In future years Democrats are goung to look back at going all in to
kneecap Trump in his first term and win in 2020 as a collosal mistake.
I know I'm going to get pushback about the going "all in" and going past
normal opposition tactics, so here are the major instances:
-The Russiagate hoax
-The 18 month Mueller investigation
- The Ukrainian impeachment
- Encouraging the George Floyd riots (wasn't Tim Walz much more culpable
than Trump?)
- Exploiting covid to relax voting rules and enforcement
- Using Social media allies to suppress legitimate news like Covid origins
- Deep state meddling like the 51 former intelligence officials trying
to cover up Hunters laptop.
None of that was illegal, and I don't expect anyone to apologize or even acknowledge it.
But in future years Progrssives are going to say "If we just let Trump
serve another 4 years, it would have been more of a continuation mixing
policy successes, and political and personell foundering in the second
term, rather than the laser focused (ok its more like an unfocused but intentional earthquake shockwave) destruction hitting Democratic
institutions and the bureaucracy, but I repeat myself, now.
This was compounded by picking a 2020 candidate who had "good for half a
term only" tatoored on his forehead, and a DEI hire VP that can't talk
about anything without using at least 500 words without saying anything.
Then they turn policy over to a buch of MMT apparatchiks that pick the
20 side of every single major 80-20 issue, like illegal immigration,
criminal justice "reform", transitioning confused prepubescents, and
even the internal combustion engine, kneecapping them trying to win a
2024 rematch
Trump is still sore anout 2020, and I don't know whether he will ever
admit he lost or not, but he should be thankful because getting 4 years
to plot his sequel was the best thing for him, and the country, and he
should thank the Dems for it.
Trumps 2nd term is going to be a model for Republicans for the next half century.
