    Trump governed like a milquetoast Republican and most of what he did the Democrats haven’t undone, the tax breaks for corporations, the tariffs, the immigration policy, the fucking wall.

    The rhetoric is part of the hyperreal spectacle of politics and it’s hilarious how so many people still clutch pearls over his insane personality even after his first term. His entire political brand was created by provoking outrage and he continues to do this. The threat to democracy is the Republican party and people forget how they already stole the 2001 election, and how fraudulent American elections historically were. The “fair” election is a very recent thing, like last 50 years. Some of the stories from the past are hilarious too like literally paying people to get on busses and carting them to polling stations.
