    Trump is less evil in two ways. First off he’s just less competent as an imperial administrator. When he tries to do evil shit on the world stage he’s just not very good at it and is more likely to fumble the ball than Biden.

    Second, he provokes a leftwing backlash that Biden doesn’t. Trump says no covid protections, Dems get mad, we get half covid protections. Biden says no covid protections, Dems say nothing, republicans say “We should also require spitting into strangers mouths,” and we end up here.

      And then Democrats say "we need to reach across the aisle" and "we need a strong Republican party"

      and we end up here.
