I'm gonna put it in a bulleted list so it's easier for you to understand:

  • Trump is racist
  • Trump is a rapist
  • Trump is a serial sexual abuser
  • Trump was Putin's lapdog
  • Trump stacked the courts, making it possible for them to take away basic rights we've held for decades
  • Trump normalized bigotry to the point where people of basically all minorities are worse off as long as he's popular
  • Trump tried to organize a fucking violent coup to falsify an election and keep himself in power
  • Trump was impeached
  • Trump immediately appointed his unqualified children to high positions of power
  • Trump tried to trade Puerto Rico for Greenland, after Puerto Rico was devastated by a hurricane
  • Trump withdrew from the Paris Accord, and generally reversed lots of efforts on slowing climate change
  • Trump appointed a "birth control skeptic", anti-abortion advocate, and abstinence-only believer to the head of the family planning board
  • Trump nominated a climate change skeptic to chair the White House's climate advisory board
  • Trump cut corporate taxes to their lowest level in decades
  • Trump oversaw the longest government shutdown in history
  • Trump allowed border facilities that separated children from parents and kept people in cages
  • Trump had BLM protesters gassed so he could take a photo with an upside-down Bible
  • Trump has been charged with several crimes since leaving office, most of which are still in ongoing legal proceedings
  • Trump stole highly classified documents from the white house and stored them in boxes at his residence, and evidence suggests those documents have since made their way into foreign adversaries' hands

Now everything is expensive as hell

Because of Trump's piss-poor handling of Covid and four years of corporate welfare

everyone is depressed and angry all the time

Because the orange man and his supporters are still threatening our democracy daily

Trump supporters like those things, they just don't want to say it publicly. Just ask them "what do you think of (any minority group)?" and watch them squirm.

At least half of these are just made up nonsense straight from those bogus headlines I was talking about.

The other half are exaggerated and blown out of proportion to make them seem worse than what actually happened.

I've seen this argument from another poster as well but it still doesn't make any sense to me.

If Trump's corporate welfare was responsible for keeping prices low while he was in office, and Biden ending it caused them to raise prices to make profit another way, then wasn't it actually good for the ordinary customer? How exactly does Biden sticking it to them help you if you end up paying for it every day at the checkout register? Sounds like sticking a knife in your own flesh to own the rich.

By living rent free in your head, mostly.
