      Trump is still an anomaly. It’s been bad, but this is something else entirely. He is simultaneously the dumbest, most evil, and most corrupt President, and it’s not even close.

      He commits new acts worse than Watergate multiple times a week.

        Maybe I do need to read up on US Presidential history, but as my knowledge stands right now I’d say that, aside from only two or three presidents, every leadership has been progressive in some form. Every one except Trump and a couple others has objectively improved something for the majority of the public. Mr. Orange is, if anything, proof of de-evolution.

          I mean even Nixon gave us the EPA. I was not aware during Reagan, so I associate him with excellent jelly beans and hatred. Jelly beans are good, right?

      Neo-liberalism has brought us here, it’s designed to slowly ratchet us toward another authoritarian state. Because you cannot dare mar the sanctity of the “Free Market” you have to sacrifice at its altar everything else.
