The funny thing is that I remember this being said about every candidate since Bill Clinton. Dont worry everything is going to be alright.
gestures broadly at the world that has been increasingly crumbling
You sure about that?
I agree things are crumbling, but Trump is a symptom not the cause. Trump is not going to be the end of things, he is just a dude that likes to talk about himself and be important.
I would broadly agree with that, except for the documented attempts to subvert the election. I think that ones pretty uniquely bad
I guess it depends on what subvert the election means. From all that I have known and heard it seems to be the same legal things that all the candidates usually do. And then when I say this someone links some partisan article about how it was worse than when Deathstar destroys Alderan.
You think that January 6 was the kind of "legal thing" that all candidates do?
Trump wasnt there on jan 6th, and many of the people that were imprisoned at worst did trespassing.
