What's this?

If I’m honest, from Jan 2017 until Election Day 2020, it was exactly like I

Thought it would be: chaotic, self-serving, often times incompetent (which became very important with Covid), shrinking the stature and influence of America in the world, etc ... with a few highlights including peace deals in the Middle East, not getting baited into any new foreign conflicts and 1 fantastic SC justice in Gorsuch (BK and ACB meh). I didn’t vote for him, but I also didn’t think he was as bad as the hyperbole coming from the media.

That all changed when he mobilized his 5th avenue crowd and fake news echo chamber to undermine the confidence in our democracy culminating in the seditious act of sicking them on Congress and the VP when they certified his election loss.
