I really think the desire to normalize Trump and characterize him as the next logical step in presidential history is counterproductive. He is dangerous specifically because he’s a freakish aberration, a break from normality. Even if you liked Bush or Reagan or whatever, you should hate him
No American has ever experienced a presidency like this one - a president who doesn’t know, care about, or follow our laws and founding documents. A president fully for sale, with no policy interests whatsoever, who appoints the worst people in the country to every single position.
He can’t even speak in sentences or write a letter on his own! He’s bizarre and dangerous, unfit from top to bottom, a husk of a human, an endless black hole of resentment and ego you wouldn’t trust to run a Burger King.
Say what you will about Republicans past but their leaders were basically competent humans. The kind of person who could successfully fill out a college application or manage a regional branch. Trump isn’t that. He’s fully deranged, a true psycho, whose only talent is shakedown and self-promotion.
May 10, 2025 12:48I've been looking into the h/o other current dictators.. Putin... Erdogan... Orban... all of them laid out the path for this fascist. Trump wants to be kind like those of Saudi Arabia and UAE... he wants that power without any accountability. It's his jam.
What sort of Nancy Pelosi bullshit is this?
no one who experienced the progressive we b through eight years of George W Bush would ever accuse him of being "basically competent".
you've memory-holed the fact that GWB was regarded as someone who diverged significantly from what was considered "normal" at the time.
When exactly was that? Republicans have been deranged psychopaths for longer than our lifetimes.
I can't get over how we've somehow managed to memory-hole the entire fucking 8-year Bush presidency.
