What's this?

We can thank him for waking up an entire generation of political activists

And inspiring millions of first time voters to rise up and get rid of him. And maybe even destroying the Republican Party. He also taught us a valuable lesson about all the ways the office can be abused and misused, the ways lies can metastasize into hate and resentment, and the way our institutions can be shaken to their core when you allow a despicable, amoral piece of trash like him to be president. Valuable lessons that we will take with us for generations.

Other than that, his "accomplishments" are appointing conservative judges and tax cuts. You know, things any republican would do with the Senate run by Mitch McConnell.

I hope that was worth it. My guess is you didn't get much if anything out of the tax cut.
