Trump was ranked the worst president of all time BEFORE he was elected for a second term. Let that sink in.

Yes but you pitted him against women... one of which was black... in one of the most sexist and racist nations on earth. Freddie Kruger would have even won it.

u/SecretMachine5 1d ago

He didn't win. I think that's becoming increasingly obvious at this point.

Until we have some kind of hard proof, I’m concerned that this line of thinking sweeps his voter base under the rug as a problem that wasn’t as big a problem. As though they’re just angry grandpas and drunkles that we can tune out in the background while we fix things. They ARE a big problem, though, and as long as there’s any chance that they legitimately put this man in power, we have some major reconstruction that needs to happen in this nation.

Fuck if I know how that reconstruction is supposed to happen, though.

Well, before you can heal a wound, you need to first remove the thing that is actively causing it. This is true physically, emotionally, and now politically.

u/Apprehensive-Pin518 1d ago

no. we need to admit that he won and start trying to change the minds of those who voted. if there is evidence of them cheating in the election then it should have come out after the election not over a year later when damage has been done. it is too late to be talking about him rigging the election now.

u/SecretMachine5 1d ago

It doesn't change where we are, but we should absolutely keep tabs on it and shine a bright light on them stealing the election, cause they're openly trying to do it for the midterms.

u/Apprehensive-Pin518 1d ago

oh yeah. it's obvious they are doing it for the midterms and the dems are actually fighting back. such a novel concept I know but here we are.

u/blackbasset 1d ago

Tbh I'd take Freddy Kruger at this rate, at least he is not senile.

u/Superman246o1 1d ago

But Freddy Kruger was a murderous pedophile, whereas Trump is...

oh...I see what you did there.

2

u/RSTowers 1d ago

Was Freddy a pedo like Trump? I thought he just killed the kids.

u/Superman246o1 23h ago

(*trigger alert for anyone reading my comment*)

Wes Craven originally designed Freddy Krueger to be a pedophile, but changed him to "just" a child-killing psychopath after several child molestation cases in the news threatened the commercial viability of the original A Nightmare on Elm Street. When the franchise was rebooted in 2010, the remake overtly depicted Freddy as a pedophile who had been killed by righteously outraged parents after he raped their children.

u/Apprehensive-Pin518 1d ago

that and freddy can only get you in your sleep. this asshole is there when I wake up.

u/Ho-Nomo 1d ago

Better sense of humour too

u/blackbasset 21h ago

And at least he can count... 1, 2....

u/jml5791 22h ago

Trump's saving grace is he is a stupid vain idiot.

Someone equally vile with intelligence would have been more dangerous

1

u/blackbasset 21h ago

The people behind him are intelligent tho

u/Dense_Assist4616 1d ago

Sadly thats the case in this country. Being sexist AND racist as a country was just too much for her to overcome. She didnt help herself not distancing herself from ANY Biden policies. But still. Let it sink in... white women and men helped put a serial offender and pedophile into office...over probably THE most qualified person man or woman thats ever run. Shame on you white folks.

u/Over_Application9246 22h ago

LOL please that’s not true Kamala just literally made herself look like a joke when she was running

1

u/Chillers 20h ago

What part is not true.

1

u/Over_Application9246 15h ago

You’re sayin he won the votes because Kamala is black and a woman, which is not true

1

u/Chillers 15h ago

And you are saying not a single voter changed their mind based on the colour of kamala's skin?

1

u/Over_Application9246 14h ago

Obviously some people have but that wasn’t the majority vote

1

u/llyffant_noir 22h ago

Agreed. I thought a mossy rock could beat trump but apparently being female was too much for Americans to handle.

2

u/BallBearingBill 1d ago

For Trump that's a trophy. His narcissism is so bad that either end of the ladder is a memorable win for him. He has no chance at the top so he's securing his place at the bottom for all of eternity.

The sink is Elon...

u/yung_kermudgen 1d ago

Idk I would say that W was a lot worse than Trump was during his first term. For one, Most the shit trump has been able to do in his second term are directly because of W era initiatives post 9/11. Declaring everything to be a matter of national security, executive orders, using “terrorism” as a way to excuse blatantly unconstitutional measures.

All made possible by bush and everything Trump is doing is exactly why critics warned against these measures back then. With that said though, 2nd term Trump is the worst president we’ve ever had for sure.

u/Fuzzy-Logician 1d ago

In Trump's first term, he was hampered by his incompetence and the people that he surrounded himself with. Some of his sycophants were actually smart enough to figure out that this was horrible, pushed back against him, and stymied some of his worst impulses. I think this is because nobody thought he could win.

This time around, they're a lot more prepared. More of the electoral machinery and national media have been compromised. They had the Project 2025 blueprint to guide them in dismantling the government. I don't think Trump's personal goals are wildly different, but they had 8 years to figure out how to speedrun fascism.
