MOT 3,605 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 4 hours ago, Serial Chiller said: Trump is scary not simply because he’s a horribly incompetent president but because he successfully undermined and discredited democracy, information and rational thinking. His legacy is beyond the damage of 4 years. All true I'm afraid, but it isn't just about Trump, it's about how the world is now, the US in partucular. Not that long ago, someone who campaigned as Trump did in 2016 wouldn't have got past the first fence. There would have been no internet, and even the most right-wing media would have condemned him for his anti-democratic tendencies. He would have been squashed like a bug. Now we find ourselves in a situation where, not only can he win in 2016, but he can behave - openly - as he has done for the last four years and still get 74m votes. I don't know what Joe Biden, or anyone, can do about that. It's tragic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
