100% agree.
That said, I was pretty happy when most of Biden's first term (except the withdrawal from Afghanistan) was pretty silent in terms of political news. I don't really agree with what he did (or rather didn't do) as President, but I liked that I didn't really feel the need to pay attention.
Some of us prefer forgetting that government exists outside of tax and election seasons.
The withdrawal from Afghanistan was about the only good thing he did in his whole career, and libs will never forgive him for it.
Agreed, and once he actually followed through on it, I considered my vote for him justified. If Trump also actually pulled out, I would've been happy with that as well.
I wasn't happy with all the noise in the news about it though. We all knew pulling out would suck, but it needed doing, and honestly, we should've pulled out under Obama.
Then why did you say you were satisfied with everying but that?
I was happy with the relative quiet in the news, except for the noise around the Afghanistan withdrawal. I'm not satisfied with his presidency (he could've done a much better job), but I am satisfied with the lack of drama.
That's what I meant.
This is a perfect encapsulation of privilege. People aren't upset that Trump is doing horrible things. They're upset that he's doing horrible things that might affect them. They want a Democrat who only does horrible things in other countries, so they can brunch in peace.
