I’d like to know this too. We all know the issues with the current regime. It’s clearly the worst in our lifetime.
But about if these issues may not have been apparent before the internet. There may be different corruption, different rubber stamps and hiding of corruption and crime
As far as I can tell the current administration has cemented their place in history, with the sheer maliciousness and negative impact on the country and even the world. A Term which will live in infamy. Standing far below every other administration
…. But will history agree?

Like an order of magnitude worse?
And then of course there is the christofascism angle, which is extremely disturbing because he definitely plans to never leave power again. He’s currently trying hard to normalize use of military force against US citizens so he can seize control of the elections to make sure they go his way.

Facts? What are those?
There are 75 Million brain-washed idiots out there who we know, that can give a shit less about facts. Those people voted Trump in in hopes he'll - get this - lower egg prices. Now I know that's part of the reason but it was a large part. The same egg prices Trump would later tell everyone to shut up about, for real.

If this is your reaction to a thoughful response, you are not going to find deep discussions anywhere.

I mean I don’t have the amount of time necessary to go into how dirty past presidents have been and I certainly don’t have the knowledge at my fingertips. But also, I think the stuff like Watergate and Monica Lewinski is barely a blip on the chart when you put Trump on it too. Which is not to say I condone the behavior of those presidents or seek to normalize their behavior. Just that from a numerical perspective it barely registers.
