Bro Glass-Steagall was repealed under his watch. These two things are on a whole nother level.

When someone today tells me Trump is the worst President in American history, I instantly write them off in my head as Not A Serious Person. That unfortunately includes like 60% of all human beings I know.

There is a thing called hyperbole which doesn't indicate everyone is a moron but you nor does it mean the person saying it doesn't have a great point. Trump was fucking awful. How can you so neatly quantify how bad they all are? I think it's pretty goddamned bad that Trump has eroded the concept of democracy and singlehandedly killed unknown tens of thousands of people minimum by downplaying COVID. Oh well guess I'm just a fucking joke for thinking for a moment that those two things could ever be worse than things Reagan did. After all, it's all so cut and dried.

Get off your fucking high horse.
