Misinformation drops dramatically after Trump gets banned from Twitter

[arewethereyet]

By 2020 he had done so many things and gotten away with them that 2020 was just him seeing how far he could push things.  He stopped "presidenting" when he realized COVID didn't give a damn about his threats and insults.  I just wish he'd have stepped over the line in the sand a while back.  Things would have been a whole lot different if his goons would have stormed The Capitol six or so months ago.

Oh, I'm not saying he was ever a good president.  He wasn't.  He's going to be the reason future generations don't have to debate who the worst president was.

But before 2020, there wasn't covid which he failed to deal with and actually worked against efforts to control.  Honestly, I don't know if I could have handled covid worse if I tried.

2020 was also when race riots started up again and his words and actions only made them worse.  

Screeching about voter fraud for the last two months of 2020 was just the icing on the cake, especially when he lost every single court case he brought forth about it.

You want to know the other scary thing?  Trump, with one simple change, could have turned re-election into a cake walk.  All he had to do was take covid seriously from the start.  Americans tend to rally around their president in times of crisis.  Remember how Dubya had 90% approval ratings right after 9/11?  Trump could have had something like that if he had treated it like an actual crisis.  I suppose his own failure saved us from his future failures.

I agree that the biggest thing to sink Trump was COVID.  All the other awful things would have been set aside by voters if he had made a sincere attempt to get COVID under control.  

The race thing has always been right under the surface.  Trump brought it out in the full light of day.

Yeah, the big difference between Trump and most politicians: they at least attempt to bring people together and not alienate voters.  Trump, on the other hand, identifies the people who are hostile to him, and attack them like nothing else.  He doesn't want to waste time trying to be reconciliatory with anyone.  And that results in invigorating the opposition base against him.  That's why Biden ran as such a moderate: he didn't need to energize his base when Trump did that for him.

Perhaps Trump's greatest accomplishment will be the >10,000 Ph.D.s he will generate over the next few decades.
