I’m not sure it was who first made the observation that the key political question of our time is “Who was president in 2020,” but that person was right.

They just want us to forget how badly Trump bungled the COVID response. *Bungled, as in denied it was happening, doused in gasoline, and set ablaze with politicizing rhetoric & horrifying suggestions like "drink bleach"

They were so much happier when they were the minority party; then they could whine, complain and slander the Dems with no respite. Now they control all aspects of government, but they are nostalgic for the old, worn-out talking points. Put them back into opposition, voters, where they will be happy.

The MAGA #47 regime, hates how so much was handled by the #45 administration, from the Charlottesville antisemitic marches in 2017, the pullout of the climate agreement & dismantling the Iran Nuclear agreement, to the supremacists who killed an officer & burnt police stations & churches in 2020.

I wish there was a way to stop the propagation of lies without having to police whatever is said after the fact. Ethics used to be an arbiter. They don't have ethics. Something like baseball and hockey, three strikes -> three bald-face lies - and you're put in a penalty box with no microphone.

I've been thinking about the year 2020 a lot lately (sos) and I feel like something that helps contribute to this is that from the summer '20 on in many ways Trump had completely abdicated his presidency.

Obviously he was still technically in power but it became much more apparent to an incredibly larger proportion of the country he was manifestly unfit to lead the country. The COVID and then George Floyd protest responses really accelerated this.

The admin stopped doing the daily COVID briefing because they were an unmitigated disaster. IIRC at one point in the protests he was literally hiding in the WH basement! After 1/6 Pelosi and McConnell were effectively running the country.

I think there's an implicit acceptance — from people across the political spectrum — that by summer '20 Trump no longer viewed himself as (or arguably even wanted to be) CiC. In that vacuum you can project a lot of things and right-wingers are eager to backfill it with "Biden and the left".
