Anyone still thinking of Trump as the cause instead of the symptom is kidding themselves. He's been powerless for almost 4 years now and MAGAism is at an all-time-high. There's a much larger reckoning America needs to face instead of pinning Trump as some sacrificial lamb.
And pneumonia is just a symptom of AIDS, COVID, etc. Sometimes the symptoms will kill you before the cure can be implemented. Ignoring the dangerous effects would be just as foolish as not addressing the root cause.
Yes, he is the symptom, but he's also the greatest threat to this country at the moment. Capitalism will eventually need to be done away with, but that's harder to do under a fascist dictatorship.
Face what? Poorly funded educational systems? Christo-fascism? Social Media? Corporate-run/for-profit news/media outlets? Funny how the guy not in power has so much pull in our government that he could persuade the Republican-controlled house of reps to withhold voting on immigration - the very thing this 'lamb' uses to scare up his base. Sorry my guy, but he's part of the problem, too.
All of the above and then some. A person doesn't get ~74,000,000 votes off a campaign of overt hatred without some larger societal issues in effect; people whose lives are going great don't generally respond well to "we need to get rid of these people."
More specifically its the people that support and enable him. If it wasnt him it would be someone else. The undercurrents of fascism have been brewing since before the end of ww2
I'm not saying you're wrong, but calling Trump's supporters a "basket of deplorables" is probably not the best way to get some of the more moderate, more-likely-to-be-wooed voters away from him on election day.
You and everyone who downvoted is a total and complete idiot if you think a failson like Trump is your problem and not the organized 50 year planning of christian fascists in your country. I don't give a shit though, there is nothing stopping fascism from destroying the US and everyone it. Get fucked
In all fairness, he’s not a bad democratic choice. He’s a mid tier president who has been able to get a good amount of things done in spite of not having a supportive congress or judicial system.
To say it’s the only positive thing about him is to play into the hands of republicans.
Biden is not the president I wanted but he is certainly the president that I have willingly accepted. Not the whole radical I wanted but still getting a lot done.
I have outlawing railway workers from striking and a string of upswings related to student loan forgiveness that are systemically struck down by the judicial and legislative branches, because he just needs the announcement, and the average American stopped paying attention before the forgiveness was delivered.
Getting out of Iraq was a highlight, that has been completely negated by getting into the genocide of the Palestinian people, the new conflict with the Houthi, and a few other not widely reported new military engagements.
Edit: also, I'm not a fucking republican. I am an American Liberal. Stop invoking Republicans when I was talking about the state of the Democrat party.
