      Trump could give a fuck about passing anything so long as he could shitpost on Twitter. He bit the hand that fed him in McConnell and the dark money that ran his 2016 campaign.

      Biden meanwhile is slavishly beholden to the folk who dark moneyed his win and other centrists in 2020. Biden is an egoless conduit for the donor class and the DNC establishment.

      Biden in one year has nominated more TV talking heads and former lobbyists to positions of power than Trump did in two. Only thing Biden hasn't done is outright familial nepotism.

        And honestly as far as corruption styles go, familial nepotism is pretty low on my priority list. At least that only helps a handful of minor ghouls who got their position by being related to someone evil, rather than by being as personally evil as possible themselves. I’d much rather Ivanka Trump than someone from fucking Raytheon or Lockheed

        And with someone as incompetent and stupid as Trump, his family tends to be just as moronic and incompetent

      Brandon did more damage in one year than Trump four. Amazing achievement

        It’s honestly baffling. I knew he was gonna suck but I did think he was gonna be marginally better than Trump. My worry was that whoever followed would be an even worse backlash, like DeSantis. Turns out he’s worse in the moment and in the future!

          Oh we're still going to get the backlash. Chuds have gained no ground on the culture war and they are ready as ever to punish their enemies. We'll have book burnings within the decade.

            Oh 100%. At this point I’m convinced that unless the democrats do a sudden about-face (which seems unlikely) in 2024 the best case scenario is a second Trump term. Otherwise we’re getting DeSantis or someone else way more evil than Trump

                I genuinely don’t understand why anyone would ever like DeSantis unless they are, like him, an absolutely irredeemable demon who deserves nothing but :pit:

                Like, Trump I understood. He didn’t talk like a politician (because he was a moron). He was genuinely funny (despite being a monster). He had personality, even if it was one I didn’t enjoy. I don’t think every Trump supporter is a full on foaming at the mouth Nazi.

                But DeSantis? He is the most disgusting, evil, soulless ghoul I’ve ever seen. There’s no personality, no humor, he doesn’t even own the libs in a fun way. He scares me to my core. I believe there’s a very good chance that DeSantis will be the one to bring real fascism to America

                  Trump gave them the vaccines. DeSantis told them they didn't need to wear masks and workers dont matter. Everybody is going to Florida. Not hard to figure out

                    I thought that for a long time, and he is still really scary, but DeSantis is a couple steps ahead of him I think. Despite what I would think, Republicans do like him. Like, a lot. Last I checked the only Republican more popular with their base than DeSantis is Trump
