Except you know, that one thing
Or that other thing

You need some covfefe, because you forgot the most important one:
- attempted dismantlement of the post-ww2 world order at the explicit cost of America and her western allies (broadly construed to include Japan, Australia, Korea, NZ, etc.), for the explicit benefit of Russian hegemony under Putin, with the knock-on effect of empowering most significantly our greatest geopolitical rival, China, which hopes to promulgate its fascist hellscape throughout Asia.
And how about packing the courts with right wing nutjobs? Roe vs Wade’s demise is far from the only consequence there
That happened under Biden. Sure, it’s a direct consequence of Trump’s presidency…but this sort of causal reasoning may well be too advanced for the folks parroting this inane content to comprehend.Edit: what I was trying to say (apparently unsuccessfully…) was that the kind of person who thinks nothing bad happened under Trump probably won’t acknowledge that Roe vs. Wade being overturned was a direct consequence of Trump. Which is stupid — in addition to the “acute” damage that Trump did, the ongoing damage being done from his judicial appointments is arguably the most damage that he has (and will continue to) do.
How high are you?
I’m saying that the folks saying “nothing bad happened under Trump” may be a few fries short of a happy meal.
I have seen dimwits literally try to claim Dems are responsible for Dobbs because of timing. Perhaps they are the reason why people are reacting strongly to what you wrote.
I see them blaming the Democrats for what they did. Overturn Roe vs Wade? Dems fault for the letting them do it. The mental gymnastics they do along with having the goal posts mounted to a Bugatti is amazing.
Nothing particularly bad happened, to them
What, you don’t remember Marx dropping that line in one of his letters to Engels?
I think he titled it, “Fuck You, Got Mine.”
It’s telling that the big thing the guy cared about in terms of each candidate’s impact was the NordStream pipeline sabotage.
(Not that I think Biden was behind the pipeline exploding necessarily, just that it’s an odd thing to pick out as a big impact of Biden’s term in office.)
Trump is a lot like Reagan in that a lot of his policy choices are time bombs. In forty years, someone’s going to be wondering “Jesus, why is this shit so dysfunctional? Oh, it’s
ReaganTrump. Of course it’sReaganTrump, it’s alwaysReaganTrump.”Some of it will not even take that long. Like the tax breaks trump gave out that expired during Biden’s term. I see that cited a lot about why Biden bad.
Only tax breaks for regular people expired, the corporate handouts were good indefinitely.
Yeah, I can’t remember anything bad that happened in 2020.
Ok but… Let’s be real trump didn’t cause it, he just made it worse.
No, he caused it. He may not have directly created the virus, but he is personally responsible for the disaster that tore apart the US.
-
He explicitly disbanded the organization directly responsible for warning about and planning for possible pandemics.
-
He dismissed the danger and refused to do anything at all until the pandemic was in full swing.
-
He politicized standard and critical pandemic procedure, crippling any effort to manage the spread and deathtoll.
-
He caused havoc in ppe distribution as feds competed with states and hospitals to fill a “stockpile” that strangely never seemed to distribute said stockpile.
-
He actively spread misinformation on treatment and preventative care, downplaying necessary medical treatment and promoting crackpot “cures”.
-
Even at it’s height in 2020, he was attempting to sweep it away out of sight instead of doing what needed to be done: https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/22/politics/donald-trump-testing-slow-down-response/index.html
Suffice to say, he did plenty to make the pandemic what it is. Honestly, the only thing I can give him any credit for is focusing on fast tracking the vaccine. But considering his part in fostering the pandemic we are still dealing with, he isn’t absolved of much, imo.

Infinitely worse. It’s hard to calculate, but there were countries where they literally had single digit covid numbers during the pre vaccine days, just because they gave the situation the gravity and strictness it deserved
I have a family member who’s in the hospital right now, in a part of the country where practically no one including the hospital staff is wearing a mask. It’s hard to even find them in the hospital to put one on. There are rooms clearly marked with mask and droplet precautions on the outside of the door, and the staff will take a mask from a box next to the door, go inside to deal with that person, and then when they’re done they take their mask back off and go back to walking around treating patients with no mask. What do the people in those rooms have? I don’t know but I can confidently say the hospital is fucking up in a fashion that is actively killing some number of patients and that politics are involved in that.
I am constantly worrying whether Trump’s bullshit will wind up adding my family member, individually and personally, to that 1.5 million surplus deaths
I wouldn’t call Project 2025 “more standard American bullshit”. It’s a plan for how to turn America into a fully fascist country within one presidential term.
The US is already a fully fascist country.
Ahh, leftism-doomerism. No one quite so right wing.
