fascist president and corporations dictating what people can do, institutions being ruined, laws being ignored. Is there any way out of that or is it over? Is the USA done?

    Former presidents at least recognized they had the responsibility to take care of both the people who voted for them and the people who didn’t.

    I wonder if Americans are going to rewrite history to rehabilitate Trump the same way they do their other former presidents.

      Should he allow for elections again he will be given the same reverence as Regan. I only found out about how much of a monster he was in Junior/ Senior year of highschool and I grew up in Lefty Godless Seattle.

        When he dies in the not too distant future, he’s either going to be completely rehabilitated, or he’s going to be painted as the only bad Republican.

          going to be completely rehabilitated, or he’s going to be painted as the only bad Republican.

          the only bad Republican? Nixon, Reagan, H Bush. None of those are given particularly great marks when covered in school.

          Where are you getting your information from?

      rewrite history

      History is so full of rewrites that historians aren’t even in agreement on a lot of it.
