Wrong. The good people of this country will put the nightmarish Trump/Biden years in the rear view mirror and we'll move forward to a better place together with love and compassion for all of our fellow Americans who were duped into thinking 80 year old people should be POTUS.
With all the both-sidesing that happens in these threads, I hope people can see the difference between 2020 Biden and 2024 Biden. 2020 Biden took part in a primary and earned the nomination. While the pandemic limited his public appearances, he was sharp when he needed to be (debating Trump, for example). 2024 Biden screwed us all.
Trump, on the other hand, has always been the same guy.
…and Biden at his worst was better than Trump ever was. As a human.
True but anyone with an IQ over 90 knows dang well neither of those elderly clowns should have ever occupied The White House.
Quit insulting old people. Americans are so ageist.
Some of the youngest people in politics are the most unhinged, ignorant, and incompetent.
I'm old and I'm old enough to have known enough elderly people to know that elderly people can't adequately perform the very demanding duties of POTUS 24/7/365. This isn't ageism. This is common sense for those of us who understand how important and demanding the POTUS position is. Find a brain, will ya?
Well, you sound like an adolescent.
Says the person who thought it was wise to vote for a 78 year old leader of the free world. lol
There's a difference between voting for a 78-year-old career politician and a 78-year-old wannabe dictator.
78 is the new 68, ok? It's more about mental and physical fitness than number. A 60 year old with undetected early onset dementia is not going to perform any better than a 70+ mentally fit person.

This country is a cultural wasteland. The uneducated outnumber the educated because let's face it the wealth gap is huge and most parents do not have time to raise their kids when they need to work. This in turn puts not all but most if not many many kids at disadvantages educationally, both by way of formal schooling but also from a perspective of knowing what's right and wrong. This country is all about profit now so everything's expensive to the point where it's utter ridiculousness from our national to personal debt. Again not all but the majority don't have enough money to receive good healthcare. We all eat horribly, culturally nobody cares about each other only selfishness and independence seems to be priority thus gun culture, MAGA, no vax movement, etc.
Not suggesting there aren't wonderful people or caring communities out there but more and more, there's the above and there's a lot of decay in the culture of this country - what it stood for. Taking down NASA is a huge symbol - it stood for imagination, leadership, expertise at one point. Now this admin wants to replace it with ICE. Everything is interconnected. This kind of stuff makes an impact not just politically but culturally and it changes the energy of how this country moves forward.
Maybe other countries don't lament their futures as we do more and more now but they also don't pin their flags to all their houses and talk such a big game about how great their country is v to the rest of the world like Americans are apt to do.
You say “Dems are no better” but literally everything you point out - ICE, healthcare, gun culture, defunding science - can be laid at the feet of MAGA and the Republican Party. Is it possible that, maybe, both parties aren’t equally reprehensible? That Democrats for all their faults at least stand for responsible governance and not tearing down America?
There were higher # of deportations under Obama than under GOP presidents
Because the band-aid laws we had in place to stem flow of new migrants at the southern border were such that the migrants turned away during his two terms were considered deportations. Clinton, Bush, and Obama all did their best to manage new arrivals at the southern border while Congress continually failed to pass meaningful and helpful legislation. Trump and Biden made the issue 10x worse than it ever had to be and this is part of the reason why most experts consider them the worst two presidents in our history.

The USA is becoming part of the globalist blob.
Mass migration, throughout the whole of the Western world, is a deliberate ploy to dilute national culture and to transform individual states with their own languages, cultures, customs and architecture into a homogeneous blob.
The reason is as obvious as the communist structures are grey.
Why would anyone protect Melbourne when it looks no different to Berlin?
Why would an Italian fight for Italy when he regards himself as a global citizen rather than as an Italian?
To accomplish this task, globalists need a compliant population. A population that neither knows, nor cares, for their own history.
A population that has bit by bit been stripped bare of all allegiance to country or culture or even family.
The only allegiance that will be left will be to the all powerful global State.

If you dissect the upbringing of the people who are in charge, you will see they were brought up in fear. They are creating fear in each person because that is al they know how to create sadly.

There's a difference between voting for a 78-year-old career politician and a 78-year-old wannabe dictator.
There's a big difference between those two but that difference doesn't change the fact that neither elderly person should be elected to serve as the most powerful person in the world working a job that requires a combination of mental and physical fitness like no other job in the world. This is why Obama, Bush, and Clinton laugh hysterically at the thought of these elderly people trying to perform the job they struggled with in their 40s and 50s.
Three hundred and fifty pound people don't qualify for long Olympic long distance running events and 80 year people shouldn't qualify for being POTUS. Basic common sense. Try it.

+1 the behaviors that we are seeing that we are shocked by are normal in some countries. We are become less like Europe and more like Brazil. The European style of democracy that requires cooperation and negotiation is being pushed to the side for “Strongman Doers” and sometimes their “doing” is pretty unethical. Turkey’s president is locking up members of the opposition party, Bolsonaro and Lula in Brazil both have a stack of criminal charges, Duterte in the Philippines was having drug dealers and addicts shot without a trial. These are just the first examples I came up with, there is plenty more examples around the world. I don’t think we are going to be going backwards from the behavior we are seeing in our government, we are just getting started.
Have you been on a Carnival cruise lately? Have seen the steps the company had to take to stop it?
Please tell me what that has to do with the United States Government?
It's a prime example of the cultural rot we are experiencing. Do you think the government is fixing that? It has been one of the primary causes of it for 60 years.

Ethnonationalism will re-emerge because more people will notice that foreigners care nothing for artificial civic identity and will disregard it the moment they become the majority. You cannot expect natives to subscribe to a post-ethnic identity when they're the only ones participating.
