    There was four years of Trump and nothing particularly bad happened.

    In fact, global instability has been markedly worse in the four years since.

    which president’s administration directly attacked Europe with the Nord Stream II bombing?

      Except that time a million and a half people died and literally the whole country had to stay inside collecting unemployment and washing our groceries while all of his followers got super amped up and violent because they weren’t (always) being allowed to make things worse

      And that little bonus surprise at the end and how a sizable portion of the country including some important judges hates elections and anyone who makes them happen now

      I mean there’s more but those are good starters

      Under Trump America withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal. I’d say that move did negatively affect today’s global stability.

      He didn’t really have a plan for his first term. That’s why he only was able to do a few bad things. This time around there is a plan.

        The plan just seems to be more standard American bullshit. Which would happen no matter who was president. Remember how genocide Joe was going to save democracy? Instead the creepy bastard murdered hundreds of thousands of innocent people.

          I wouldn’t classify Project 2025 as “more standard American bullshit”.

          It’s basically a guide on how to turn the USA into a fully fascist country within one presidential term.

              I put that in so people don’t come out of the woodwork to tell me that the US already have some fascist tendencies.

      actually, it would seem that the nordstream attack was a bipartisan effort, with the plan already having gotten support under Trump:

      interviewer: what’s your relation like with vladimir putin? donald trump: i think it’s very good, but i was tough with him. i ended the pipeline. it was called nordstream 2.
