    The USA has been falling apart since 1975 and voting for MAGA, not once, but twice is accelerating the process.

      No, when the American Civil War was ended without ending all of the enemy leadership. Giving clemency to traitors who are fundamentally evil, was and is a foolish thing to do.

      If there is a 2nd American Civil War, it is a lesson worth remembering.

      He literally paid people to vote for trump. In the open.

      Nobody needs to be convinced of that. That is a fact. What you need to do is convince the people in power that that should be a punishable offense. But he put the people on power on power, so why would they punish him.

      He definitely influenced it. Like, massively. But directly, hands on…? Yeah maybe lol

      Seriously, though, i wish we knew. On character judgement and history and intent and everything? Yes 100% absolutely. But have evidence? Hard to investigate with Nazis running almost all of the government.

    A broken country elected a broken leader.

    America was already broken, that’s why trump got elected. Everything from education to financial security is an ongoing disaster. Then trump & co. destroyed the rest.

    The New York Times is partly responsible for this. The bullshit centrist coverage by mainstream media allowed the Democrats to shift to the right, which led to Hillary and her loss.
